Could a smart sensor replace the sleep lab? new study tests AI-Powered home screening for sleep apnea
NCT ID NCT07447999
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a combination of noninvasive sensors—listening to breathing sounds, measuring oxygen levels, and tracking body movement—can accurately estimate the severity of obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers will enroll 150 adults suspected of having sleep apnea and compare the sensor data with standard overnight sleep tests. The goal is to create a simple, home-friendly tool that makes early screening more accessible.
