Efficient Obstructive Sleep Apnea Diagnosis

This project aims to address the challenges of diagnosing and treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a common medical condition that can have negative health impacts. The current diagnostic methods, such as polysomnography and home sleep apnea tests, lack information on the specific sites and mechanisms of airway obstruction. The proposed solution is the refinement and pre-clinical testing of a device that will provide sleep physicians with targeted information for effective treatment planning. Collaborators: Brian Herrmann, MD and Mark Rentschler, PhD, PE
