How is an ARES report generated?
The ARES Insight software analyzes data acquired by the Unicorder and ARES Questionnaire responses. The software applies pattern recognition algorithms to quantify obstructive respiratory events (i.e., apneas and hypopneas) with the option for manual editing of all events detected or missed by the ARES algorithms. ARES Insight makes its overall risk assessment based on the occurrence and duration of abnormal respiratory events, and based on the patient’s responses to the ARES Questionnaire. The ARES diagnostic report then summarizes the automated and edited events, calculates the ARES-Respiratory Disturbance Index (ARES-RDI) and hypoxemia statistics, and presents the OSA risk level based on ARES Questionnaire responses. All ARES records are subject to periodic quality control checks and/or to inspection by a sleep specialist if required.
