SLEEP APNEA DIAGNOSIS IN DUBAI

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Two ways to diagnose OSA:
one significantly better than the other

Traditional polysomnography (PSG)

The Metabolic edge: AI-powered robotic ultrasound

Method

Overnight sleep study with multiple sensors in a lab

Robotic ultrasound with AI-based analysis

Setting

Sleep laboratory / hospital

Outpatient / clinical setting

Time Required

Overnight (6–10 hours)

Short session (minutes to under an hour)

Patient Comfort

Uncomfortable (wires, monitored sleep)

Non-invasive and comfortable

Invasiveness

Semi-invasive (multiple attachments, sleep disruption)

Completely non-invasive

Results Turnaround

Delayed (analysis required post-study)

Fast, near-immediate results

Cost

High (often thousands of dollars)

Lower overall cost pathway

Insurance Coverage

Often not covered or partially covered

Insurance-friendly (covered alongside cardiac / metabolic workups)

How it works

Step 1: Screening questionnaire

All Metabolic patients take an OSA screening questionnaire to assess the level of OSA risk.

All Metabolic patients take an OSA screening questionnaire to assess the level of OSA risk.

Step 2: AI-powered diagnosis

Moderate and high-risk patients undergo robotic ultrasound diagnosis.

Step 3: Cardiac assessment

If you are diagnosed with OSA, you will meet with our cardiologist who will assess your heart health via ECG, echocardiograms and enzyme screening (if not done so) to rule out certain cardiac conditions.

Step 4: Quarterly monitoring

We assess your numbers every quarter and monitor your continued progress.

Why we address OSA through a metabolic lens

It is closely linked with obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease — conditions that don’t exist in isolation. Excess weight increases airway collapse during sleep, while fragmented sleep worsens insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance, and fat storage, creating a self-reinforcing cycle.

That’s why we treat OSA as part of a broader metabolic system, not a standalone condition.
