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 study tests a new wearable device (Wesper Lab) that uses patches and a pulse oximeter to measure sleep apnea during a standard overnight sleep study. The goal is to see how well it detects both obstructive and central sleep apnea compared to the usual test.
This trial tests a new device that uses neural networks to detect sleep stages and arousals. It may help people with sleep-disordered breathing who are starting or already using PAP therapy.
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 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.
