Screening for obstructive sleep apnea with novel hybrid acoustic smartphone app technology.

Conclusions: The "Firefly" app based sensing technology offers the potential to significantly lower the barrier of entry to OSA screening, as no hardware (other than the user's personal smartphone) is required. Additionally, multi-night analysis is possible in the home environment, without requiring the wearing of a portable PSG or other home sleep test (HST). PMID: 32944361 [PubMed]
