Smartwatch could screen for sleep apnea, study says
NCT ID NCT04496843
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study checks if a Withings smartwatch can accurately detect sleep apnea compared to a full hospital sleep test. About 220 adults who are already scheduled for a sleep test will wear the watch overnight. The goal is to see if the watch can help screen more people for sleep apnea, which often goes undiagnosed.
