About this trial
The objective of this project is to gather research data and subsequently evaluate algorithms to demonstrate clinical efficacy of a novel sleep apnoea detection system in the paediatric population.
The Study will involve patients who will have been referred for diagnosis of sleep apnoea, and the ultimate aim will be to compare the output of a novel apnoea detection system against in -clinic polysomnography.
