Sleep clinics, reducing home sleep test failures with better prep support.
How sleep clinics use Chatref to walk patients through prep instructions before the device is ever in their hands.
Failed home sleep tests were a constant drain on our scheduling capacity. Since we added Chatref to our device pickup process, patients show up with their prep questions already answered and our failure rate has dropped noticeably.
Patients used to call at 9 pm the night of their study with basic setup questions. Now Chatref answers them on the spot and studies actually complete.
It answers from our own prep sheet so the instructions match exactly. Patients trust it because it sounds like us.
fewer after-hours prep calls the night of a home sleep test
Our coordinators used to spend Monday mornings triaging failed weekend studies. That triage call volume is mostly gone.
What should I avoid the night before a home sleep test?
Chatref answers from your specific prep instructions – for example, avoiding caffeine, alcohol, or napping. It answers from your document, not generic advice.
What do I do if the home sleep test device doesn't work?
Chatref walks patients through your troubleshooting steps. If the device issue can't be resolved through your guide, it routes the patient to a staff member.
