Snoring and sleep apnoea? I've got an iPhone app for that

I COULD understand the spirit level app and a few others, but the latest one (direct from Finland) is an app which measures snoring!

Basically here's what the company involved have to say...

Remote Analysis Ltd, a telemedicine services provider, has in cooperation with Elias Pietila's Qvik Ltd (Wooden Labyrinth, for example) developed an iPhone application for recording and analyzing snoring and sleep apnea. The Sleep Aid -application is now available on the iPhone App Store for E 2,39.
"This application is very easy to use. Just place the iPhone on your night stand, click Record and go to sleep. In the morning click Wake up. After this you can browse a graph based on the night time recording and listen to audio clips revealing your snoring. The app includes sample audio clips of regular snoring and sleep apnea. You can compare your own recording with the samples and conclude whether you might have sleep apnea", CEO Ossi Tiihonen explains.
"We have developed the application with Qvik Ltd and medical doctors who specialize in sleep apnea diagnostics. The application can be used to screen sleep apnea or, for example, to gather evidence of your husband's snoring", CEO Ossi Tiihonen continues.
Remote Analysis Ltd specializes in remote medical analysis. The company was founded in 2002 and it serves 123 health care organizations around Finland.
