Abstract

STUDY OBJECTIVES: This paper validates TipTraQ, a compact home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) system. TipTraQ comprises a fingertip-worn device, a mobile application, and a cloud-based deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) system. The device utilizes photoplethysmography (red, infrared, and green channels) and accelerometer sensors to assess sleep apnea by the AI system.
