Testing a wearable device for sleep apnea detection
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 21 years or older.
- Your doctor must have referred you for an overnight sleep study to check for sleep apnea or follow up on a previous diagnosis.
- You need to be willing to wear two small patches and a finger pulse oximeter during the sleep study.
- You must be able to understand and sign a consent form.
- You cannot be pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or breastfeeding.
- You should not have a history of severe insomnia.

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 two wearable sensors that track how hard you breathe while you sleep. It may help diagnose sleep and breathing problems without needing a hospital visit.
This study evaluates a new APAP (automatic positive airway pressure) device called Elara for treating obstructive sleep apnea. You'll use the device and have sleep monitoring to see how well it works for you.
This study tests a new 'smart mask' that can measure your oxygen levels and pulse rate. It is for healthy adults to see how well the mask works compared to standard devices.
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 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.
