Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Sleep apnea is when your breathing stops and starts while you sleep. The most common type is called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
This study is aimed at assessing the accuracy of a new non-invasive, continuous, wrist-worn and wireless monitoring PPG device (Corsano CardioWatch 287) in measuring respiration rate and pulse rate at rest.

Who can participate?
Adults suspected for obstructive sleep apnea and healthy volunteers.

What does the study involve?
All participants receive respiration rate and heart rate monitoring simultaneously by a wrist-worn wearable and by respiratory polygraphy, which includes wearing bands around the chest and abdomen, and a pulse-oximeter. The measurements last one full night.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
There are no direct benefits for the participants involved, since the measurements by the investigational device will not be consulted for diagnosis. There are no direct risks for the participants involved.

Where is the study run from?
Department of Sleep Medicine, Haaglanden Clinics, Nieuwe Parklaan 11, The Hague, The Netherlands

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
September 2020 to March 2021

Who is funding the study?
Corsano Health B.V. (unrestricted grant)

Scientific titleContinuous respiration rate monitoring using photoplethysmography technology in patients with obstructive sleep apnea
Study objectivesThe mean absolute error and root mean square deviation of respiration rate measured by the Corsano CardioWatch 287 compared to respiratory polygraphy are hypothesized to be less than 1 breath per minute.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 22/10/2020, Medisch Ethische Toetsingscommissie AMC (Meibergdreef 9

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedObstructive sleep apnea
InterventionSubjects with and without diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) will undergo simultaneous, continuous overnight PPG and respiratory polygraphy (RP), which includes respiratory inductance plethysmography and pulse-oximetry, for one night. The PPG sensor’s respiration rate and pulse rate measurement accuracy will be assessed through Bland Altman and correlation analysis.
