Smart mask could replace sleep lab tests for apnea patients
NCT ID NCT07136272
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a smart mask that uses AI to detect sleep stages and breathing-related arousals in adults with sleep apnea. About 150 participants will wear the mask during an overnight sleep study, and its results will be compared to standard lab tests. If accurate, the mask could make sleep monitoring easier and more accessible.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Smart Mask V1 System (a device with embedded software that uses pulse rate and airflow data to detect sleep stages and arousals)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this smart mask could offer a simpler, at-home way to monitor sleep quality and breathing problems without needing a full lab sleep study.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early validation study with only 150 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is not yet proven to be as accurate as standard sleep tests.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects must be at least 18 years of age at screening. * Subjects are individuals diagnosed with sleep-disordered breathing who have been prescribed PAP therapy or referred for a PSG. * Subjects must be willing and able to comply with the study requirements, which include using test, reference and predicate devices (if needed), completing training, interacting with study personnel and filling out questionnaires. * Subjects must be fluent in English. * Subject must be willing to undergo the screening and informed consent process prior to enrollment in the study. * Subjects must be deemed suitable candidates for this study based on the PI's evaluation of their condition and the features of the investigational device being tested. Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects unable or unwilling to wear a PAP mask as required for the study. * Subjects currently employed by, previously employed by or in any way affiliated (consulting, etc.) with any manufacturer or provider of PAP equipment and/or services. * Subjects who are pregnant. * Subjects with or requiring an implantable device, such as an electronic defibrillator, pacemaker, or other device. * Subjects considered by the PI to be medically unsuitable for study participation.
