ECG-based artificial intelligence for obstructive sleep apnea detection: a mechanism-oriented diagnostic meta-analysis.

Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung·September 16, 2026·PMID 42747635

Why it matters

ECG-based AI could enable accessible, cost-effective OSA screening, especially where polysomnography is limited. Understanding that models detect autonomic responses rather than obstruction clarifies their potential role and limitations in clinical workflows.
