European Sleep Diagnostics and Associated Data Management Systems
Frost & Sullivan, Nov 2006, Pages: 121
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled European Markets for Sleep Diagnostics and its Data Management Systems provides an overview of market dynamics, key drivers and restraints. It includes an analysis of market trends in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Benelux and Scandinavia. In this research, expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets: fixed polysomnograph, portable polysomnograph, high-end screeners, actigraphs and data management systems.
Technologies
The following technologies are covered in this research:
Fixed Polysomnograph: This refers to stationary, full-channel polysomnographs that are used for in-lab overnight studies and research-purpose highly sophisticated polysomnographs (PSGs) with advanced features. These include monitoring of the patient's respiration, heart rhythm, electrophysiological signals and movement which is graphically recorded during sleep and the sleep quality is determined on the basis of the sleep structure.
Portable Polysomnograph: This includes all full and partial channel portable polysomnographs that make a recording of minimum seven parameters, including EEG, EOG, chin EMG, ECG, airflow, respiratory effort and oxygen saturation. They may not necessarily have all the 16 channels on a standard PSG. Portable PSGs may be attended or unattended depending on the type of device.
High-end Screeners: These refer to ambulatory, high-end screeners excluding EEG measurement, but including breathing parameters and are technically termed respiratory polygraphs.
Actigraphs: Actigraphs have been used to study sleep/wake patterns for over 25 years. They are slowly becoming the unexampled standard for unbiased evaluation of sleep for the diagnosis of sleep-related disorders .The advantage of actigraphy over traditional PSG is that actigraphy devices can conveniently record continuously for 24 hours a day for days, weeks or even longer. The actigraph is a very simple, easy-to-use and inexpensive product for assessing specific sleep disorders.
Data Management Systems: Data management systems used at sleep centres offer benefits such as patient-centric operations, reinforced workflow, advanced lab scheduling, access to all patient data, reports and associated documents and automatic management of diagnostic studies, among others.
