Our recordings sometimes stop overnight. What causes that?▼
The usual suspects are full disks, Windows updates restarting the acquisition PC, network drops between bedroom PCs and the central station, and power events. We look at logs from failed nights to find the pattern, then fix the cause: storage monitoring with alerts before disks fill, update schedules that never touch acquisition PCs during study hours, network checks and UPS units where they're missing. Automated monitoring keeps watching overnight so problems surface before a recording is lost.
How should remote scorers connect to our studies?▼
Through an MFA-protected path that doesn't expose remote desktop to the internet. Depending on your sleep software, that might be a VPN with per-user accounts, published applications or the vendor's own secure remote client. Each scorer gets an individual login, sessions are logged and access ends when the contract does. Studies stay on your server rather than being downloaded to personal computers, which keeps patient recordings and video under your control.
Is it safe to keep bedroom cameras on our network?▼
It's safe when they're isolated. Cameras recording patients while they sleep are sensitive, and many ship with default passwords and outdated firmware. We move cameras and intercoms to their own network segment, change credentials, block internet access they don't need and limit viewing to the monitoring station and approved users. Firmware updates follow the camera or PSG vendor's guidance. Video retention should match your policy, and we make sure stored video is included in backups where required.
Do home sleep test devices carry patient data?▼
They record data during the night, and some store patient identifiers until the device is downloaded and cleared. We set up a dedicated download workstation, make sure devices are cleared according to the manufacturer's process before they go to the next patient, and protect any cloud scoring portal with MFA and named accounts. Device cleaning, disinfection and hardware issues follow the manufacturer's instructions, and we keep the IT side consistent.
Do you support Natus, Compumedics and Philips sleep systems?▼
Yes, on the infrastructure side. We support the acquisition and review computers, storage, network, remote access and security those systems rely on. The manufacturer supports its software, amplifiers and sensors. When something breaks, we figure out whether the cause is the computer, the network, storage or the application, fix what's ours and open a clear ticket with the vendor for the rest, so technologists aren't stuck in the middle. We also keep a record of which software versions run on each acquisition PC.
We're a sleep medicine practice with a lab inside a hospital. Can you help?▼
Often, yes, with clear lines. The hospital may own the network and some systems, while your practice owns the clinic, scoring workflow and physician access. We document who manages what, coordinate with hospital IT on segmentation and remote access, and handle the practice-side systems ourselves. Remote engineering happens during business hours from across the U.S., with after-hours emergency response for active incidents, and hands-on work is done locally or by a vetted technician we direct.
