WhisperPT is based on the simple concept
that patients with OSA deserve
a treatment that is
comfortable, inexpensive, and effective.

Sleeping on their back increases OSA events
For most OSA sufferers, sleeping on their back will cause their tongues and soft palates to fall to the back of the throat and block their airway.

Positional therapy opens their airway, reducing apnea events and severity
Positional therapy (PT) keeps OSA sufferers sleeping on their side where the tongue and soft palate can stay clear of their airway, allowing them to breathe more freely.
We are developing a positional therapy device using sound cues
Our patent-pending technology uses sound cues to notify sleepers when they roll onto and stop on their back. Since people primarily roll while in a light sleep, which is also when they are responsive to sound, our technology is designed to play soft notification sounds and guide them off their back without waking them.

WhisperPT has not yet been cleared by the FDA
We have developed multiple functional prototypes of WhisperPT, and the latest versions have successfully passed Phase 1 testing. Upon completion of Phase 2 internal testing, we will proceed to clinical trials and submit a 510(k) application to the FDA.
Until WhisperPT receives FDA clearance, it cannot be sold in the United States.
