FAirEST screening tools are free to download and use without alteration for non-commercial use. We trust you to credit Fairest.org and the researchers when appropriate.

The goal of Fairest is to develop simple, cost-effective, non-invasive Functional Airway Evaluation Screening Tools that can help to identify patients at risk of sleep and breathing issues. Customized tools for each profession are under development and will be modified as we learn from and improve each version of the tool.

Donations are greatly appreciated and will go toward continued support of FAIREST screening tools.
