This trial is testing two new approaches to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (a common sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops during sleep): a smart ring called the Belun Ring that you wear on your finger, and a clinical scoring system based on a physical exam by a doctor. Both will be compared to the gold-standard overnight sleep study in a laboratory to see if they can accurately identify who has sleep apnea and how severe it is.
Currently, the standard way to diagnose sleep apnea requires an expensive overnight stay in a sleep laboratory, which is inconvenient and creates long waiting times. Researchers want to know if this new smart ring and a simple clinical exam could be faster, cheaper alternatives that still work reliably.

You will visit the sleep clinic at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre for a single overnight stay. During the day, doctors will examine your throat and nose with a small camera and ask you about your health history. That night, you will sleep in the lab while wearing the smart ring on your finger and standard sleep monitoring equipment. The ring and lab equipment will record information simultaneously while you sleep (you need to sleep at least 4 hours for your data to be included). Results from both the ring and the lab test will be compared to see how well the new technology works.
