Live Remotely Attended Sleep Studies
at Sleep 2009
July 10th, 2009 by Amanda Kulwicki
CleveMed’s DreamPort™ was recently launched at Sleep 2009 in Seattle, WA:
DreamPort expands the reach of your sleep lab by allowing remotely attended sleep studies to be done from anywhere using a bedside system controlled by sleep lab technologists miles away - over the internet!
CleveMed showcased this innovative product with a Live Remotely Attended Sleep Study! A patient located in Cleveland, Ohio was hooked up to a Sapphire PSG™ which wirelessly transmitted the real time data to the DreamPort located in the patient’s room. Using the camera and broadband technology that the DreamPort provides, the patient’s full PSG data was viewed live by sleep technicians in Seattle, Washington at Sleep 2009!
DreamPort Benefits:
DreamPort is especially ideal for those who are unable to make it into the sleep lab, such as pediatric patients, cross country truckers, the elderly, those with chronic pain and hospital inpatients. In addition, this system gives clinicians and researchers greater flexibility to conduct sleep studies in anyplace. DreamPort is suitable for clinical trials as it allows for cost effective research studies to be conducted in the patient’s home while adding an additional element of home care. Moreover, DreamPort is easy to use. The small, portable and single-button design simplifies the overall process and deployment.
DreamPort’s Easy Process:
Step 1: Patient is hooked up with Sapphire PSG
Step 2: Patient pushes power button on DreamPort
Step 3: Sleep tech remotely starts study from sleep lab
Step 4: Sleep tech controls video and full PSG data remotely
Broadband technology combined with a camera is used to transmit the patient’s full PSG data and video to technologists in real-time, allowing studies to be conducted anywhere the patient is.
