Portable sleep lab expertise
Oxford BioSignals Ltd, Oxford UK, announces BioSomnia
Plus. A further development of the BioSomnia product
range, BioSomnia Plus provides a hypnogram for the
easier assessment of sleep macrostructure and microstructure
including microarousals and microsleeps.
Sleep disturbance is being associated with cardiovascular
disease, an increase in road accidents, asthma, stroke
and a substantial loss of productivity.
Designed to support the diagnosis and therapy of
sleep disorders, the lightweight, battery-powered
monitor continuously analyses a single-channel of
brainwaves (rather than the conventional single channel
plus 3 ancillary channels) using patented neural
network technology.
In addition to the use of only a single channel,
electrodes can be placed out of the hairline therefore
making the system ideal for application by non-specialists
and for use in non-laboratory settings.
First-time sufferers of sleep complaints can be
quickly assessed and the efficacy of ongoing treatment
programs can be evaluated without the need for costly
and daunting sleep laboratory admissions.
BioSomnia Plus is “a useful tool for differentiating
sleep and wakefulness”. Physicians can, for
the first time, obtain objective measures, in both
graphical and statistical format, of their patient’s
sleep patterns whilst monitoring them in the most
appropriate environment.
