Track your snoring with breathing pauses which are caused by sleep apnea
SnoreTracker: snoring with breathing pauses may be hazardous to your health! Snoring pauses are caused by sleep apnea. SnoreTracker algorithms are validated in 200 sleep apnea patients.
Sleep apnea is a known riskfactor for several diseases and medical conditions. Snoring with breathing pauses is also a riskfactor for stroke and neurological conditions. SnoreTracker is developed and validated in a study of apnea patients to detect snoring with pauses. If snoring is only when sleeping on the back (supine), it may be stopped using positional therapy. SnoreTracker may be used to give smart position therapy and to follow the effect of treatments.
