Summary

This study tests whether a 10-minute video of a sleeping child, recorded by parents on a smartphone, can help identify obstructive sleep apnea. The video analysis will be compared with standard sleep monitoring and a clinical questionnaire in children aged 3 to 10 who snore. If the video proves reliable, it might offer a simpler way to flag children who need further testing.
