KAI Medical specializes in the development of sleep apnea therapy, sleep monitors, and non-contact respiratory monitoring devices.
Current methods of treating OSA include surgery, oral and nasal devices, invasive face masks, and bulky machines. KAI Medical is committed to providing alternative treatment methods to these current invasive and inconvenient treatments available.
Kai Medical improves the quality of life of people with respiratory ailments, including sleep apnea, by developing and marketing products that are more efficient, comfortable, and effective.
The KAI Apnea system is a home-based, medical system used
to treat adults diagnosed with OSA. The system monitors the
patients breathing while they sleep to detect an apnea event.
When an event is detected, the system activates a vibrating
adhesive patch worn on the neck to restore breathing. The device is designed to improve sleep quality by reducing the number and duration of apnea events that prevent normal breathing and disrupt sleep.
Features:
* Efficient, comfortable, CPAP alternative
* No masks, no hoses, no oral devices
* Breathe easily, comfortably, naturally
* For adults with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The Kai 100 System
The KAI Apnea system is a home-based, medical system used to treat adults diagnosed with OSA. The system monitors the patients breathing while they sleep to detect an apnea event. When an event is detected, the system activates a vibrating adhesive patch worn on the neck to restore breathing. The device is designed to improve sleep quality by reducing the number and duration of apnea events that prevent normal breathing and disrupt sleep
Kia Apnea Components
The components operate together to monitor and detect sleep apnea events. Upon detection of an event, the sensor processing unit (pictured below) sends a signal to theadhesive neck patch (pictured top right), triggering a vibratory stimulus at increasing frequency and pulse durations to create a reflex reaction that opens the airway, and restores normal respiration without disrupting the patient from sleep. The KAI Apnea system provides comfortable, non-invasive sleep apnea treatment without surgery, medication, or continuous application of air pressure. It monitors breathing and apnea activity continuously and applies treatment only during an actual apnea event.
Kia Apnea Clinical Study
In a recent clinical study, Kai Apnea device users had an average of
46% Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) reduction compared to device
off nights, with the number of arousals as measured by the Arousal
Index (AI) also improving
