The current gold standard for assessment of obstructive sleep apnea is the in-laboratory polysomnography. This approach has high costs and inconveniences the patient, whereas alternative ambulatory systems are limited by reduced diagnostic abilities (type 4 monitors, 1 or 2 channels) or extensive setup (type 3 monitors, at least 4 channels). The current study therefore aims to validate a simplified automated type 4 monitoring system using tracheal body sound and movement data.
