Full Title of Study: “Validation of Downloadable Mobile Snore Applications by Polysomnography”

Study Type

  • Study Type: Observational
  • Study Design
    • Time Perspective: Prospective
  • Study Primary Completion Date: August 31, 2020

Detailed Description

Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) is characterized by multiple episodes of upper airway collapse during sleep and considered as a major health issue worldwide due to comorbidity with obesity, hypertension, diabetes and more advanced cardiovascular diseases. The noisy sounds of snoring caused by OSA bother bed partner sleepless and lead to long-term health problems. Mobile snore applications are convenient and accessible for patients to monitor the progress of OSA by themselves, but there are no reliable PSG-validated applications.

Interventions

  • Diagnostic Test: SnoreLab (smart phone application for snoring recording)
    • The investigators selected 3 appropriate downloadable smart phone applications for snoring recording and make validation with the golden standard of polysomnography.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • obstructive sleep apnea group
    • The patients were diagnosed by thoracic and ENT (Eye-Nose-Throat) specialist through polysomnography.
