Positional Sleep Apnea Therapy

Information for Patients

The Night Shift is a patented, clinically-proven therapy for patients with positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) that can be worn around the neck or chest.
‍
After allowing the user time to fall asleep in any position, it begins to gently vibrate when the user attempts to back-sleep. The vibration then gradually increases in intensity until the user changes position.

Night Shift is an intelligent, interactive monitor that also allows patients and clinicians to track sleep quality and therapeutic effectiveness via the Night Shift application on iOS & Android devices or a web-based portal.

Night Shift can also be combined with a wrist oximeter to screen for POSA and/or assess the benefits of combination therapy.  

Supine sleep impacts over 70% of patients diagnosed with mild, moderate or severe OSA

55% of PAP-intolerant patients would benefit from supine avoidance alone or in combination with oral appliance therapy

Features

Comprehensive reports provide an in-depth look at your patient’s sleep quality and behavioral adaptation:
  • Monitor how efficiently the user slept and the degree of sleep fragmentation
  • Assess the association between loud snoring and sleep quality
  • Determine if snoring and poor sleep quality is limited to back-sleeping
  • Track behavioral adaptation to position therapy
  • Compare the effectiveness of other OSA or snoring therapies with and without position therapy

Clinical results have shown:

  • 90% of POSA participants responded to Night Shift therapy with a median AHI reduction of 79%
  • Participants had significantly less sleep fragmentation and hypoxemia, slept more deeply, and with reduced time snoring
  • A majority of participants experienced less daytime sleepiness and depression symptoms
  • 88% of patients used Night Shift regularly, and 71% used it a minimum of 4 hours every night
