Procedure goal
High-quality sleep is a guarantee of health, well-being, and personal effectiveness of each person. During sleep, the body is restored hormonally and physically, and emotional stress is reduced. Any impairments should be investigated. For this, we at X-Clinic perform computer somnography.
The service consists of two parts:
- diagnostic: recording of your sleep using the Watch PAT 200 device. The system records your sleep of one night. You sleep as usual, the device is put on like a wristband, a highly sensitive sensor is placed on the index finger, and a small snoring and body position sensor is attached to the chest.
- consultations with a doctor, a sleep disorder specialist.
This is a method for diagnosing sleep disorders based on a unique technology based on measuring the tone of blood vessels in the phalanx of a finger using a sensor and an intricate software algorithm. Operation of Watch PAT is based on a one-of-a-kind technique titled PAT (Peripheral Arterial Tone).
Interpretation of these data helps identify and assess the true sleep time, adequacy of sleep phases, and the number of awakenings; presence and intensity of snoring; obstructive sleep apnea syndrome; decrease in saturation (oxygen supply to the body); assess the severity of hypoxia. Moreover, the doctor can see in which position these disorders are more pronounced. Based on the data received, the doctor develops a recovery program; if necessary, selects a treatment program.
Indications
- snoring, stopping breathing during sleep
- daytime sleepiness
- insomnia
- difficulty of falling asleep

Sleep disorders are also closely associated with weight gain and metabolic syndrome; diseases of the cardiovascular system, including arterial hypertension, hormonal disorders in men and women. The brain recovers primarily during sleep. Lack of sleep reduces performance, often accompanied by a decrease in attention and memory.
