Wesper lab patches for sleep apnea detection
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 21 years old.
- Your doctor must have referred you for an overnight sleep study (polysomnogram) to check for sleep apnea or to follow up on previous results.
- You must be willing to wear two small research patches and a pulse oximeter (a device that checks oxygen levels) overnight at the sleep center, along with the standard sleep study equipment.
- You must be able to understand and voluntarily sign a consent form on your own behalf.
- If you are a woman, you must not be pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
- You must not have a history of severe insomnia or any other health condition that the study doctor decides would make participation unsafe.

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.
This study tests a new APAP machine (called Elara) that helps keep your airway open while you sleep. It looks at how well the device works for people who are already using APAP therapy.
This study tests a new wearable device (WP) against standard sleep testing (PSG) for people with suspected sleep problems. It may help diagnose issues like sleep apnea more comfortably.
This study tests a home sleep testing system called SleepView+ in people who have already been scheduled for an overnight sleep lab study. If you have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, this device might offer a more convenient way to monitor your sleep at home.
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 study tests whether new technologies, like a small wearable sensor, can accurately diagnose sleep apnea compared with the standard overnight sleep test. It may help people get easier, more convenient sleep apnea diagnosis.
