Can snoring be dangerous?

Snoring becomes dangerous if breathing stops occur again and again. Then one speaks of a so-called sleep apnea.

The insidious thing about it: You usually don't notice these breathing pauses. That is why around 80% of those affected do not know anything about their risk.

The pauses in breathing lead to a drop in the oxygen content in the blood. Short wake-up reactions are the result, but you usually don't notice them yourself.

However, this prevents restful deep sleep, which makes you tired and less productive during the day. In addition, the risk of accidents increases.

The body is constantly under stress during the night, and the cardiovascular system is overburdened. In the long term, there is a risk of high blood pressure, heart attack or stroke.

New snoring app for sleep apnea screening

Snorefox is the snoring app for anyone who knows or wants to eliminate their risk of sleep apnea.

With Snorefox you can not only measure how often and how loudly you snore, but also record your breathing patterns via the app and thus determine your sleep apnea risk yourself at home.

frequently asked Questions

What happens to my data?

Snorefox ensures the highest data protection requirements through pseudonymized data processing. What does pseudonymous data processing mean? At the moment of registration, Snorefox converts your email address into a code, and only this code is transferred to our server, with the aim that the generated analytics can be assigned to your cell phone. Thus, your email address remains unknown to us and is never stored on our server with the analytics.

Does Snorefox really only use the mobile phone microphone?

The Snorefox app runs on popular smartphones and simply uses the phone's internal microphone for analysis. Technically, it is a combination of acoustic pre-processing, intelligent feature extraction and machine classification. This means that Snorefox can do without special measurement microphones or other special hardware - a major advantage over other solutions.

How does Snorefox detect dangerous sleep apnea?

Snorefox detects breathing irregularities and respiratory events through intelligent audio analysis of snoring and breath noise patterns. In other words: Snorefox analyzes your snoring and at the same time carries out a risk check to determine whether there are dangerous breathing stops during sleep. Snorefox shows you the result of the analysis in a simple traffic light scheme. In this way, Snorefox quickly provides orientation as to whether a doctor's visit is necessary.

Is the app free?

The basic version of Snorefox is available for free in the AppStore for iOS. In the table you can compare the features of the free version with those of the full version.
