Background: Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for diagnosing and monitoring sleep disorders, however, it is time-consuming and costly, as the application of the equipment can only be done by trained sleep technicians and the test must be conducted within a sleep laboratory. Objectives: In this study we assessed the performance of the first wireless patch-based PSG system, the Onera Sleep Test System (STS), which can be applied by the patient and performed outside of the sleep laboratory in settings such as the home. To achieve this, sleep stage and physiological data from the Onera STS were compared to gold standard in-lab PSG. Materials and methods: The recordings were unsupervised to simulate a home-use environment. Epoch-by-epoch agreement was assessed by calculating sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and Cohens kappa coefficient. Pearsons correlation coefficients were calculated for multiple sleep parameters to measure the level of entire night agreement. Results: Substantial agreement with a Cohens kappa of 0.69 across all sleep stages was determined, which reached 0.81 when Stage N1 was removed from the analysis. A high accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity were found for wake N2, N3 and REM. Although specificity (95.25%) and accuracy (89.62%) were high for N1, sensitivity was low (27.19%). Sleep parameters calculated by sleep stage transitions, apnea hypopnea index and oxygen desaturation index, showed strong correlations. Conclusions: The Onera STS provides comparable clinical information to traditional PSG. Moreover, the application time was reduced by 77% which reduces the overall costs of PSG. These results open the possibility for PSG studies to be performed efficiently outside of the sleep laboratory at a larger scale, thus improving access for patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
