Platform Linked to Ring Pulse Oximeter Monitors, Analyzes Night-to-Night Sleep Metrics

SAN FRANCISCO — In two trials for sleep-related breathing diseases, a software platform analyzed nightly sleep metrics from a ring pulse oximeter, according to a presentation at the American Thoracic Society International Conference.“[With this platform,] everyday clinicians will be able to focus more time on patient care and use data-generated insights to inform the care team on what really matters prior to a patient visit,” Ketan Mehta, MS, head of product and engineering for Connected Wearables at Apnimed, told Healio.In this analysis, Mehta and colleagues evaluated patients with sleep-related breathing diseases enrolled in either an ongoing open-label study of AD019 (Apnimed; n = 392) or an ongoing CPAP adherence feasibility study (n = 31), both of which used the Connected Wearables platform consisting of a mobile app for the patient, cloud services and a portal/dashboard with advanced algorithms for the clinician.
