About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The study will test the reliability of the Samsung Galaxy for the Detection of Moderate to Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
The group in the trial
- Samsung Galaxy Watch technology
All participants screened will utilize the Samsung Galaxy Watch technology to monitor sleep patterns, oxygen saturation, PPG, and heart rate variability amongst other physiologic parameters. All data will be collected over the course of two intervention nights in the sleep lab and at home for three nights
Treatment: Samsung Galaxy Watch
