Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The Bonsai system consists of a small sensor device which is placed on the fingertip, the Bonsai Sensor, and a cloud-based analytics platform, the Bonsai software. The Bonsai system is able to derive diagnostic parameters recommended by The AASM Manual for the Scoring of Sleep and Associated Events for home sleep apnea testing utilizing peripheral arterial tonometry and was validated against in-laboratory polysomnography (PSG).

The purpose of this protocol is to assess the Bonsai Sensor signal parameters and may compare different builds or design iterations. For the purpose of this study the Bonsai sensors are not used to screen nor diagnose Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). One build of the sensor may be sampled and evaluated for each sub-study. Alternatively, a sub-study may compare sensors sampled from different build or design iterations. If different builds or iterations are tested in the same sub-study the participants will wear the different types on the same hand (e.g. one on the middle finger and another type on the index finger). Alternatively, the same test protocol may be repeated for different builds. Each sub-study protocol will determine the need for assessing specific build(s)/design iteration (e.g. extent of design modification). Examples of different builds/design iterations to be assessed may include newly commissioned manufacturing lines, new vendors for parts supplied or minor change in manufacturing processes or design of specific parts. The engineering team will assess the extent of the impact and need for testing on participants in addition to engineering bench testing. The way the participants are required to apply or use the device is not expected to be different in sub-protocols.

Each participant will apply 2 sensors to the same hand, one on the index finger and one on the middle finger of the left or right hand, and connect each sensor to the Bonsai smartphone app to perform overnight recordings. Each participant will test a total of 6 sensors over 3 nights. Recorded data will be analysed by the currently released algorithm. In the case of unsuccessful recordings, participants will be asked to try to repeat the recordings for additional 2 nights maximum. Instructions will be provided to the participants via the smartphone app and the study specific instructions sheet.

Sub-studies under this protocol are estimated to be run for 4-8 weeks from recruitment to all participants completing the sub-study. This study is going to be conducted remotely or face to face by Medical Affairs department of ResMed, with recruitment activities run across Australia. Participants with or without diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea will be screened and enrolled.

Participants may take part in multiple sub-studies however will not be asked to use the sensor for more than 5 nights consecutively (i.e.., the involvement in 2 sub-studies will not be one after the other without a break in between).

Early detection / Screening
Comparator / control treatment
A sub-study may compare sensors sampled from different builds or design iterations.
Each sub-study protocol will specify the details of the comparison (e.g. comparison between 2 different design iterations against specifications: or comparison of one build/design iteration against specific criteria).
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 335779 0
Percentages of successful recordings that do not need to be repeated.

The Bonsai app has internal algorithm to determine if recordings of a night is successful based on e.g. duration of recording and characteristics of raw signals and inform the participants about the need for re-recording.
Timepoint [1] 335779 0
After 3 nights of successful recordings, or to a max of 5 nights if any of the recordings are unsuccessful and need to be repeated.
Primary outcome [2] 338397 0
Review of the signals recorded when relevant (e.g. Incomplete recordings)

The Bonsai app has internal algorithm to determine if recordings of a night is successful based on e.g. duration of recording and characteristics of raw signals and inform the participants about the need for re-recording. If recording of a specific night were deemed unsuccessful by the app, it will be classified as incomplete. Recordings will be collected and hosted in the Bonsai cloud platform and will only have de-identified participant information.

Data sharing statement
Will individual participant data (IPD) for this trial be available (including data dictionaries)?
No
No/undecided IPD sharing reason/comment
The study may reveal participants having undiagnosed OSA or suboptimal treatment (if the participant had prior diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and were on Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) when joined the study). In both situations the study researchers will provide further instructions for the participants to seek advice from their healthcare providers (HCP) to be assessed. They will be given reports from the Bonsai system to bring to their HCPs.
Other than situations described above data collected for the study will not be shared with the participants or externally. The study will follow the usual privacy and confidentiality in the protocol and relevant guidelines.
