Project description
Non-invasive sleep apnea therapy
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by intermittent periods of disrupted breathing that cause people to wake up during sleep. Sleep apnea is a major comorbidity of cardiovascular disease, and a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes, stroke, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation, among other conditions. Gold standard therapy uses airway pressure devices causing discomfort to patients as it requires wearing a mask all night. Funded by the European Innovation Council, the SUNRISE Tx project proposes the first truly non-invasive, affordable, and readily accessible treatment to sleep apnea. The SUNRISE Tx system is a wearable device involving no nasal obstruction and using personalized muscle stimulation to prevent airways from collapsing during sleep.
Objective
Sunrise is a leading researcher and developer of solutions for diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea. Our goal is to develop and commercialise Sunrise Tx, the first truly non-invasive, affordable and readily accessible solution to treat sleep apnea. This is to address the 80% treatment gap of sleep apnea sufferers who fail to access treatment due to high costs and long waiting times for diagnosis. Also, even within those diagnosed, at least 35% fail to comply with wearing a mask all night strapped tightly to the face, blowing air to clear airways for breathing due to the associated discomfort. In contrast Sunrise Tx is a wearable device involving no nasal obstruction. Sunrise Tx is set to improve treatment access, compliance, cost and accuracy.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
