How to Use the SleepImage App & Device
*All patients have 5 days to attempt 2 nights of testing. A minimum of 4–6 hours of recording on 1 successful night is required.
1. Download the SleepImage App
Sleeptest.com emails your Patient ID and links to download the SleepImage App from either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. Click on the install button to download the application. (If you cannot find the email, check your spam/junk folder.)
2. Prepare your SleepImage Device
The device should arrive fully charged. Ensure your SleepImage device is fully charged before each night of testing with the provided cable. A full charge will take about 90 minutes.
3. Set Your Device Up With the App
Once you have it installed, launch the SleepImage App, accept the End User License Agreement (EULA), and set up your patient account. You may choose to sign in using email, Google, or Apple. For the email option, SleepImage will send you a 6-digit verification code. Enter this code in the App to complete the sign-up process.
Once you have signed up, you will be asked to enter your name, Patient ID, and Date of Birth (DOB).
You will be prompted to provide the App permission to find nearby Bluetooth devices. This permission is needed to connect to a SleepImage-compatible recording device.
Click “Search for Recorders” to begin searching for your recording device.
Match the four digits that you see in the App with the last four digits of the serial number on the side of your SleepImage device.
Tap the corresponding entry in the App to connect your device.
When you are ready to go to sleep, it is recommended to wear the SleepImage Ring on the thumb or index finger of your left hand.
If you have other Bluetooth devices connected to your phone/tablet, disconnect them before starting the study to maximize connection stability.
4. Start Your Sleep Study
Open the SleepImage App and tap the “Start” button to start your sleep study. Keep your mobile device nearby, such as on a bedside table. Now you are ready to go to sleep.
If you need to get up during the night (for example, to use the restroom), you may temporarily remove your SleepImage device from your finger, but do not stop your sleep study in the App.
5. Complete Your Sleep Study
When you wake up, open the App and tap the “Stop” button to stop your sleep study. The App will then upload and send your study to SleepTest.com.
Do not remove the device from your finger until you have stopped your sleep study.
6. Check Upload Status in History
Check the upload status in the History tab of the App. Once you see the “Uploaded” status underneath your most recent study entry, you may close the App. All patients have 5 days to attempt 2 nights of testing. A minimum of 4–6 hours of recording on 1 successful night is required.
Uploading your study requires an Internet connection. Please ensure that Wi-Fi or cellular data is turned on. All patients have 5 days to attempt 2 nights of testing. A minimum of 4–6 hours of recording on 1 successful night is required.

If you still can’t find the app, the most likely reason is an incompatible Android or iOS version. In this case, please try a different mobile device (phone or tablet), if one is available in the household. See detailed instructions from SleepTest.com HERE.

After pressing the button with the magnifying glass icon, place the ring on your finger to "wake up" the device, and wait at least 60 seconds.
