Smartwatch-Based Artificial Intelligence Model for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Prediction
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.
• 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.
