A non-invasive, portable device for diagnosing sleep quality and detecting obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children during a night's sleep. This device aims to improve accessibility and early diagnosis, ultimately improving health and quality of life. The device is easy to use, low-cost, and can differentiate sleep from non-sleep events.

Wireless Wearable OSA Detection Problem Statement • In the US Snoring OSA • Children 12% 1-4% • Adults 20% 4% • Prevalence likely to increase with rising obesity • Associated with • Poor school performance • Long-term cardiovascular issues • Behavioral problems • Currently diagnosis requires sleep study (polysomnogram) which is expensive & inconvenient
Problem Statement • Good night sleep is essential for: • Quality of life, • Productivity and creativity at-home and in-work, • Social interaction, • Education achievements, • Health (cardiovascular morbidity,…)
Problem Statement • Symptoms Snoring Excessive Daytime Sleepiness Pauses in Breathing While Sleeping Abrupt Awakenings Morning Headache Awakening with Chest pain
Problem Statement Polysomnography (PSG) – gold-standard • Expansive • Long waiting lists • Uncomfortable • >80% remain undiagnosed
Problem Statement Wireless Wearable OSA Detection • Home sleep studies • Have become the norm in the US for adults • Algorithms are typically not intended for children (different desaturation indices) • Not sized for children
Problem Statement • Sleep evaluation Device • There is a need for a technology that will evaluate sleep and respiration for the mass population. • Will improve accessibility, • Early diagnosis and treatment will improve health and quality of life.
Need Statement A home-use, portable, non-invasive device for diagnosing and detection of sleep quality and sleep apnea events, over a night sleep
Wireless Wearable OSA Detection Main requirements: • Ideal • easy to use • low cost evaluation method • assess for obstructive sleep apnea in children • in-home • easy for children to tolerate • can differentiate sleep from non-sleep • Current practice • Inlab sleep study
Wireless Wearable OSA Detection Summary • OSA is common in the US and worldwide • In-lab study is the primary ped option in the US • Wearable, wireless assessment would be ideal • PAT technology may be a way to get this accomplished • OR use 1-2 wearable patches to extend what you can obtain from a home study • Could be extended to adults • Could expand home studies to include EEG and/or detect central vs obstructive events based on where they are worn • Limited by what you can put in a wearable patch & expense
