Validation of a Wearable Medical Device for Automatic Diagnosis of OSA against Standard PSG.
Journal of Clinical Medicine 2024 January 20
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the accuracy of automatic diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with a new, small, acoustic-based, wearable technology (AcuPebble SA100), by comparing it with standard type 1 polysomnography (PSG) diagnosis.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: This observational, prospective study was carried out in a Spanish hospital sleep apnea center. Consecutive subjects who had been referred to the hospital following primary care suspicion of OSA were recruited and underwent in-laboratory attended PSG, together with the AcuPebble SA100 device simultaneously overnight from January to December 2022.
RESULTS: A total of 80 patients were recruited for the trial. The patients had a median Epworth scoring of 10, a mean of 10.4, and a range of 0-24. The mean AHI obtained with PSG plus sleep clinician marking was 23.2, median 14.3 and range 0-108. The study demonstrated a diagnostic accuracy (based on AHI) of 95.24%, sensitivity of 92.86%, specificity of 97.14%, positive predictive value of 96.30%, negative predictive value of 94.44%, positive likelihood ratio of 32.50 and negative likelihood ratio of 0.07.
CONCLUSIONS: The AcuPebble SA100 (EU) device has demonstrated an accurate automated diagnosis of OSA in patients undergoing in-clinic sleep testing when compared against the gold-standard reference of in-clinic PSG.
