Signifier Medical is a pioneer in addressing the root causes of sleep-disordered breathing. We are focused on the development and commercialization of innovative and non-invasive solutions that help people breathe normally and naturally all night - entirely on their own. Founded in 2015, Signifier is at the forefront of sleep therapy, with a mission to develop therapies that improve population health, increase the quality of patients’ experience and generate healthcare savings.
The first of its kind, eXciteOSA is an FDA-authorized, non-invasive daytime treatment for snoring and mild OSA. Unlike other treatment options, this does not require a nighttime wearable, which allows patients to conveniently fit therapy into their daily routine. The therapy works by using neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to build the endurance of the genioglossus muscle so that the tongue doesn’t collapse into the airway during sleep. The eXciteOSA device is used for only 20 minutes per day for six weeks and then a minimum of twice per week thereafter for maintenance.
