Testing the BreathAlert device for apnea monitoring
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a device called BreathAlert that monitors breathing and detects when a patient stops breathing (apnea). It aims to help doctors and nurses keep a closer watch on patients who are at risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The patient is being treated at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH) in Malawi, in the neonatal or pediatric ward.
- The patient is at risk for apnea (pauses in breathing) or needs their breathing rate checked.
- A BreathAlert device is available for use while the patient is at risk.
- The patient's parent or caregiver has agreed to the study by signing a consent form.

This study looks at how well a new breathing monitor works for children with sleep problems, breathing pauses in newborns, or epilepsy. It may help doctors better understand breathing patterns without extra needles or blood tests.
This trial tests a new way to measure breathing using a standard oxygen sensor (pulse oximetry) and a special clip on the nose for children and adults. It's meant for people already having their blood oxygen checked regularly, and the goal is to see if the sensor can accurately track your breaths.
This trial tests how accurate a new monitor is at measuring breathing rate in emergency room patients. It may help doctors quickly and easily check your breathing without extra steps.
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 looks at how well a special device can be used in children to understand breathing problems related to chest and belly movement. It may help researchers improve care for kids who have breathing distress.
This study uses special microphones to listen to and record breathing sounds in extremely premature infants (born before 29 weeks). The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect breathing problems early so babies can get help faster.
