Diagnostic Accuracy of Smartwatches for Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (P9-14.009)
Key Points
This study aims to assess how well smartwatches can detect obstructive sleep apnea compared to traditional polysomnography.
Conducted a systematic review of existing studies
Performed a meta-analysis to summarize findings
Compared data from smartwatches and polysomnography for obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis.
Smartwatches demonstrated varying levels of accuracy in detecting obstructive sleep apnea compared to polysomnography.
Some smartwatch models performed well but details on sensitivity and specificity varied across studies.
Abstract
The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the performance of smartwatches in detecting obstructive sleep apnea compared with polysomnography.
