Clinical trial at the NHS Royal Free Hospital (UK)
Compared AcuPebble to at-home multi-channel polygraphy followed by sleep specialist manual signal interpretation, the current ambulatory gold standard (powered sample of 150 patients). This trial proved:
- Equivalence to current ambulatory gold standard for sleep apnea detection based on AHI and ODI with 3% and 4% desaturation criteria (94% PPV, 98% NPV).
- AcuPebble can be used at home, with 100% of patients able to complete the test without training or assistance.
- Results published in the BMJ Open.
Clinical trial at the NHS National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (UK)
Compared earlier AcuPebble version to Polysomnography software during in-clinic sleep test (30 subjects). This trial showed:
- 90% apnea detection agreement with sleep specialist vs. Polysomnography software 12% agreement (7x more accurate).
- AcuPebble correctly detected 100% of cases of moderate and severe sleep apnea.
- Results published by BMJ Open in 2014.
