About
Onera Health is revolutionizing sleep diagnostics with the Onera Sleep Test System (STS) — the first self-applied, no-wire Polysomnography solution that delivers gold-standard clinical PSG quality outside the traditional sleep lab. The wearable patch-based sensor captures all signals required for a full PSG study, including cardiovascular, respiratory, and brain function data, with a setup time averaging under five minutes. The platform operates as a PSG-as-a-service model: clinicians initiate a study request through the Onera Digital Health Platform, patients self-apply the sensor at home overnight, and data is automatically uploaded, processed, and analyzed in the cloud. The resulting EDF-format reports are compatible with commonly used sleep analysis software, making integration into existing clinical workflows seamless. Designed for minimal sleep disturbance during recording, Onera STS addresses the 1-in-5 people who struggle with sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, insomnia, and narcolepsy. It eliminates traditional barriers — inconvenience, high cost, and intimidating lab environments — by bringing clinical-grade diagnostics directly to patients' beds. The fixed-fee-per-study pricing model gives healthcare providers full cost control with no capital expenditure. Onera Health serves sleep clinicians, hospitals, sleep labs, and patients seeking accessible, accurate sleep disorder diagnosis and monitoring.
Key Features
- Self-Applied, No-Wire PSG Sensor: The Onera STS patch captures all Polysomnography signals (cardiovascular, respiratory, brain) without wires, enabling patient self-application at home in under five minutes.
- Cloud-Based Digital Health Platform: Clinicians initiate, monitor, and receive reports through the Onera Digital Health Platform, with automated data processing and analysis in the cloud.
- EDF File Delivery & Software Compatibility: Processed sleep studies are delivered as EDF files compatible with leading sleep analysis software, integrating smoothly into existing clinical workflows.
- PSG-as-a-Service Pricing: Fixed fee per study with no upfront hardware investment gives healthcare providers full cost control and scalable access to clinical PSG capabilities.
- Multi-Setting Deployment: Supports sleep studies in hospitals, accredited sleep labs, and patients' homes, expanding access to diagnostics without sacrificing data quality.
Use Cases
- Sleep clinics offering home-based PSG studies to patients who cannot easily visit a lab due to mobility, distance, or anxiety.
- Hospitals integrating no-wire PSG monitoring for inpatients and outpatients within a unified digital health platform.
- Research institutions conducting multi-site sleep disorder studies requiring standardized, clinical-grade PSG data collection.
- Healthcare providers seeking to scale sleep diagnostic services without capital investment in traditional PSG hardware.
- Clinicians managing chronic sleep disorder patients who need periodic monitoring beyond a single diagnostic sleep study.
Pros
- Gold-Standard Diagnostics at Home: Delivers full PSG-quality data without requiring patients to visit a sleep lab, dramatically improving accessibility and patient comfort.
- Minimal Setup Time: Average setup under five minutes and a wire-free design reduce burden on both clinical staff and patients.
- No Capital Expenditure Required: The per-study fixed-fee model eliminates upfront hardware costs, making enterprise-grade sleep diagnostics accessible to smaller clinics.
- End-to-End Workflow Integration: From study initiation to EDF report delivery, the platform manages the full diagnostic pipeline with minimal manual intervention.
Cons
- Geographic Limitations on Analysis & Reporting: Automated analysis and reporting features are only available in selected geographies, limiting full functionality for some international users.
- Requires Clinician Oversight: The system is designed for clinical use and requires a licensed clinician to initiate studies and interpret results — not suitable for direct-to-consumer self-diagnosis.
- Connectivity Dependency: Cloud-based data upload and processing requires reliable internet connectivity, which may be a barrier in rural or low-connectivity patient settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Polysomnography (PSG) and why does Onera offer it at home?
Polysomnography is the gold-standard clinical test for diagnosing sleep disorders, measuring brain activity, breathing, heart rate, and more. Onera brings PSG home to remove barriers like travel, cost, and lab anxiety that prevent patients from getting tested.
How does a patient use the Onera Sleep Test System?
A clinician initiates the study via the Onera Digital Health Platform and the patient receives the STS sensor. The patient self-applies the wireless patch at bedtime, sleeps normally overnight, and the device automatically records all required PSG signals for upload and analysis.
Is the Onera STS data compatible with existing sleep analysis software?
Yes. Onera delivers processed study data as EDF (European Data Format) files, which are compatible with most commonly used clinical sleep analysis software platforms.
What is the pricing model for Onera Health?
Onera operates on a PSG-as-a-service model with a fixed fee per study. There is no upfront capital investment required, giving healthcare providers complete cost control and predictable expenses.
Which sleep disorders can be diagnosed using the Onera platform?
The Onera STS supports the diagnosis of a broad range of sleep disorders including sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, and other conditions requiring full polysomnographic evaluation of cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurological signals.
