The Role Of Smartphone Apps In Treatment Of Snoring And Sleep Apnea
Sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and loud and persistent snoring are a common problem among many people. In sleep apnea, a person’s breathing stops and starts when he or she is sleeping. This can disrupt a person’s quality of sleep and cause a number of adverse health issues. Snoring is noisy breathing that occurs as a result of a deviated nasal septum, tonsils, blocked nose, and so on.
Both snoring and sleep apnea can affect the quality of a person’s life. They can cause extreme tiredness and fatigue in the morning, which in turn has an impact on a person’s work and social life. Experiencing inadequate sleep due to sleep apnea and snoring can also lead to drowsiness during the daytime, and increase the chance of road accidents if a person falls asleep behind the wheel.
Before the rise of the internet and technology, the only way patients could be treated for sleep disorders was to stay awake the entire night and then go to a sleep clinic the day after where their quality of sleep would be analyzed and a diagnosis can be given.
Today, innovations in modern technology have made it possible to detect one’s quality of sleep through many different apps that you can easily obtain on a smartphone.
We have entered an era where virtually everything can be tracked using smartphone apps and electronic wearables. One can track their heartbeat, the number of steps taken, amount of calorie intake, and a number of other things with the help of the numerous apps available on the market.
So, it is only natural that we can use smartphone apps to help treat conditions like sleep apnea and snoring.
How Do Smartphone Apps Help You With Sleep Disorders?
There are a number of very unique smartphone apps on both iOS and Android devices. These apps have features that can track variations in a person’s sleep. For instance, an app called the ApneaApp sends out sound waves that are inaudible. These sound waves are reflected by our bodies. As the sound waves bounce back, they record a number of parameters such as body movements, breathing rhythm, and more.
Based on these parameters, the app gives readings that are taken into account during treatment.
There are a number of sleep trackers that can track the different cycles of sleep. If patients wake up in the middle of their sleep cycle, they can simply log in when they get up and what time they went back to bed. The sleep tracking app can help provide enough data to indicate whether or not a person is experiencing similar symptoms to those who are suffering from sleep disorders.
This app can save a lot of time and effort involved with scheduling tests and many of the apps available can provide results with up to 90 percent accuracy. You can choose from a range of apps and check for features that suit you best.

CPAP/APAP
HOW DO I USE A CPAP?
Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) is considered by many the gold standard for the treatment of sleep apnea, especially for very severe cases. The CPAP and APAP machines are designed to increase air pressure going through the throat. This prevents the airway from collapsing during inhalation. At Snore Experts, we have helped countless patients get a good night’s rest using CPAP treatments to treat their sleep apnea. The goal of positive airway pressure is to keep the airway from collapsing using air pressure.
