Analysis of sleep study (Polysomnography) raw data is the backbone of sleep medicine. Management of patients with sleep apnoea mainly hinges on the interpretation of polysomnography findings for the patients. Thus, accurate interpretation of the data is thus key to achieving right outcomes for the patients.
The sleep medicine landscape is constantly evolving; impacted by advancements in technology, improvements in our understanding of sleep and ever-changing requirements of regulatory agencies. This has made polysomnographic data interpretation a highly skilled and specialised job. It is now one of the most specialised skill in medicine. Its resource intense requirements led to the quest for findings alternatives like software based (auto- scoring) analysis of data.
Despite the surge of interest in these auto scoring pathways (drawing enthusiasm from some research studies showing comparability) it is becoming increasingly clear that it does not hold in many if not most routine clinical scenarios. Therefore, most regulatory agencies like Medicare now mandate manual review and oversight of all sleep studies to ensure accurate interpretation.
We are always excited by new research initiatives in sleep medicine as it is our core belief that these have the potential to improve access and outcomes for patients. We understand the complexities of research trials. Besides the pressure to meet rigid compliance regulations there are additional pressures to meet the rigid timelines while not overshooting the budgetary allocations.
