Central Apnoea Monitor Study

March 9, 2026 updated by: Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust

Feasibility Study to Evaluate a New Wearable Wireless Device for Monitoring Central Apnoeas in Infants and Children

An initial small study on 15 children that are already being investigated for central sleep apnoea in the sleep unit at Sheffield Children's Hospital. The central apnoea monitor will be placed around the child's abdomen overnight alongside the sensors already being used for the clinical sleep study and the signals from the two systems will be compared to evaluate the accuracy of the new device.
