Validation of a Wearable Medical Device for Automatic Diagnosis of OSA against Standard PSG.

ABSTRACT:

Study objective

The objective of this study was to assess the accuracy of automatic diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with a new, small, acoustic-based, wearable technology (AcuPebble SA100), by comparing it with standard type 1 polysomnography (PSG) diagnosis.

Material and methods

This observational, prospective study was carried out in a Spanish hospital sleep apnea center. Consecutive subjects who had been referred to the hospital following primary care suspicion of OSA were recruited and underwent in-laboratory attended PSG, together with the AcuPebble SA100 device simultaneously overnight from January to December 2022.

Results

A total of 80 patients were recruited for the trial. The patients had a median Epworth scoring of 10, a mean of 10.4, and a range
