Struggling to get a good night’s sleep can be frustrating and can leave you feeling less than your best.
The answer may lie in changing your sleep position.
If you've already been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and are struggling with traditional therapy, talk to your doctor. He or she may recommend a sleep study to find out if you have a type of OSA called positional OSA. With positional OSA, most symptoms, like interrupted breathing, occur when you sleep on your back. Now, there is a mask-free treatment that uses gentle vibrations, prompting you to shift to your side so you can get the rest you need.
When you sleep on your back, your airway may be blocked, which can disrupt breathing.
When you sleep on your side, your airway is clear, which allows for easy breathing.
We’re on your side with a mask-free sleep apnea therapy
NightBalance is a compact, easy-to-use, mask-free treatment for positional OSA. The palm-sized device is worn comfortably across your chest in a soft, adjustable strap. NightBalance delivers gentle vibrations that prompt you to shift to your side without disturbing your sleep. It automatically adjusts the intensity of vibrations to provide the therapy you need.

Adjust to your therapy
NightBalance uses an Adaptation Program to let you gradually adjust to POSA therapy.
For the first 2 nights, the device monitors your sleeping behavior with no therapy.
During nights 3-9, vibrations are gradually introduced over time to allow you to acclimate to the new POSA therapy.
On day 10 and forward, full treatment is delivered when therapy is needed – reducing the time spent sleeping on your back.5
Nightly use
Patient can fall asleep in any position. After 15 minutes, the device activates and begins monitoring.
NightBalance detects when the patient is on their back. It prompts the patient to move off their back without disturbing their sleep.
Vibrations will stop when patient is on their side.
