SleepNavigator provides a cloud‑based platform that centralizes the workflow for polysomnography and home sleep apnea tests. It enables clinics to upload raw study files, generate standardized reports, and sync results with EHRs via HL7/FHIR, while offering patients a secure portal for results and appointment scheduling. The system includes HIPAA‑encrypted storage, role‑based access, and automated scheduling and reminder tools to reduce administrative overhead.

Problem
Sleep disorder diagnosis often requires coordinating multiple overnight studies, exchanging large polysomnography files, and aligning appointment schedules between clinics and patients. Existing workflows rely on disparate email threads, faxed reports, and manual data entry, leading to delays, data security concerns, and missed follow‑up opportunities.
Solution
SleepNavigator offers a cloud‑based platform that centralizes the end‑to‑end workflow for sleep studies. Providers can upload raw study data, generate standardized reports, and share results with patients through a secure, role‑based portal. Integrated scheduling tools automate appointment booking, reminder notifications, and resource allocation for sleep labs. The system enforces HIPAA‑compliant encryption at rest and in transit, while supporting HL7/FHIR interfaces for seamless electronic health record (EHR) integration. Patients access their own study results, receive personalized care instructions, and can request follow‑up appointments without leaving the portal. Real‑time dashboards give clinicians visibility into study status, pending reviews, and compliance metrics, reducing administrative overhead and accelerating treatment decisions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are sleep centers, pulmonology and neurology practices, and hospital sleep labs that conduct polysomnography and home sleep apnea testing, as well as the patients they serve who need timely access to their study results and follow‑up care.
