Somnium

CPAP Machine Redesign

Millions of individuals worldwide rely on CPAP machines to manage sleep apnea. Yet, current designs are often bulky, unattractive, and uncomfortable, discouraging consistent use despite their health benefits. Additionally, challenges with maintenance, storage, and usability further hinder adoption.

​

Somnium addresses these issues with a less-invasive, user-focused solution that seamlessly integrates into the home. Designed to prioritize comfort, aesthetics, and functionality, offering a sleek, practical alternative to traditional CPAP systems.

50% of these patients, stop CPAP treatment after only the first month.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects an estimated

936 million adults worldwide, which includes 18 million Americans.

Existing Market
