Sleep Diagnostics and Monitoring Technology in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Objective This article helps neurologists understand modern approaches to diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea, including the clinical role and limitations of home sleep apnea testing, and learn how they can integrate wearable and noncontact technologies into patient care to improve diagnostic efficiency, monitor treatment, and reduce health disparities. Latest developments Advances in home sleep apnea testing have expanded beyond traditional type III monitors to include wearable devices such as wrist sensors and…
AI software-as-a-medical-device platforms cleared since 2019 that estimate sleep parameters improve accessibility to obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis for patients unable or unwilling to undergo in-laboratory polysomnography.
AI-enabled sleep estimation tools raise concerns about racial bias in pulse oximetry, regulatory gaps, variable accuracy, and privacy, requiring further validation to ensure equitable and reliable clinical use.
Accuracy and validation vary across wearable and nearable technologies, with noted racial bias in pulse oximetry, regulatory gaps, and privacy concerns requiring further validation before equitable clinical use.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0644 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
