Signifier Medical Technologies

Working with a multidisciplinary team, eXciteOSA® co-founder Professor Akhil Tripathi, was deeply empathetic with many patients who struggle with conventional treatment options for Sleep Disordered Breathing which have failed to change in the last two decades.

Professor Tripathi is a serial medical device entrepreneur with experience bringing innovative products to medical practice improving patients’ lives.

As an innovator, Professor Tripathi is committed to revolutionizing healthcare with truly creative approaches and not merely optimizing existing approaches to their next evolution.

There are many devices for Sleep Disordered Breathing. All of which have problems:

• They had to be worn during sleep
• Many were invariably uncomfortable
• Only treated the symptom, not the cause
• Only effective when in use
• Further disrupted the already poor sleep quality
• Only temporarily alleviated the problem

Wanting to disrupt this dependence on products that have to be worn during sleep, Professor Tripathi developed the world’s first, unique daytime treatment for sleep disordered breathing – eXciteOSA^® .

Three years of devoted effort by many highly skilled professionals from sleep medicine, maxilofacial surgery, product development, medical engineering, software engineers and regulatory experts, has led to a simple, intuitive, non-intrusive and safe product that is clinically proven to treat the root cause of sleep disordered breathing.
