Snore Doctor 1.0.0

Snore Doctor is a new application developed by Dr. Vik Veer, a globally recognized surgeon specializing in Snoring & Sleep Apnoea. The app is available for free without any limitations, although it includes affiliate links to products that, in the event of a purchase, contribute a small commission towards covering the app's costs – without incurring any additional expense to the user. Snore Doctor is currently in the experimental phase, and input from users is welcomed to enhance its utility for patients.

This innovative app enables users to record their snoring during sleep, presenting results in the following morning. A detailed graph illustrates the intensity of snoring in decibels, allowing users to relate it to familiar sounds in real life (e.g., equivalent noise levels to a vacuum cleaner or a hand drill). Additionally, individuals can track their average snoring levels over extended periods, offering valuable insights into their snoring patterns. This surpasses traditional sleep studies that typically capture noise data from only one or two nights, failing to account for fluctuating snoring levels across a week. Long-term average levels are crucial for comprehending snoring patterns and assessing the impact of interventions like weight loss, device utilization, or surgical procedures.

Moreover, Snore Doctor facilitates recording and playback of snoring audio for personal review or demonstration to acquaintances or healthcare providers at a later stage. Users have the option to share their data via social media or email if desired. The app's straightforward operation involves placing the phone consistently next to the bed each night and tapping the record button. To ensure accuracy, the app self-calibrates by initially measuring the background noise level, correcting for ambient noise that might impact results – especially relevant for individuals residing in noisy urban settings. Subsequently, it records breathing and snoring noises above this calibrated background for analysis.

Each recorded night can be tagged for later reference to observe potential influences on snoring levels such as alcohol intake, stress, or utilization of mandibular advancement devices across multiple nights.
