Nonin launches platform to manage overnight oximetry testing

PLYMOUTH, Minn. – Nonin Medical has launched the Nonin Health platform, a cloud-based system to support clinicians, home care providers, independent diagnostic testing organizations (IDTFs), sleep dentists and sleep physicians in managing overnight oximetry testing. The platform also helps them with follow-up care by accelerating the provision of supplemental oxygen for patients with chronic respiratory conditions and facilitating oral sleep appliance titration, the company says. “Many home care providers, respiratory care clinicians and sleep specialists rely on overnight oximetry testing to assess the need for oxygen therapy or evaluate the effectiveness of sleep therapy,” says John Hastings, CEO at Nonin Medical. “However, this process often involves multiple manual steps, including shipping devices, retrieving and manually uploading data via USB, potential re-testing and coordinating follow-up care. All of these tasks delay clinical decision-making and increase the workload for non-reimbursed services.” The mobile app-based platform allows patients to run and complete overnight oximetry tests prescribed by their health care providers using Android or iOS devices. It connects to Nonin’s WristOx2 Model 3150 via Bluetooth, allowing users to sleep normally while the oximeter works in the background, measuring SpO2 levels. Clinicians have immediate remote access to study results via a secure web portal upon completion of the overnight test. The platform is currently available exclusively in the United States.
