Sleep apnea game for kids fails to launch: study withdrawn
NCT ID NCT04660994
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if an educational game called Yapouni could help children aged 3 to 16 use their CPAP or NIV breathing machines more consistently. The game was designed to motivate children by linking machine use to a hot air balloon's flight. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no data was collected.
