Could your phone diagnose sleep apnea? new trial aims to find out

NCT ID NCT06578390

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether a smartphone app called Apneal can accurately diagnose sleep apnea in adults who already need an overnight sleep test. About 500 participants will wear the app on their chest while also undergoing standard polysomnography at home. The goal is to see if the app can correctly classify sleep apnea severity and measure key breathing events.
