I have released an App! SnoreDoctor my NEW Snore recorder app

[@VikVeerENTSurgeon]

Dear all. My app was hacked and I lost £10k. I can't fix it by myself and the cheapest quote I've had to redo it is £27k. I'm really sorry, this app is out of action. Thank you all for your support. Vik

[@sarahhunt7005]

I'm so sorry this has happened to your app, especially when your trying to help so many of us sleep apnea sufferers. Thank you for all the education you provide us with 🙏

I don't snore, but my career (before I retired) as in computer programming. Your app looks very impressive. I think the user interface is clear, uncluttered, and intuitive. Great work !

Thank you Dr Veer for this amazing channel. I am under the care of an ENT here in Markham Canada and fid your videos invaluable. My dad was a Pathologist in the NHS back in the 1970s. We can learn a lot from your model here. Our system is antiquated and needs an overhaul.

[@JC-rm8qc]

This is such a fantastic resource Dr Snore! I found you at Asthma UK where someone had recommended your KZbin video on How To UseA Nasal Spray. There was so much in there that I have never been told, even to point the spray toward your ear! Who knew that there are gill- like structures in your nose! Thank you so very much for providing this information. Why aren’t patients being told/demoed this when they are first prescribed nasal sprays? It’s crazy! I am about to download your knee app. I’m sure there will be thousands of interested people so I’m sharing with people I know too. Best wishes and many heartfelt thanks to you. X.

[@newby2224]

This has been my first opportunity to monitor my sleep in a non clinical situation. My first night using the app has indicated unexpected results. It will be interesting to compile results in order to get an overview of my snoring/apnea situation. The app has given me a sense of control for the first time in years of dealing with sleep apnea…

[@VikVeerENTSurgeon]

I hope it is helpful.

[@mariasilva6620]

Great idea. I will use it.

[@krg250163]

This looks really impressive, I have downloaded it and will start using it tonight. I have had a sleep study and suffered one of my worst ever nights so can really see the benefit of a consistent gathering of data. As one of your NHS patients, I think it could be useful if you were able to access this data prior to an appointment. It is clear that you have given up a lot of your spare time in creating this app. Thank you, your efforts are much appreciated.

[@VikVeerENTSurgeon]

There should be a share option on it to send data. I hope it works...

[@harry-kas]

Very sorry to hear that your app is hacked, Vik. 😢 Thank you for your videos, I find them very interesting and I learn a lot of it. I use a cpap since about 6 years and it helps, but I should love to have a doctor like you here in Sweden. I think that there could be done more to reduce my sleepapnea, but I have not found the right doctors. Thank you and keep up the good work, but be careful not to burn out! ❤

I am all in Doctor. I use bipap therapy as i commented in another video in the following ..Hello Sir, My good Doctor. I neede to make sure you are aware that the videos you are doing... they matter to me. I am extremely grateful not just for time doing these but the time spent in school. your demeanor. There is compassion and caring in your voice and it matters. So Thanks man. You have confirmed a ton of my thoughts. i have been a willing participant of bipap therapy for two decades. it has never been a good solution. and I am in the market for either the inspire implant or another similar device. i also am doing the exercises in your other videos and I have gone rom 260 lbs to 190.. yes in america. But I intend to fight back. I will go gently into that good night sir and your info is very valuable to me. so again thank you from across the pond. So I want to see the app in use with bipap therapy in place.

[@VikVeerENTSurgeon]

I will get round to fixing that.... so much to do...

[@D.H.critters]

Thank you for developing this App. It works very well, but it seems to have some glitches. For example, sometimes as my cellphone alarms go off in the morning and I click on the App to stop the recordings, it exits the App and upon returning I have lost all the data and it appears only on the main display. I wanted to suggest that maybe it would be a good idea to create, within the app, a way for users to provide feedback on their usage and possible glitches. That may help to repair software issues and improve its usage. Thank you again for releasing this App.

