PAP-NAP Device Clinical Study
Sponsor: ResMed
Summary
This exploratory pilot study will evaluate the usability and short-term tolerability of the APL wearable positive airway pressure (PAP) device in adults during a supervised daytime nap session in a simulated sleep environment. The study is designed to assess participant experience with the investigational wearable PAP device, including comfort, fit and seal, perceived weight, ease of use, and ability to fall asleep while using the device. Participants will attend a supervised PAP-Nap session where they will use the wearable PAP device while resting or attempting to sleep. Study staff will also observe sleep-related behaviours, including sleep onset and session completion. Information collected from this study will help inform future development and refinement of wearable PAP technologies intended for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

APL Device
The investigational intervention is a prototype wearable positive airway pressure (PAP) device designed as a compact, head-worn continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) system for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Participants will use the device during a supervised daytime nap session in a simulated bedroom environment to evaluate usability and short-term tolerability, including comfort, seal, perceived weight, ease of use, and ability to initiate sleep.
