Manage episode 401043529 series 3467754
This is One North Stories, an A*START CENTRAL Podcast
William (Billy) Hanes, Wyle Solomon and Adam Williamson join to share about Somnial. They have developed and are testing a bioelectronic, wearable device as an alternative to the CPAP machine. Wyle represented the team through the Slingshot 2023 competition at SWITCH, garnering judges support as one of two finalists in the Health and BioMedical Category.
Somnial, founded in 2022 is undergoing clinical trials and the team is working to downsize the driving electronics. This is envisioned as electronic patches for nerve stimulation driven by an electronics box. It moves the tongue to open a breathing pathway. Sleep Apnea is estimated to affect 1 billion people worldwide and represents a huge market, but this is just the beginning for Somnial’s technology.
