ABSTRACT
Sleep disorders have a high prevalence around 20% of insomniacs, 10% hypersomnolent including 2 to 4% of sleep disordered breathing in the general adult population. The low availability of sleep centres implies the research of alternative recording techniques in the natural setting of the patient. The objective was to evaluate an ambulatory recorder and its integration in a managed healthcare network. Fifteen patients had a full set-up at home and ten patients were hooked-up in the hospital but recorded at home. Technical failures occurred in 2/15 with full polysomnographic recordings. Integration within an experimental sleep network is in progress. This managed care network will include training of general practitioners, teletransmissions between GP and sleep specialists for a graded use of available resources including ambulatory monitoring.
