Awake and Sleep Sound Screening for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study assesses the feasibility of using tracheal breathing sounds to detect obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) both when patients are awake and during sleep, and to understand the relationship between airflow and sound in both states. The approach aims to create a faster, more convenient screening method that could reduce reliance on full PSG studies. Participants include adults suspected of OSA and referred for PSG, with exclusions for certain respiratory and sleep disorders. The study compares the AWakeOSA sound-analysis algorithm to existing screening methods in a real-world clinical setting and at a single site. Outcomes focus on feasibility, sensitivity, and specificity of awake and sleep sound-based predictions for OSA presence and severity.
