Testing a smartphone app to detect sleep apnea

This trial is testing a smartphone app called Apneal® that could help diagnose sleep apnea — a condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Researchers want to see if the app can accurately measure how severe your sleep apnea is and match the results from a standard overnight sleep test. If it works well, the app might offer a simpler way to diagnose this common sleep disorder.

Sleep apnea affects millions of people but often goes undiagnosed because standard testing requires expensive overnight lab visits. This trial exists to see whether a smartphone-based app could make diagnosis faster, easier, and more accessible.
