How to organise a level 2 home sleep study via your local community pharmacy

Updated over 4 months ago

If, during your health assessment with KINNECT, we identify any risk factors suggesting the presence of a sleep disorder such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), you will be asked to undergo a home sleep study for a more in-depth investigation. Thankfully, arranging these studies has become incredibly convenient, as they can now be effortlessly scheduled through your local community pharmacy.

What Are Level 2 Home Sleep Studies?

Level 2 home sleep studies are a valuable tool in diagnosing sleep disorders, especially obstructive sleep disorders. They are designed to monitor your sleep patterns and gather essential data to assess the quality of your sleep.

Affordable and Accessible

One of the standout features of Level 2 home sleep studies is their convenience. Gone are the days of traveling to a sleep clinic or hospital for an overnight sleep study. Now, you can do it from the comfort of your own home.

Level 2 sleep studies are now quite affordable, making it accessible to many people who might be concerned about the expenses associated with traditional sleep studies.

No Need for Referral or Specialist Review

Here's the best part: you don't require a referral from a medical practitioner, nor do you need to schedule a review with a sleep physician to get started with a Level 2 home sleep study.

Initial Investigation Made Easy

Level 2 home sleep studies are ideal for the initial investigation of sleep issues. They are especially helpful in confirming whether a candidate or employee has an obstructive sleep disorder, such as OSA. Identifying these conditions early can lead to more effective treatment and improved overall health.

How Does It Work?

1. Visit Your Local Community Pharmacy: Simply walk into your local community pharmacy and enquire about Level 2 home sleep studies. They will guide you through the process.

2. Receive the Equipment: You'll be provided with a compact device that you wear during your normal sleep hours.

3. Sleep in the Comfort of Your Home: Go about your bedtime routine as usual, wearing the monitoring device.

4. Return the Device: The next day, return the device to the pharmacy.

5. Analysis and Results: The collected data will be analysed by sleep specialists to provide you with valuable insights into your sleep patterns. This may take up to 5-10 business days to be returned to you.
