SleepBitHealth Information Notice
SleepBit is a tool to record your sleep and snoring and watch how they change. It is not a service that diagnoses or treats disease.
What SleepBit does and does not do
| It does | It does not |
|---|---|
| Records sound and movement during sleep and shows figures and charts. | Diagnose sleep apnea or any other condition. |
| Compares your snoring ratio before and after you change a habit. | Recommend treatments or medicines. |
| Gives you records and general information to bring to a clinic visit. | Replace a clinician's tests such as a sleep study. |
Limits of the data
- Figures from a phone microphone and sensors depend on where the phone is, the room and background noise, and can be inaccurate.
- Sleep stages and scores are estimated from sound and movement; they are not a direct measurement of brain activity.
- "Suspected breathing pause" is a reference signal based on sound patterns. Whether breathing really stops can only be confirmed by medical testing.
When to see a clinician
Talk to a clinician if any of these apply, whatever the app shows:
- Someone has seen you stop breathing or gasp during sleep
- You are very sleepy in the daytime or doze while driving despite enough sleep
- You often wake with headaches, a dry mouth or choking at night
- You have high blood pressure or heart disease, or a child's snoring keeps going
If you have chest pain, trouble breathing or another emergency symptom, do not use the app; contact your local emergency number immediately.
Guides and sources
