Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Apneal® app in diagnosing sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) in adults who require polysomnography (PSG) as part of routine care. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Can Apneal® accurately classify the SAS severity into four categories (normal: AHI < 5, mild: 5 ≤ AHI < 15, moderate: 15 ≤ AHI < 30, and severe: AHI ≥ 30) compared to PSG ?
- How does Apneal® perform in estimating the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), detecting sleep stages, differentiating between central and obstructive apneas, and identifying patient movements?
Participants will:
- Wear the Apneal® app-equipped smartphone and undergo PSG during a full night of sleep at home.
- Complete several questionnaires assessing sleep symptoms and experience with the Apneal® app.
