Itamar Medical[edit | edit source]
Itamar Medical is a medical technology company that specializes in the development and commercialization of non-invasive medical devices for the diagnosis of sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. The company is known for its innovative use of peripheral arterial tone (PAT) technology, which is utilized in its flagship product, the WatchPAT device.
History[edit | edit source]
Itamar Medical was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Caesarea, Israel. The company was established with the goal of developing advanced medical devices that leverage PAT technology to provide accurate and reliable diagnostic solutions for sleep-related breathing disorders.
Technology[edit | edit source]
The core technology behind Itamar Medical's products is the measurement of peripheral arterial tone, which is a physiological signal that reflects changes in the autonomic nervous system. This technology is used in the WatchPAT device, a portable diagnostic tool that patients can use at home to monitor their sleep patterns and detect sleep apnea.
WatchPAT Device[edit | edit source]
The WatchPAT device is a wrist-worn diagnostic tool that measures various physiological parameters, including PAT, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and actigraphy. It provides a comprehensive analysis of sleep architecture and identifies episodes of sleep apnea, allowing for accurate diagnosis and management of the condition.

Itamar Medical offers a range of products designed to improve the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders:
- WatchPAT: A home sleep apnea test (HSAT) device that uses PAT technology to diagnose sleep apnea.
- EndoPAT: A device used to assess endothelial function and cardiovascular health.
Applications[edit | edit source]
The devices developed by Itamar Medical are used in various clinical settings, including:
- Sleep medicine clinics
- Cardiology practices
- Primary care settings
These devices help healthcare providers diagnose sleep apnea and related conditions, enabling timely intervention and management.
