Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious respiratory condition that causes sufferers to repeatedly stop breathing while they are asleep, usually due to obstruction of the airway. The main symptoms include loud snoring, making choking noises while you sleep, or feeling very tired during the day. It can affect people of any age or gender. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, being overweight, and a lack of exercise can all increase the risk of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can have serious health implications if left untreated, so you should contact your doctor if you are concerned.
AcuPebble SA100 works on the principle of acoustic sensing of physiological body sounds, such as respiratory and cardiac processes. Our algorithms process the recorded signals to extract information for a sleep apnea diagnosis.
AcuPebble SA100 is CE marked for the automated diagnosis of sleep apnea in adults. If a patient has a known allergy to medical/surgical adhesives, it is at the discretion of the healthcare professional whether to recommend the device’s use, given the possibility of a, generally mild, allergic reaction.
