This study has been developed in order to demonstrate the validity of the DreamKit respiratory effort signal.
The rationale for undertaking this study is to demonstrate the agreement between the respiratory effort signal amplitude derived from DreamKit vs. the gold-standard esophageal manometry. Data collection will be completed within a single visit, in which participants will undergo simultaneous measurement using the DreamKit device and esophageal manometry. Data collection will be completed during wakefulness, while participants undergo a series of breathing maneuvers.

The DreamKit device is a single-use device intended to aid the diagnosis of sleep-disordered breathing; however, this study is intended only to validate the respiratory effort signal and does not assess diagnostic performance.

Breath Amplitude Correlation
The primary endpoint is the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of the peak-to-peak breath amplitude sequences extracted from the DreamKit and esophageal manometry respiratory effort signals during periods of occluded inspiration, end-expiratory breath holds, increased inspiratory resistance, increased expiratory resistance, and unresisted shallow breathing. The DreamKit Home Sleep Test device's effort signal is an uncalibrated signal. The amplitudes derived from the DreamKit Home Sleep Test device's effort signal were scaled for each subject to have the same variance across all tested breathing maneuvers. The lower-bound of the CI was compared against a target of 0.5.
