What Can Element Offer You For Sleep Monitoring Device Validation?

Products we test

At Element, we validate all critical monitoring parameters for sleep disorder diagnosis including blood oxygen levels, respiratory rate, heart rate, eye movement, body movement, and brain activity. Our testing validates your device's ability to accurately measure and record these essential parameters throughout the sleep study duration.

Key tests offered

We validate devices across essential sleep monitoring parameters during overnight studies. Our comprehensive testing covers blood oxygen, respiratory rate, heart rate, eye movement, body movement, and brain activity measurements. Each study provides 4-6 hours of continuous sleep data collection in controlled laboratory conditions.

Methods and solutions offered

Customized Participant Recruitment:
Element recruits participants based on the product’s intended claims. For devices diagnosing sleep apnea, we test both individuals with and without the condition, leveraging our extensive database of several thousand participants.

Controlled Sleep Study Setup:
Participants are monitored overnight in a controlled lab setting, wearing various devices to collect 4-6 hours of continuous sleep data.
During a sleep study, patients are connected to a variety of monitors to measure indicators such as blood oxygen, respiratory rate, heart rate, eye movement, body movement, and brain activity. A board-certified physician will then evaluate the data, including sleep stages, and make a diagnosis.

Expert Analysis and Reporting:
Once data is collected, Element’s certified sleep medicine physicians analyze it and provide a final report ready for regulatory submission. For development studies, only raw data is provided to the sponsor.
