About 22 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea.
For middle-aged men, 1 in 4 suffers from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (17% for women).
The average cost for an in-lab sleep study, used to determine and diagnose sleep apnea is $5,384. A high price tag for a diagnosis which may turn up negative.
A new device on the market is a wearable that allows you to sleep in the comfort of your own bed. You wear it on your finger and wrist and the total price tag is: $189.
That’s a 96.5% savings for a common diagnostic.
Enough savings that employers should be providing this wearable to their employees for zero charge.
