Fitbit Sleep Apnea Alert Software Validation Study

This clinical validation study aims to evaluate the utility of Fitbit's Sleep Apnea Alert
software for minimally invasive monitoring of sleep apnea events to alert users of their risk
of sleep apnea. The Sleep Apnea Alert software analyses data from a Fitbit commercially
available wrist photoplethysmogram (PPG) device. The Sleep Apnea Alert software is an
investigational software as medical device (SaMD) and is designed to retrospectively process
data and flag users in which have physiological signals consistent with subjects who have an
apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 10 or greater. This clinical validation study will be used to
validate Fitbit's PPGbased sleep apnea algorithm. The outputs of the Fitbit Sleep Apnea Alert
software will not be available to study participants, as the scope of this study is to gather
validation data only and does not include testing product usability components.
