Brief summary

This prospective study aims to evaluate a new medical screening method to detect and discriminate sleep apnea-hypopnea events. A new device called ApneaBand will be tested to propose a new screening method facilitating the diagnosis and monitoring of the sleep apnea syndrom, still underdiagnosed. This device will be tested in comparison with polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard reference method of sleep apnea diagnosis.

Detailed description

The objective of this study is to dertermine the performance of the ApneaBand, a new non-intrusive and portable device, in detecting sleep apnea, in comparison with PSG. 40 apneic and non apneic subjects will wear the ApneaBand recording the different sleep stages and the occurency of apnea-hypopnea sleep events through four sensors including oximetry (oxygen saturation), photoplethysmography (pulse wave), electrodermal activity and tri-axial accelerometer (movements). Inclusion visit will be proceeded at the University Hospital Grenoble-Alpes ; polysomnography and mesures by the ApneaBand will be proceeded at the patient's home by IC@dom. Patients will be equiped with PSG + ApneaBand during the first night and with ApneaBand only the second night.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Performance of the ApneaBand to detect sleep apnea3 daysPerformance of the ApneaBand device in detecting moderate to severe sleep apnea (defined by an Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) ≥ 15 events/hour), in comparison with PSG

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
External reproductibility of AHI measurement by the ApneaBand3 daysReproducibility between AHI from polysomnography and ApneaBand
Internal reproductibility of AHI measurement by the ApneaBand3 daysReproducibility between different AHI mesures from ApneaBand
Performance of the ApneaBand to mesure the apnea severity3 daysPerformance of the ApneaBand device in detecting sleep apnea according to its severity (2 pre-specified thresholds of AHI: \> 5 and ≥ 30), in comparison with PSG
Sleep stage detection by ApneaBand3 daysTo assess if electrodermal activity assessed by the ApneaBand during sleep is able to differerenciate the different sleep stages
Skin tone variability3 daysTo asses if oxygen saturation assessed by the ApneaBand could be performed in persons with dark skin tones
ApneaBand algorith validation for AHI measurement3 daysExternal validation of the ApneaBand algorithm
