This Palm application helps patients
monitor their level of sleepiness. A large proportion of adults who present to
sleep disorder centers have disorders associated with excessive daytime
sleepiness. Excessive daytime sleepiness is a sign of an underlying medical
condition, typically a sleep disorder. These include obstructive sleep apnea
syndrome, periodic limb movement disorder (restless leg), Narcolepsy,
Idiopathic Hypersomnia, Circadian Rhythm Disruption, and Sleep Apnea.
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale, which has become a recognized standard for
assessing a patients sleepiness, is a simple questionnaire to help monitor your
level of sleepiness.
The application will score your sleepiness, give an analysis, and record your
score in a database. The information in the database can be statistically
reviewed for trends in your sleepiness.
