Abstract
Objective: To validate the performance of a single-belt type 3 portable monitor Alice NightOne for diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea and its reliability in remote data transmission.
Methods: Our study included two parts: in-laboratory Alice NightOne (ANO) monitoring (ANOlab) and home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) using ANO (ANOhome). For ANOlab, the participants underwent polysomnography (PSG) with ANOlab simultaneously. For ANOhome, the participants completed unattended overnight ANOhome out of sleep center and PSG was performed in another night. The ANO recordings were transmitted to cloud database wirelessly in addition to traditional wire transmission. Message digest-5 (MD5) algorithm was utilized to verify the integrity of the cloud data.
Results: Ninety-one ANOlab and 170 ANOhome recordings were analyzed. Both the respiratory event index (REI) on ANOlab and that on ANOhome were lower than the corresponding apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) on PSG (24.9 ± 20.5 events/h vs 31.6 ± 25.0 events/h, and 26.7 ± 17.0 events/h vs 35.3 ± 21.2 events/h respectively, P < 0.001). Bland-Altman analysis of REI on ANOlab versus AHI on PSG showed a mean difference (95% confidence interval) of -6.7 (-8.4, -4.9) events/h. For REI on ANOhome versus AHI on PSG, the difference is -8.0 (-9.9, -6.0) events/h. With threshold of REI ≥ 5 events/h for OSA diagnosis, ANOhome had 98.8% sensitivity, 90.0% specificity, 99.4% positive predictive value. The MD5 algorithm verified the identity between uploaded cloud data and original data.
Conclusion: With single thoracoabdominal belt, Alice NightOne can help diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea with good sensitivity and specificity, though it may underestimate AHI. Furthermore, it provides reliable support based on solid data teletransmission and scoring synchronization, which may increase the ability of diagnosis and management of OSA through telemedicine.

The functions of sleep in humans and other animals
Physiological and neurophysiological changes with sleep
The genetics of sleep and sleep differences
The neurotransmitters, receptors and pathways involved in controlling both sleep and wakefulness
Behavioral and pharmacological interventions aimed at improving sleep, and improving wakefulness
Sleep changes with development and with age
Sleep and reproduction (e.g., changes across the menstrual cycle, with pregnancy and menopause)
The science and nature of dreams
Sleep disorders
Impact of sleep and sleep disorders on health, daytime function and quality of life
Sleep problems secondary to clinical disorders
Interaction of society with sleep (e.g., consequences of shift work, occupational health, public health)
The microbiome and sleep
Chronotherapy
Impact of circadian rhythms on sleep, physiology, cognition and health
Mechanisms controlling circadian rhythms, centrally and peripherally
Impact of circadian rhythm disruptions (including night shift work, jet lag and social jet lag) on sleep, physiology, cognition and health
Behavioral and pharmacological interventions aimed at reducing adverse effects of circadian-related sleep disruption
Assessment of technologies and biomarkers for measuring sleep and/or circadian rhythms
Epigenetic markers of sleep or circadian disruption.
