ReactDx Sleep

Poorly developed test. AI is your medical professional. Gave a bonus star for trying something to improve patient care. This is supposed to work by utilizing your internet and phone microphone along with a finger vitals monitor to provide a valid sleep apnea diagnostic. It doesn’t work well and you should question its results. Operationally it’s relatively easy to use. They mail it to you with almost no discussion of how to use (directions are in the box). Turn on monitor and connect to your with Bluetooth. Turn on app and pressed record and approve it listening to you. It tries to match sound events such as snoring or stopping breathing that with vital events to say breathing stops X amount of occurrences for Y durations of time. An AI analyses the events. Too good to be true in this case. It specifically warns you not to have fans or white noise. Sounds like an AC kicking on or turning off would register as incidents. You should sleep alone for this. You should have the phone charging, pointed at your face, and right next to your face. A lot of environmental circumstances that aren’t accounted for or even controllable affect the results. There can’t be resolved because an AI can’t discern sound. No one listens to the recording— it’s just events. Beyond that, the issues I experienced, judging from other reviews, are common. Failed to upload. Recording literally disappeared and there was no way to restore it or try uploading it again. Try again. While you receive automated threatening text messages about returning the device you’ve had for two days. App is surprisingly invasive. It needs Bluetooth, WiFi, and access to your microphone. It can’t be that much more expensive to include a mic and an SD card if it is already this flimsy. I like the idea of using already available tools to cheaply and quickly do things, but given this is a medical diagnostic, I think quality and efficacy in real environments should be taken into account.

Tried using for two nights and both times there were problems uploading the data. Did several searches online and found no solutions. Came here to see reviews and noticed others have the same issue with uploading after sleep. So I’m packing up everything and sending back right away. Disappointed.
