Research and Markets: 2013 Report on the International Sleep Apnea Diagnostic and Therapeutic Devices Market


DUBLIN --(Business Wire)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vq4ntk/global_sleep) has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the International Sleep Apnea Diagnostic and Therapeutic Devices Market" report to their offering.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: There has been an increase in the adoption of home sleep testing devices due to the increasing inclination of patients to be tested at home for convenience reasons and to prevent the patients from experiencing the unfamiliar environment of a sleep lab for sleep apnea diagnosis. Home diagnostics devices provide accurate results for people suffering from moderate-to-severe apnea.

Home testing is also considered less obtrusive as it allows the test to be done in familiar surroundings and in the patient's own bed. It is als more advantageous to the home-bound, aged, those suffering from a chronic illness, and those who require specialized care by a family member. In addition, the home testing devices for sleep apnea are also cost-effective when compared with the cost of an in-lab sleep study. Therefore, this emerging trend can have a positive impact on the growth of the market.



According to the report, one of the main drivers of this market is the high prevalence of sleep apnea disorders across the globe in adults and children, and the associated conditions such as hypertension, stroke, Type II diabetes or adult onset diabetes, weight gain, impotence, and cardiovascular diseases.
