NightBalance Lunoa

Sleep position therapy device for sleep apnea patients now available commercially

After launching the NightBalance Lunoa sleep position therapy device for patients with obstructive sleep apnea in select markets in 2018, Philips has now launched the product commercially. The product is a mask-free, clinically-validated positional therapy that uses gentle vibrations to encourage users to alter their sleeping positions to help prevent apneas. Philips has updated the technology to include wireless connectivity and a mobile app that monitors use and provides patients and doctors with access to data via a cloud-based system. The company cites several clinical studies that included patient feedback on NightBalance, including their views that the product was easier to use and more comfortable than other PAP therapy methods.
