Comprehensive Analysis of Respiratory Events Using Smartphone Systems

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Earlier studies suggest that acoustical analysis of snoring sounds can identify obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The goal of the current study is to refine and validate algorithms for OSA diagnosis.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a form of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) where cessation of breathing occurs during sleep in 9% of middle-aged women and 25% or middle-aged men. Major health issues and risks have been linked to untreated sleep apnea, including drug-resistant hypertension, obesity, congestive heart failure and diabetes. Patient awareness of this condition is growing, but obtaining adequate data has continuing barriers. The gold standard for sleep testing is the overnight clinical polysomnogram (PSG) where over 20 sensors are attached to a patient and vital signs are monitored and recorded over the course of a 6-8 hour sleep test. This is a prospective clinical performance study to compare the ability of proprietary algorithms that analyze sleep recordings from smartphones, with FDA cleared Level III home sleep testing (HST) devices, to identify patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Consecutive patients referred for home sleep testing (HST) for possible OSA will be offered participation. Participants who provide informed consent will fill out a questionnaire and then proceed with HST in their home. During HST, additional sound recordings will be made with either: Android type smartphone with a recording application (app). The phone will be placed on a table 50-100 cm (20-40 inches) from patient's mouth. or IPhone type smartphone with a recording application (app). Phone will be placed on a table 50-100 cm (20-40 inches) from patient's mouth The sound recordings obtained via smartphones will be analyzed electronically for OSA by the proprietary algorithms. This will be performed by engineers at Resonea, Inc., the study sponsor, who will be blinded to the results obtained by the Level III HST device HST will be performed using a type III home sleep monitor that has been cleared by the FDA and validated to assist in the diagnosis of OSA. HST results will be interpreted according to the standards established for the device being utilized. HST tests will be interpreted by sleep medicine physicians at the study sites who will be blinded to the assessment from the proprietary algorithms. The independently determined results of HST and proprietary algorithms analysis will then be compared. The results of the proprietary algorithm testing will not be known to those providing HST and the proprietary algorithm analysis will not be utilized in the clinical management of study participants The primary objectives are: (a) to demonstrate that obtaining recordings in home setting for use with the proprietary sound analysis software is feasible and safe; and (b) to compare the results of the proprietary algorithm score with HST for the diagnosis of OSA. The secondary objectives are: (a) to compare the recorded sound data against various scoring metrics from the HST; and (b) to demonstrate that use of the sound analysis software on smartphones is feasible for patients in the home sleep setting; and (c) to use the proprietary software to identify sleep disordered breathing beyond OSA, including central sleep apnea, snoring and other conditions.
