Testing a sleep sensor for children suspected of sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a child sleep “sensor” device in kids who have been referred to a sleep clinic because sleep apnea is suspected. It may help doctors diagnose sleep problems more easily using extra information from the sensor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 1 year old
- Have been referred to a sleep clinic because sleep apnea is suspected
- You (parent/guardian/carer) need to be fluent in English and able to communicate with study staff
- No known allergy to the adhesive used to stick the sensor to the skin
- Your child’s neck skin should be suitable for the sensor (no skin problems where it would attach)
- Your child should have enough space on the neck for the sensor and be unlikely to become too distressed by added sensors

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing a new device that uses two small patches to help doctors detect sleep apnea (when breathing repeatedly stops during sleep). It aims to see how well this device compares to the standard overnight sleep test when used together, which could lead to a more comfortable way to diagnose sleep apnea.
This study tests a wearable device (Sunrise) against two current devices (oximetry and WatchPAT) to find better ways to diagnose obstructive sleep apnoea at home. If you have symptoms of sleep apnoea, you may be able to participate.
This study tests a wearable device that can help monitor breathing and sleep in children. It compares children with sleep apnea to children without sleep apnea using a simple nighttime monitoring approach.
This study tests a wearable sleep monitor (WatchPAT 400) in children and teens who are already scheduled for an overnight sleep test. It aims to see if the wearable device can reliably detect sleep problems as an easier alternative.
This trial tests whether a smartphone app (Apneal®) can accurately diagnose sleep apnea during a routine sleep study. If you are already going to have a sleep study, you may be able to help test this device.
This trial tests wearable devices to monitor sleep in children and teens. It may help make sleep tracking easier than a traditional sleep test.
