Obstructive sleep apnoea remains significantly under-diagnosed across the region, in part because traditional in-lab polysomnography is resource-intensive and often carries long waiting lists. WatchPAT by ZOLL Itamar changes that equation — a compact, wrist-worn device that lets patients complete a full diagnostic sleep study at home, then returns automated, physician-ready reports.
At the heart of the system is the proprietary Peripheral Arterial Tone (PAT) signal, a well-studied physiological marker that tracks the autonomic response to respiratory events. Combined with actigraphy, oximetry and body-position sensing, WatchPAT reconstructs the full picture of a night's sleep — including true sleep time and sleep staging — without the complexity of a lab setup.
Why clinicians are adopting it
- Simple single-use and reusable options to suit any patient volume
- Measures true sleep time and REM sleep, not just time in bed
- Automated AHI, RDI and ODI scoring with cloud-based reporting
- High patient acceptance thanks to a minimal, comfortable wearable
A complete home-testing pathway
The range includes the reusable WatchPAT platform for high-throughput clinics and the fully disposable WatchPAT ONE for zero-touch, hygienic testing where device return is impractical. Study data is uploaded automatically to a secure cloud portal, where physicians review and finalise reports from any device.
Through Medworks, GCC sleep centres, pulmonology departments and ENT practices can now offer faster diagnosis, shorter waiting times and a better patient experience — backed by regional training, logistics and technical support from our team.
