The US government is buying home sleep apnea tests for veterans

The US government just awarded a contract to buy home sleep apnea testing devices. This means veterans can get tested for sleep apnea at home instead of in a clinic.

Sleep apnea is a common condition, but getting diagnosed often requires an overnight stay in a sleep lab. This is expensive and inconvenient. Buying home testing devices makes diagnosis much easier and cheaper, especially for a large population like veterans.
