ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES IN WEARABLE FOR SLEEP APNEA DIAGNOSIS: A REVIEW

Öz

This article provides a comprehensive assessment of the literature regarding the application of wearable devices that incorporate essential metrics of traditional polysomnography (PSG) for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). While PSG serves as a standard, it entails several disadvantages, including exorbitant expenses, lengthy processes, limited accessibility, and patient discomfort. Recent innovations in wearable and portable devices enable continuous monitoring of biophysiological parameters such as heart rate, blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂), respiratory rate, body movements, and sleep position, offering accessible, user-friendly, and economical alternatives. Commercial devices like the WatchPAT, Belun Ring, and NightOwl demonstrate moderate to strong correlations with polysomnography in key metrics, including the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and oxygen desaturation index (ODI). The existing limitations include the inability to precisely measure airflow, a limited number of EEG/EMG channels, low accuracy in sleep stage classification, inconsistent algorithmic performance, and insufficient clinical validation. As a result, these devices are primarily utilized as pre-diagnostic screening tools. The integration of artificial intelligence, particularly deep learning analysis, presents significant opportunities for enhancing diagnostic precision and clinical reliability. AI-driven models that evaluate sleep stages, detect improper sensor installation, and analyze multimodal biomarkers are improving data quality and patient compliance. Moreover, contactless measurement technologies, mobile health applications, and multimodal data fusion are enhancing the integration of polysomnography (PSG) and home sleep apnea testing (HSAT). In the future, hybrid models incorporating smaller sensors, automated AI-driven analytics, and interactive user interfaces are expected to play a more prominent role in clinical practice, providing scalable and efficient alternatives to traditional PSG.
