ANECDOTE

Founder’s Personal Sleep Struggle

Dr. Chopra personally experienced chronic sleep deprivation during pulmonary critical care fellowship while caring for sleep apnea patients.
His frustration with delays in care inspired him to specialize in sleep medicine at Harvard.

ADVICE

Self-Screen Sleep Health

Clinicians should assess their own sleep health using four key questions about morning feeling, daytime tiredness, ease of falling asleep, and sleep consolidation.
This simple self-screening can identify the need for further sleep evaluation.

INSIGHT

Why Longitudinal Sleep Testing Matters

One-night sleep tests fail to capture night-to-night sleep variability, limiting personalized care.
Longitudinal sleep testing over many nights enables trend analysis and precise treatment experiments.

Empower Sleep uses FDA-approved technology approved to aid in the diagnosis and management of sleep disorders. Your sleep is recorded using a wearable ring and minimally disruptive to your sleep. This accurate, convenient, and comfortable ring can be used for multiple nights, which gives us more data to ensure optimal outcomes.

The SleepImage software and Viatom oximeter ring use 6 channels of data to accurately detect sleep apnea and estimate sleep quality.

The following data is measured: Plethysmogram, Heart Rate, Heart Rate Variability, Respiration, Blood Oxygenation (SpO2) and Movement (Actigraphy).

The at-home sleep test is shown to agree with in-lab tests in over 90.5% of cases (with 98.8% accuracy in severe sleep apnea and 96.3% in mild sleep apnea patients).
