Flagship Clinical & Academic Research Projects

Translational research initiatives addressing sleep disordered breathing, circadian health, and regional disease burdens.

Epidemiological Registry

SRNI Multicentric Sleep Registry

Nationwide registry collecting polysomnographic data, nocturnal hypoxemic burden, and cardiovascular comorbidities across Indian tertiary sleep centers.

Clinical Validation

General Practice Sleep Scale (GPSS)

Development and clinical validation of a 9-item simplified risk-assessment screening tool for obstructive sleep apnea tailored for primary healthcare clinics.

Diagnostic Study

Hypoxemic Burden Beyond AHI

Multicenter investigation analyzing nocturnal oxygen desaturation parameters and anthropometric markers to stratify cardiovascular risk beyond conventional AHI.

Therapeutics & PAP

CPAP Titration & PLMS Unmasking Registry

Longitudinal clinical trial evaluating continuous positive airway pressure response and the unmasking of periodic limb movements during sleep.

Pediatric Health

South Asian Pediatric Sleep Survey

Cross-sectional cohort study assessing sleep duration, digital screen exposure, and school-time sleep debt among children and adolescents in metropolitan zones.

Public Health

Commercial Driver OSA Screening Initiative

Occupational sleep safety initiative conducting portable sleep screening and vigilance testing among commercial heavy vehicle drivers.

Academic Consortium

Sleep Research Network of India (SRNI)

The Sleep Research Network of India (SRNI) was established under the aegis of SEAASM to unite pulmonologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, pediatricians, and sleep technologists under a unified collaborative research infrastructure. SRNI facilitates standardized data collection protocols, ethical oversight, and cross-border knowledge exchange.
