Development of an Artificial Intelligence-Based Model for Assessing the Severity of Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea may affect growth, development, cognitive function, and overall health. Although polysomnography is commonly used for clinical assessment, its application may be limited by time, cost, and accessibility. Recent advances in noninvasive monitoring technologies have provided new possibilities for sleep-related assessment. This study will collect and integrate multiple physiological signals from pediatric participants undergoing routine sleep examinations and to develop a data-driven model for evaluating sleep-related respiratory conditions. Clinical examination results will be used as the reference for model development and validation. The findings of this study are expected to support the development of a convenient and noninvasive approach for pediatric sleep assessment and may provide a reference for future clinical and home-based applications.
