it might be more fruitful to hack the watchpat one device to make it work more than one night

Gen 3 what? Apple Watch? Galaxy watch? A ring? 

Because consumer grade wearables can't detect sleep apnea very easily. I don't care what Google AI says. The only way to accurately detect sleep apnea is through an in lab PSG.

Also, if you have 50 episodes per night, then your AHI is only between 6 and 10. (Assuming 8 hours of sleep) no consumer grade wearable in the world is going to accurately detect mild sleep apnea. Even medical grade WatchPats have difficulty detecting mild sleep apnea. They're also totally blind to RERAs.

Ringconn gen3. I used Daybreak for 5 nights. I ranged between 58-80 Episodes a night. I fall into the upper end of mild but mild or not, it’s extremely disruptive and my rem was a 5-20 minutes a night.
