The Problem
Sleep apnea affects approximately 936 million adults globally, and in South Africa its prevalence is estimated at 22.8% of the adult population. Diagnosing sleep apnoea is currently a costly and disruptive process for both the health system and the affected person, leading to a low rate of diagnosis and treatment.
