Our innovative module can provide reference parameters, which make it possible to directly estimate the objective absolute values of relevant oropharyngeal structures. Our non-invasive approach can be used for outpatient screening, since it allows the identification of potential OSAS patients who should be referred for polysomnography, as many patients do not require DISE early in their evaluation.
