A few snippets re OSA and CPAP. If this isn't one of the largest opportunities for innovation, I don't know what is..........

Studies suggest that from one-third to more than 50% of patients either stop using their CPAP machine or never bother to fill their prescription. They quit for a variety of reasons, but mostly because the device can be cumbersome and uncomfortable.

The rate of CPAP adherence remains persistently low over twenty years worth of reported data. No clinically significant improvement in CPAP adherence was seen even in recent years despite efforts toward behavioral intervention and patient coaching. This low rate of adherence is problematic, and calls into question the concept of CPAP as gold-standard of therapy for OSA.

A massive market awaits for struggling CPAP users and the unmet needs of non users. I bet a pill is preferable for even those who tolerate CPAP.
