Finally, a sleep apnea test that works around you — not the other way around.
The WatchPAT® is a Health Canada approved Home Sleep Apnea Test (HSAT) that brings clinical-grade accuracy straight to your bedroom.
Powered by innovative technology, it detects sleep apnea with the reliability you'd expect from a lab — minus the hassle of ever having to go to one.
Most diagnostic devices are complicated, uncomfortable, and disruptive. WatchPAT® was built differently. Its simple, non-invasive design means you can test in your own bed, in your own environment, getting the kind of natural sleep that actually reflects your real habits. Better sleep during the test means better, more meaningful results.
Getting started takes less than a minute — just 3 simple steps:
- 🫁 Attach the chest sensor
- ⌚ Strap the WatchPAT® bracelet to your non-dominant wrist
- 👆 Slip on the finger probe
That's it. Then just go to sleep like you normally would.
With only 3 points of contact, WatchPAT® is one of the easiest and most comfortable sleep study devices available — so you get accurate answers without sacrificing a good night's rest.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need a doctor's referral or prescription to order the WatchPAT?
Do I need a doctor's referral or prescription to order the WatchPAT?
No referral or prescription is required to purchase the WatchPAT. You can order directly from CPAP Superstore and take the test on your own timeline. Once your results are reviewed by a licensed sleep physician, you'll receive a formal report and sent to your email address.
Will my insurance cover the cost of the WatchPAT?
Will my insurance cover the cost of the WatchPAT?
Some private insurance and extended health benefit plans do cover the cost of a home sleep test — but coverage varies by provider and plan. We recommend checking with your insurer before or after purchase to find out if you're eligible for reimbursement. We can provide an official receipt to submit with your claim.
Note for Ontario residents: The WatchPAT ONE is a Level 3 home sleep test and does not qualify for the Ontario Assistive Devices Program (ADP) rebate. To be eligible for ADP funding toward a CPAP device, a Level 1 in-lab sleep study is required. If ADP coverage is important to you, please speak with your family physician before ordering.
What is your return policy?

Is testing for one night enough to give an accurate reading on my sleep apnea?
Is testing for one night enough to give an accurate reading on my sleep apnea?
Yes, one night of testing with the WatchPAT ONE is designed to be sufficient for most Canadians — it calculates AHI and RDI based on your true sleep time rather than total recording time, reducing the risk of a sleep apnea misdiagnosis by up to 20% compared to other home sleep tests that may require multiple nights for an accurate picture.
What if I don't get a full night's sleep during the test?
What if I don't get a full night's sleep during the test?
The WatchPAT ONE only needs a minimum of 90 minutes of actual sleep to generate a report, so even if you have a restless night, your results can still be captured — just sleep as long as you comfortably can while wearing the device for the most complete picture of your sleep health.

Preparing For Your First Night of Testing
Before you begin, download the WatchPAT ONE app from the App Store or Google Play and have your PIN ready — it's the last 4 digits of the phone number you used when placing your order. When you're ready to start, watch the setup video (above) on our support page, which walks you through everything in under 5 minutes.
Setting up the device takes just three steps: strap the WatchPAT to your non-dominant wrist like a watch, slip the finger probe onto your index finger, and attach the chest sensor. Once everything is in place, open the app and follow the in-app prompts — it'll guide you through each step and confirm you're ready to go.
A few things to take care of before bed for the most accurate results:
- Remove any nail polish from your probe finger, as dark, gel, or acrylic polish can interfere with the oxygen sensor.
- Keep your phone plugged in overnight with the app open, since a dead or disconnected phone means your data won't transmit.
- Move away from electronics like smart TVs, Wi-Fi boosters, and baby monitors, which can disrupt the Bluetooth signal.
- Sleep alone if you can, and avoid alcohol or sedatives before the test, as these can affect your results.
