ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on finding new ways to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition where a person’s breathing stops and starts during sleep. Researchers will collect various types of data, including facial scans, videos of people speaking, blinking, and swallowing, as well as heart rate patterns. They want to see if any of these methods can help identify OSA more effectively than current methods.

To participate in the study, you need to be an adult aged 18 or older who can read and understand English. However, if you have already been diagnosed with OSA, have certain respiratory diseases, are pregnant or recently gave birth, or have a pacemaker, you won’t be eligible. Participants will help researchers gather important information, but this study is not yet recruiting, so it’s still in the planning stages. If you are interested in the study once it begins, it could contribute to better ways to diagnose OSA in the future.
