ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how well the Samsung Galaxy smartphone can detect moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The researchers want to see if this device can be a reliable tool for identifying people who have this sleep disorder. The trial is currently recruiting participants aged 22 and older who have a high likelihood of having OSA based on certain screening questionnaires or who have already been diagnosed with the condition.

To participate, individuals should be generally healthy and not have severe medical or psychiatric conditions that could interfere with the study. Participants will need to use a Samsung Galaxy device for sleep tracking and spend two nights in a sleep lab for monitoring. This study aims to improve how we diagnose sleep apnea, which can lead to better treatment options for those affected. If you or a loved one is interested in joining, it's important to review the eligibility criteria carefully and discuss any questions with your healthcare provider.
