Key Opinion Leaders include top-tier physicians in key sleep therapeutic areas, including pulmonologists, cardiologists, neurologists and ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialists from leading health academies and institutions in North America, Europe and Australia. Signifier Medical Technologies is working with these medical professionals to build a large acceptance of the efficacy and the safety of this new technology and create a large multi-center clinical dataset that will further expand on the recent trials in Europe and United States.
Professor Atul Malhotra, Chief Investigator at the University of California – San Diego for Snoozeal® mentioned the enthusiasm for having a new technology in this space. “I have been involved with the Snoozeal® device and have been doing ongoing research on this treatment. I am optimistic that this treatment will be an important treatment approach for patients with snoring and with mild sleep apnoea.”
“I have been very surprised by this device. The feedback and adherence from patients have been excellent, reporting an improvement in their snoring. The integration between the app and the device work is smooth, easy, and intuitive.” Dr. Peter M Baptista, MD, Ph.D. mentioned after using the device in some of his patients in Clínica Universidad de Navarra.
