Description:

SnoreLab is an application for mobile devices which measures the volume of noise generated by snoring while the patient sleeps.

Results:

The graph below depicts how the NED device performed in reducing the volume of snoring for one of the company founders. The first three hours were measured while sleeping with the device, and the following three hours were measured without it. The first three hours show much less sound measured than the subsequent three hours of sleep without the NED device.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

Snorelab is able to measure how effectively snoring is reduced in patients by measuring the volume of snoring while the patient sleeps with and without the NED device.

The app is cheap and easily accessible.

Cons:

The founders of NED LLC wish to monitor pressure changes caused by the insertion of the NED device which is not measured by this method

Exact volumes are not reported by exact units such as decibels, but rather in qualitative labels such as "quiet" or "loud".
