Signifier Medical Technologies LLC is teaming up with Sunrise, a health tech company that offers a quick and easy way to help in the diagnosis of sleep apnea from home. The collaboration combines Sunrise’s artificial intelligence solutions and the technologies of daytime sleep apnea therapy, eXciteOSA, to improve patient care through more efficient diagnostics and treatments.
Founded in 2015, Sunrise aims to democratize access to care for sleep apnea syndrome by bringing clinical quality directly into the patient’s home. Its artificial intelligence-powered technology analyses a new signal on the human body, mandibular jaw movements, and other standard apnea signals, from a single sensor simply placed on the chin.
“We are excited to partner with Signifier Medical Technologies, starting with the U.K. market, and offer our home sleep test to more patients suffering from OSA,” Sunrise CEO Laurent Martinot said.
The integrated solutions of Sunrise’s customized personal home sleep testing and Signifier Medical’s patient management portal will enable healthcare providers to gather comprehensive data on their patients’ day-to-day clinical experiences while providing tools for them to understand the unique needs of each individual better and optimize patient outcomes. With a common goal of improving patients’ lives through better sleep, Signifier Medical and Sunrise hope to create a future where better healthcare is available for all.
“We look forward to offering this innovative home sleep test to provide millions of patients suffering from OSA with easier access to diagnostics and personalized treatment,” Signifier Medical Co-Founder/CEO Akhil Tripathi stated.
eXciteOSA is a daytime therapy for sleep-disordered breathing. Clinically proven to target a common root cause of OSA, eXciteOSA uses neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to “exercise” the upper airway muscles, working the intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles to improve endurance and prevent airway collapse during sleep. Unlike other devices which are used while patients sleep, eXciteOSA is the first commercially available device used while awake.
Signifier is a pioneer in addressing the root causes of sleep-disordered breathing. The company is developing and commercializing non-invasive solutions to help people breathe normally and naturally all night – without needing to use a wearable medical device or a surgical implant. Founded in 2015, Signifier has offices in London and Needham, Mass.
