Sleep apnea (OSA) screening leaderboard

MESA: AHI R²

2 reported results for sleep apnea (OSA) screening on MESA, ranked by AHI R². Top reported: Dense temporal FCN + metamodel (0.83). Every row cites its source…

Last updated

These are research results as reported by each study, shown for education. A wearable or model result is not a diagnosis; talk to a clinician about a sleep study if you have concerns about sleep apnea.

This page ranks every result ChatPPG has recorded for sleep apnea (OSA) screening on MESA, measured by AHI estimation R² (fraction of variance) (higher is better). Each number is copied from the publication cited in its row, and ranks apply only within this dataset and metric and this protocol group.

Evaluation protocol: Agreement between the estimated and the PSG/HSAT-scored apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).
