Abstract:Purpose
Sleep apnea (SA) is highly prevalent, but under diagnosed due to inaccessibility of sleep testing. To address this issue, portable devices for home sleep testing have been developed to provide convenience with reasonable accuracy in diagnosing SA. The objective of this study was to test the validity a novel portable sleep apnea testing device, BresoDX1, in SA diagnosis, via recording of trachea-sternal motion, tracheal sound and oximetry.
