Validation of a new, minimally-invasive, software smartphone device to predict sleep apnea and its severity: transversal study

arXiv:2406.16953v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequent and responsible for cardiovascular complications and excessive daytime sleepiness. It is underdiagnosed due to the difficulty to access the gold standard for diagnosis, polysomnography (PSG). Alternative methods using smartphone sensors could be useful to increase diagnosis. The objective is to assess the performances of Apneal, an application that records the sound using a smartphone's microphone and movements thanks to a smartphone's accelerometer and gyroscope, to estimate patients' AHI. In …
