MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY FOR INNOVATIVE DIAGNOSTICS
INSOMNIA - The most prevalent and undiagnosed Sleep Disorder
30 % of the adult population suffer from insomnia compared to 3-5 % OSAS.*
The HomeSleepTest (HST) device is a cost effective, easy to use home-based sleep screener to determine sleep stages, sleep disturbances and resulting sleep fragmentation by cortical arousals.
Thanks to it’s compact design and minimal wiring, the application is very simple. The HST reliably records EEG, EOG, EMG, impedance, ambient light, activity, position and sound for snoring detection.

The HomeSleepTest – explained in 2 minutes
Efficient & affordable insomnia screening
- Objective determination of sleep stages
- Recording of EEG/EOG, EMG, continuous impedance, light, activity, position, sound (snoring)
- Easy application in the patient’s home
- Detection of cortical arousals and sleep fragmentation
- Cloud based analysis software, AASM-compliant analysis and report templates (encrypted data transfer)
- Recording of multiple nights
CONVENIENT SLEEP RECORDING AT HOME
Recording Workflow
THE DOCTOR
The patient is given the HomeSleepTest (HST) to pre-screen for any potential underlying sleep disorder, especially insomnia.
THE PATIENT
The HST is so easy to use that the sensor can be applied by the patient in the comfort of their own home.
THE TABLET
The tablet will guide the patient through the sensor application. When the test starts, the tablet records all the data, that the sensor transfers via Bluetooth.
THE CLOUD
As soon as the sleep study is finished, the data will be transferred for analysis from the tablet to our cloud platform.
THE REPORT
The measurement is processed and a report will be made available. The scoring is verified by the doctor based on the recorded signal data.
EXPERTS' OPINIONS
Dr. Hans-Günter Weeß:
“The SOMNOmedics HomeSleepTest is a good way to obtain objective data on sleep quality outside the sleep laboratory and information on the cause of insomnia at the first two stages of treatment. Thus, treatment and cost-intensive methods in the sleep laboratory can be preserved and patients can be treated more quickly.”
Dr. Holger Hein:
“In addition to a detailed anamnesis and the collection of subjective sleep data by questionnaires and a sleep protocol lasting several weeks, a measurement of sleep stages is also indispensable for the accurate diagnosis of insomnia. Best in the usual conditions, so at home. With the HomeSleepTest from SOMNOmedics, there is a good procedure that is easy to use by the patient himself and which provides valid data fast and reliable.”
APPLICATION OF THE HomeSleepTest
RECORDED SIGNALS
EEG* – Frontopolar application Fp1:M1
EOG – Left/right eye movement
EMG – Muscle tone
* Two additional EEG signals are available for display in the software

Recording
With a recording time of up to 36 hours, several consecutive nights can be recorded. With only 2 hours charging time after one night, the HST is ready for its next operation quickly.
Tablet
The tablet will guide the patient through the sensor application. After starting the test, all data from the sensor are recorded on the tablet via Bluetooth.
Cloud
As soon as the sleep study is finished, the data will be transferred for analysis from the tablet to our cloud platform.
Sleep report
The measurement is processed and a report is provided. The recorded data should be verified by a physician.
