Abstract: Study objective: This study aimed to prospectively validate the performance of an artificially augmented home sleep apnea testing device (WVU-device) and its patented technology. Methodology: The WVU-device, utilizing patent pending (US 20210001122A) technology and an algorithm derived from cardio-pulmonary physiological parameters, comorbidities, and anthropological information was prospectively compared with a commercially available and Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) approved home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) device. The WVU-device and the HSAT device were applied on separate hands of the patient during a single night study. The oxygen desaturation index (ODI) obtained from the WVU-device was compared to the respiratory event index (REI) derived from the HSAT device. Results: A total of 78 consecutive patients were included in the prospective study. Of the 78 patients, 38 (48%) were women and 9 (12%) had a Fitzpatrick score of 3 or higher. The ODI obtained from the WVU-device corelated well with the HSAT device, and no significant bias was observed in the Bland-Altman curve. The accuracy for ODI > = 5 and REI > = 5 was 87%, for ODI> = 15 and REI > = 15 was 89% and for ODI> = 30 and REI of > = 30 was 95%. The sensitivity and specificity for these ODI /REI cut-offs were 0.92 and 0.78, 0.91 and 0.86, and 0.94 and 0.95, respectively. Conclusion: The WVU-device demonstrated good accuracy in predicting REI when compared to an approved HSAT device, even in patients with darker skin tones.
