Could a simple home device replace overnight sleep labs for apnea diagnosis?
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Berry Sleep Apnea Screening Monitor
- What this could lead to
- If the home device proves accurate, it could offer a more convenient and accessible way to diagnose sleep apnea without an overnight lab stay.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early comparison study. The home device may not match the lab test's accuracy, and results may not apply to people with other health conditions.
