What We Treat

The most common reasons people don't sleep well.

Snoring & Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common reason for chronic daytime fatigue, morning headaches, and unrefreshing sleep. We evaluate by telehealth, order an at-home WatchPAT One study if indicated, and discuss treatment with the results.

Insomnia & Sleep Onset

Trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, or waking too early. Most insomnia responds to a clinical evaluation and structured approach rather than a sedative. We work through CBT-I principles, sleep hygiene, and pharmacotherapy when appropriate.

At-Home Sleep Study

The WatchPAT One at-home kit.

The WatchPAT One is a single-use, FDA-cleared home sleep test that captures the data needed to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea. You wear it for one night at home, return it, and we review the results together by video.

What's in the kit

A small wrist-worn unit with a fingertip sensor and a chest sensor. You wear it for one night of sleep at home, in your own bed. No wires, no overnight stay in a sleep lab, no clinic visit.

The device records pulse rate, oxygen saturation, sleep stages, body position, snoring, and respiratory events. The data uploads automatically, and Joy reviews the report with you in a follow-up video visit.

Most people get a usable result on the first night. If the study is inconclusive, we can repeat it without an additional kit charge.

Good To Know

How the study fits your life

The WatchPAT One is FDA-cleared and gives you a real diagnostic result from your own bed. After the study, Joy walks you through the report on video and discusses what makes sense next. If sleep apnea shows up, that often means CPAP, an oral appliance, or positional therapy, and we coordinate with a local equipment provider for whatever you choose.

Common Questions

What patients often ask.

How do I know if I need a sleep study?
If you snore loudly, wake up tired despite a full night of sleep, have witnessed pauses in breathing while asleep, wake with morning headaches, or have unexplained daytime sleepiness, you may have sleep apnea. The initial consult sorts out whether testing is needed.
Is the WatchPAT One as accurate as a sleep lab study?
For diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea in most patients, yes. It's FDA-cleared and widely accepted by insurers and DME providers. For complex sleep disorders, an in-lab study is sometimes still needed and Joy will tell you if that's the case.
What happens if I'm diagnosed with sleep apnea?
Treatment usually starts with CPAP. We coordinate with a local DME provider for setup. Some patients are candidates for oral appliances or positional therapy, which we discuss based on the severity of your apnea and your preferences.
What if I just have trouble falling asleep?
Insomnia is treated differently from sleep apnea. Most insomnia responds well to CBT-I principles, sleep hygiene work, and sometimes short-term pharmacotherapy. We can work through this in telehealth visits without needing a sleep study.
Do I have to live in Houston to enroll?
No. This service is delivered by telehealth, so any Texas resident can enroll. You'll meet Joy by secure video visit, and your medication ships from a partner pharmacy directly to your door.
Do you take insurance?
Nuovara Health is a cash-pay practice, which means you pay us directly at the time of service. We don't bill insurance. The advantage is transparent pricing and no insurance-driven restrictions on your care. Some prescriptions can still run through your insurance at your local pharmacy.
What is your cancellation policy?
We ask for 24 hours notice on any cancellation. Cancellations or reschedules inside the 24-hour window are subject to a $50 fee. Mobile no-shows are charged the full visit fee because supplies and travel are already committed. We're a small practice and this protects time for the patients who need it.
