About this trial
This study aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model for more accurately diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by collecting blood oxygen saturation and other health information during sleep using a smartwatch.
OSA is common but often underdiagnosed, and the gold-standard diagnostic test, polysomnography, is costly and time-consuming. Smartwatches can provide a variety of health data, such as sleep patterns, blood oxygen saturation, and heart rate, which can help detect key symptoms and signs of OSA.
By developing an AI model that uses smartwatch data to screen for OSA, this study seeks to offer a cost-effective and accessible diagnostic method, ultimately contributing to the early detection and improved treatment rates of OSA.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Men and women aged 22 to 85 years who visited Seoul National University Hospital with suspected sleep apnea due to symptoms such as snoring, apnea, or excessive daytime sleepiness.
Disqualifiers
Patients previously diagnosed with sleep apnea who are currently undergoing treatment (e.g., positive airway pressure [PAP] therapy, mechanical ventilation, oral appliances, or surgery).
Patients with neuromuscular diseases or a history of chronic opioid medication use.
Patients with severe insomnia that is not controlled by medication.
Patients receiving supplemental oxygen therapy due to underlying conditions such as heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, hypoventilation syndrome, or stroke, or whose baseline oxygen saturation is less than 90%.
Trial population
Men and women aged 22 to 85 years who visited Seoul National University Hospital with suspected sleep apnea due to symptoms such as snoring, apnea, or excessive daytime sleepiness.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Predictive Accuracy of the AI Model for Moderate-to-Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Evaluation of how well the AI model, developed using clinical data and smartwatch-recorded information including nocturnal oxygen saturation, predicts moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (defined as apnea-hypopnea index ≥15/hour) diagnosed by polysomnography.
Secondary outcomes
Predictive Accuracy of the Galaxy Watch Sleep Apnea Feature (SAF)
Assessment of the accuracy of the Galaxy Watch's built-in sleep apnea feature (SAF) in predicting moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea diagnosed by polysomnography.
Comparison of AI Model and Galaxy Watch Sleep Apnea Feature (SAF) Performance
Comparison of the predictive performance between the AI model developed in this study and the Galaxy Watch's built-in sleep apnea feature (SAF) for detecting moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea.
Comparison of AI Model and STOP-Bang Questionnaire Performance
Comparison of the predictive performance between the AI model developed in this study and the STOP-Bang questionnaire for detecting moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea.
