About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

This prospective study aims to compare automated polysomnographic scoring with manual scoring in adult patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The main objective is to evaluate the accuracy, reliability, and time efficiency of automated scoring algorithms compared to standard manual scoring performed by expert sleep specialists

The group in the trial

  • Adult OSA Patients

    Adult patients diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea undergoing polysomnography to compare automated versus manual scoring.

    Treatment: Polysomnographic Scoring (Automated vs. Manual)
