Your face could reveal sleep apnea: new study tests High-Tech diagnosis
NCT ID NCT06930404
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether simple measurements like facial scans, videos of blinking and swallowing, and heart rate changes can help doctors diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Researchers will collect this data from 800 adults who do not already have an OSA diagnosis. The goal is to find a faster, easier way to identify people with moderate to severe sleep apnea.
