Stage One - Let’s Get Started

We start our program by providing a simple home-based overnight sleep test and health assessment.

Our test is simple to set up and measures the level of oxygen in the blood, nasal airflow, and occurrence of obstructed breathing while sleeping. 


The test will identify those who have a moderate-high profile of obstructive sleep apnea and would meet the criteria for a CPAP trial. 


Left untreated, these are the employees who present your immediate, and ongoing risk to your business. 


Our process will quickly identify and then provide a specific treatment plan for the individual so that they can arrive at work Fit for Duty
