Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention is wearing of a Patient Positioning Sensor device, worn overnight for sleep, around the neck to or body, on a daily basis for 6 weeks to 6 months, until completion of repeat polysomnography (sleep study). The device vibrates when the wearer is sleeping on their back, and stops vibrating once the wearer changes their sleep position.

Participants/parents/caregivers will receive an introduction and training on how to use the sensor, in the form of a one-on-one face-to-face 20-min consultation at the beginning of the intervention period, by a qualified paediatric sleep physician, scientist or nurse who will provide this i.e. administer the intervention. A paediatric sleep physician will have oversight and responsibility as Principal Investigator.

Adherence (device use) will be monitored using inbuilt adherence monitoring from the device (device analytics), which can be downloaded and printed out.
