Somfit® is the number one choice for pharmacy based sleep testing in Australia.

Pharmacy based sleep testing is the fastest growing segment of the Australian sleep diagnostic market. It is a patient-pays model (non-Medicare), where the pharmacy staff identify patients who are likely to have OSA and encourage them to have a sleep test, carried out by the Pharmacy staff. These studies are reported by Australian Sleep physicians. These tests require simple and reliable equipment, which requires minimal user expertise, and the Somfit is ideal for this environment.

Since August 2023, Compumedics have worked with Philips, the leading company in facilitating pharmacy based sleep testing. Philips act as the Compumedics distributor in providing the Somfit devices and electrodes to over 500 pharmacies. In November 2024, we started work with Resmed, who have entered the pharmacy sector as well. These two companies have an estimated 80% market share in the pharmacy sector and are key to our success in this fast moving area.

Compumedics will continue to invest and support this sector, particularly as Medicare is currently investigating whether Level 3 and Level 4 studies should be reimbursed in Australia.
