Would snoring recordings help before asking a doctor?

Hi everyone,

I’m working on an iPhone app that records snoring/breathing sounds overnight and shows a simple report in the morning.

I know this cannot diagnose sleep apnea or replace a sleep study. I’m more curious whether audio clips and a timeline could help someone realize “this is worth asking a doctor about.”

For those who have been tested for sleep apnea, would it have helped to bring recordings or a few nights of snoring patterns to your doctor?

Or would that kind of app data mostly be noise unless it comes from a real sleep test?

Trying to build this carefully and avoid making it sound more medical than it really is.
