Problem
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often exacerbated when sleeping on one's back, as the tongue and soft palate can collapse and obstruct the airway. Current treatments are often uncomfortable, expensive, or ineffective, leading to poor adherence and continued health risks.
Solution
SleepDev is developing WhisperPT, a novel positional therapy device designed to help individuals with OSA avoid sleeping on their backs. The in-ear device uses gentle sound cues to prompt users to adjust their sleeping position when they roll onto their back, guiding them to sleep on their side without waking them. By encouraging side sleeping, WhisperPT aims to reduce apnea events and improve breathing during sleep. The device is engineered to be small and comfortable, fitting discreetly in the ear, and offers customizable settings to align with individual sleep patterns.
Target Audience
The primary target audience is individuals suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are seeking a comfortable, inexpensive, and effective alternative to traditional treatments.
