Take the GEM SLEEP Quiz

Start the free quiz.
Create an Account
Next, you create a secure patient portal account so we can recommend the right treatment for your diagnosis and track your treatment and progress. Setting up your patient portal account also allows you to easily order supplies and connect with your sleep coach.
Order an At-home Sleep Test
GEM SLEEP offers a sleep test that you can take at home, in your own bed, in just one night.
The WatchPAT One E home sleep test includes a device worn on your wrist with sophisticated sensors that provide a comprehensive sleep report.
Before purchasing a home sleep test, patients have a Sleep Intake Visit to:
- Review symptoms
- Review quiz results
- Provide a referral for a home sleep test (required for insurance coverage)
Purchase of our Home Sleep Test includes:
- Equipment
- Testing
- Clinical review
After completing the home sleep test, patients schedule a Results and Treatment Plan Visit to:
- Review your sleep study results
- Understand whether you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea
- Go over your personalized treatment plan and next steps
- Get answers to your questions
The GEM SLEEP home sleep test and services are in-network with many insurance plans and are HSA/FSA eligible.
Get Results and Treatment Options
After completing your home sleep test, you will meet with one of GEM’s expert clinicians during a Results and Treatment Plan telehealth Visit to talk through your results and personalized treatment plan.
If your results indicate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), GEM SLEEP makes it easy to order an auto-adjusting Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine or get a referral to a dental clinic.
Getting started with treatment is easy with your GEM SLEEP account.
Use the Personal Coaching Program
Starting treatment can feel like a big change. GEM SLEEP coaches are always here for you to offer support, encouragement and advice, from initial diagnosis to long-term management. You are assigned a coach who can provide real-time insights into your progress, as well as tips on incorporating treatment into your life for maximum comfort and health benefits.
