Filter by:The investigators are proposing to use a wearable device, MultiSenseTM, developed by Rhythm Diagnostic Systems, Inc. which has many sensors inside in a "Band-Aid" like strip in order to see if it can help diagnose capabilities in individuals suspected of having obstructive sleep apnea. The MultiSenseTM sensor is a self-contained, reusable, rechargeable, battery-powered, flexible strip, measuring 4 X 1.2 inches that simultaneously tracks and records a number of physiological health related parameters such as ECG, heart rate, pulse synchronized oxygen saturation, temperature, respiratory rate, depth of respiration and motion/position. One advantage of this device over current home diagnostic systems is the capability for recording over several nights. The objective is to compare multiple biometric parameters tracked by the MultiSenseTM to gold standard monitoring in an accredited sleep lab using polysomnography. Home monitoring will explore potential findings supportive of sleep apnea while monitoring at home during routine sleep over 5 to 7 nights. Enrolling 10 adults already scheduled for a medically indicated sleep study will help us to make these determinations. Subjects will wear the device, which is the size of a Band-Aid, via adhesive to their chest over a period of 10 days. Subjects will go about their normal daily activities and return the device via mail once completed.
Sustainable Methods, Algorithms, and Research Tools for Delivering Optimal Care Study (SMART DOCS) was designed to develop and evaluate a new approach (patient-centered outcomes and coordinated-care management [PCCM]) for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. Specialized and pertinent information and resources regarding sleep disorder management were developed and made available through an online portal, allowing patients to make informed health care decisions, and providers to assist patients in achieving what they feel are the most important goals regarding their care. Half of participants were randomized into the conventional diagnosis and treatment (CONV) arm and the other half into the patient-centered outcomes and coordinated-care management (PCCM) arm. Validated objective and subjective assessment measures were administered at intervals throughout a 13 month participation period in both the CONV and PCCM arms to determine whether the new PCCM approach for sleep medicine results in increased patient satisfaction, quality of care, and improved health outcomes. Qualifying participants were 18 years of age or older and presenting with a new sleep disorder. Patients received no monetary compensation.
