Radar could replace wires for narcolepsy sleep tests
NCT ID NCT07654803
First seen Jun 22, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a millimeter-wave radar system can accurately diagnose type 1 narcolepsy by monitoring sleep without physical contact. Forty patients will use the radar alongside standard sleep tests (PSG/MSLT) to see if the radar matches the standard results. If it works, this could make narcolepsy diagnosis easier and more accessible, possibly even at home.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
millimeter-wave radar sleep monitoring system
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simpler, non-contact way to diagnose narcolepsy, possibly allowing home-based sleep monitoring instead of hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The radar system may not match the accuracy of standard tests.
