NCT ID NCT07688603
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares a new home sleep apnea screening device to the gold-standard in-lab sleep test. Researchers will measure how well the home device detects breathing pauses and oxygen drops in adults referred for a sleep study. The goal is to see if the home test is accurate enough to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea without requiring an overnight stay in a sleep lab.
