Autoscoring Certification: Sleep Stage Pilot Program
Elevating Standards in Sleep Medicine Technology
Welcome to the future of sleep study evaluation. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) proudly presents the Autoscoring Certification: Sleep Stage Pilot Program. This initiative is designed to rigorously assess and certify autoscoring software systems that analyze adult sleep stages via in-lab polysomnograms, ensuring they meet our high standards for accuracy and reliability.

Current Certified Software:
Philips RS North America, LLC
Philips RS North America LLC has earned stage-specific autoscoring software certification from the AASM. Its software, Sleepware G3 with Somnolyzer v4.0.2.0, is the first to be certified through the pilot program, which the AASM launched in 2023.
Program Overview
Autoscoring Certification is available to entities that operate in the United States and possess software capable of conducting sleep stage scoring from in-lab polysomnograms. To be eligible, the software must have FDA 510(k) clearance or valid documentation confirming a submission is in process with the FDA. The certification standards detail additional eligibility criteria and are available upon request.
Certification entails a rigorous validation process by the AASM’s Gold Standard Panel, consisting of 9 sleep technologists and 2 physicians. This panel conducts a detailed review of over 100 polysomnographic records from diverse institutions to ensure the software’s performance meets the AASM’s high standards for certification.
Once achieved, certification is valid for two years and includes the software’s version number, underscoring a period of trusted usability.
