Overnight analysis metrics

ODI, desaturation events, time-below thresholds, and severity badges explained.

Updated 2026-06-28

The analysis panel turns a night of raw samples into the metrics clinicians use to describe overnight oxygenation.

The analysis panel groups respiratory, SpO₂, and heart-rate metrics for the selected night.
The analysis panel groups respiratory, SpO₂, and heart-rate metrics for the selected night.

Respiratory events

  • ODI-3% / ODI-4% — the oxygen desaturation index: how many times per hour your SpO₂ dropped by at least 3% (or 4%) from baseline. Higher means more fragmented oxygenation.
  • Event counts — the raw number of qualifying desaturations across the night.
  • Severity badges — a quick normal / mild / moderate / severe banding of the ODI.

SpO₂

  • Min and Mean SpO₂ across the night.
  • Time below 90% / 88% — minutes spent under each clinically meaningful threshold.
  • Burden per hour — desaturation load normalised to recording time.

These figures are derived from your recording for your own tracking. They are not a medical diagnosis — discuss anything concerning with a clinician.

Heart rate

Mean, min, max, and variability (standard deviation) sit alongside CVHR and the HR-to-SpO₂ coupling — explained in heart rate and CVHR.
