Fatigue and Sleep Management

Concerned about sleep disorders? We offer comprehensive sleeptesting, diagnosis, and treatment solutions.

1. Sleep Testing

Our disposable home sleep test quickly assesses your sleep health, identifying potential sleep apnea.​

  • Simple and convenient overnight home-based test

  • Measures blood oxygen levels, nasal airflow, and breathing patterns

  • Identifies sleep issues and those needing CPAP treatment

  • Provides personalised treatment plan

2. Sleep disorder and fatigue assessment

A more detailed sleep and fatigue assessment is used to evaluate a person's sleep patterns, sleep quality and quantity, as well as levels of fatigue. The overall goal of the assessment is to identify any issues related to sleep quality or excessive daytime fatigue, determine potential causes, and provide appropriate recommendations or interventions to improve sleep and overall well-being.​

  • One-hour phone or online consultation

  • Evaluates sleep patterns, quality, and quantity

  • Assesses fatigue levels and impact

  • Identifies potential sleep disorders and causes

  • Takes into account lifestyle, medical history and sleep environment

  • Provides personalized recommendations for improved sleep and well-being

3. CPAP treatment and reporting

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. This happens when your airway narrows or completely closes, briefly waking you up to reopen it. We provide comprehensive care for OSA, including screening, assessment, diagnosis, and tailored treatment plans.
We work alongside NZ Sleep to conduct a four week trial and at the end produce a compliance report and recommendations going forward.

​

How it works

  • Four week trial

  • A CPAP machine is provided to the employee

  • Employee education on trial and CPAP use

  • Daily compliance monitoring reviewed by our sleep expert

  • Compliance report and personalised programme delivered to employee and business at completion

4. Pre-employment sleep apnea screening

Our pre-employment sleep apnea screening assessment, is used to gauge an individual's risk of having obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

  • One-hour phone or online consultation

  • Assesses your risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

  • Uses a questionnaire to identify potential OSA symptoms and risk factors

  • Determines the likelihood of moderate to severe sleep apnea
