Non-invasive Device for the Screening and Diagnosis of Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Non-invasive Device for the Screening and Diagnosis of Sleep Apnea Syndrome

This prospective study aims to establish and evaluate a predictive model to diagnose OSA with maxillofacial characteristics 3D acquisition.

Polysomnography is the gold-standard for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis. However, OSA is still undiagnosed. Maxillofacial profile can influence OSA severity. Morphological characteristics can be identified but are not enough measurable and analysable by physicians. 3D acquisition of maxillofacial characteristics with a user-friendly tool, quick and low-priced could be used to obtain a predictive model as an OSA risk indicator. Thus, the aim of this study is to establish and evaluate a predictive model to diagnose OSA with maxillofacial characteristics 3D acquisition.
