New ways to spot obstructive sleep apnea using facial scans, videos, and heart rate patterns

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

Researchers will collect data from adults to see if facial features, natural videos of talking and blinking, and heart rate changes during different states can indicate obstructive sleep apnea. The study is observational and will analyze how these signals relate to a diagnosis of OSA. It is conducted at a ResMed Sleep Clinic in Sydney, with adults who can read English and do not have a prior OSA diagnosis. Participants will provide facial scans, videos, and HRV measurements as part of the data collection.