[@adilpinks]

Hi congrats for your app. I just wanted to ask 1 question before when I use to wear the CPAP I was very comfortable & had a good sleep but since few months now my mouth gets absolutely dry in about 2 hrs & I wake up from my sleep. Pls guide me for this.

[@VikVeerENTSurgeon]

Often it is because your nose is blocked. CPAP always causes your turbinates to swell up. please use the steroid nasal sprays and saline that would have come with your CPAP. its often very difficult to use CPAP without it.

[@adilpinks]

@@VikVeerENTSurgeon Thank you

I’m sure it will be quite successful once all the little glitches are worked out. I just tried to install it but didn’t receive the code to complete the installation. As I’m in California do you suspect that might have something to do with it? I’ll keep trying because I’d like to use it for myself and for my husband. Many thanks again!

I have had a snoring problem since forever. Had surgery to expand nasal passages when I was 14 but did nothing to improve the snoring. Also had the sleep apnea test which came back negative. Don’t smoke drink or am overweight and nasal airway is clear. Am currently awaiting to see an ent specialist so in the meantime found the only thing that has significant results as a tongue retainer. This has taken a snore lab score from 80 down to 15. It’ is is very uncomfortable but is the only thing that work while I wait to see a specialist. Could a tongue tie be the main cause of my snoring. Will try your app as well as your video face really helped

Any help/explanation would be appreciated. Thanks

I measure from the calibrated level to the snoring level. so your snoring has to be 52db to be noticed as snoring.

[@nancylindsay4255]

1. The app has shown consistently that I have 0% of time over 30 dB. What can you tell us about reliability of your app in catching sounds of snoring? It would be helpful to have information of this kind to show to medical professionals who assume without evidence that a patient is a frequent and loud snorer. 2. How can I access the recordings of the loud points over the night (if any) that you said are automatically recorded so one can hear one's snoring?

[@VikVeerENTSurgeon]

in the morning when you turn off the recording the app will offer you a selection of clips of the loudest points of each night. you will need to store them each individually.

[@nancylindsay4255]

@@VikVeerENTSurgeon So if no offer of clips, then there's been no snoring? That's consistent with your app's finding that I have 0% of time over 30dB. Now how can I convince all of my medical practitioners to stop assuming I am a heavy snorer? Have you any information on reliability of your or other snoring apps? The sleep clinic I have to go to clearly wants SO badly to hook me into CPAP use whether or not it is needed or appropriate. The ONLY test they offer me is the take-home WatchPat and the ONLY possible outcomes are: 1. You are a heavy snorer or 2. You have OSA -- based solely on the test's RDI score -- and you MUST commit BEFORE being tested to wearing a CPAP if your RDI is 5 or above. They want me to do this before my known nasal anatomical obstruction and insomnia are addressed adequately. My frustration is enough to make me start grinding my teeth!

Thank you so much for all your effort, on behalf of myself and moreso, my partner! My sleep apnoea causes her all sorts of issues, and I have bought the Hope2Sleep chinstrap thanks to your video on it! The app is fantastic, and I would like to suggest some personal changes? But please don't take them as criticisms! - the X axis of the graph is in minutes, which can involve a bit of mathematics to work out at what time any snoring is taking place. So maybe get rid of the minute values, and replace them with times? For example, if you sleep at 12am, have the X axis go 1am, 2am, 3am... So on and so forth. It makes it a bit easier to follow and give a better mental idea of what the full night's activity was, without working out how long 178 minutes from 11:42pm is haahaa. - not sure if I have been using it right, but there are no audio recordings to playback? At least not in analysis mode, from last dates. Maybe that's my fault though and I am not using the app right? Audio recordings would help, as me and my partner just debated if she went to the toilet or if I was snoring haahaa. Either way, I love the app, and I love your videos, so a huge thank you from the both of us for all of your hard work, kindness, and effort.
