We conduct research projects with children with a primary goal to improve clinical care for families. One of our studies will evaluate if a home parent-taken 2 minute video is a good enough indicator of severity of sleep apnea compared to full sleep study in hospital. Another study will examine if we can predict, based on body measures, the nasopharynx depth. This may help when a swab test to sample the nasopharynx is being performed.
