First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study evaluates whether a smartwatch and smartphone can accurately screen for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Adults suspected of having OSA will wear a smartwatch and smartphone while undergoing standard overnight sleep monitoring in a hospital. The results from the devices will be compared to the hospital test to see how well they detect the condition.
