Clinical validation of a multisensor wearable device (SOUNDI) for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
摘要
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder with significant health and economic burdens and the current standard of diagnosis is performed through polysomnography. This study assesed the diagnostic accuracy of SOUNDI, a novel wearable device that uses optical, acoustical, and accelerometer signals for home sleep testing. Fifty patients suspected of having OSA underwent simultaneous monitoring with standard Type 3 cardiorespiratory monitoring (PG) and SOUNDI system. The apnea‒hypopnea index (AHI), oxygen desaturation index and oxygen saturation parameters derived from SOUNDI were highly correlated (r = 0.87–0.99, p < 0.0001) and were in good agreement with the PG. SOUNDI study was shown to have excellent specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) at various AHI values ( AHI
