New CPAP Technology

I'm a student working at the University of Michigan to develop an innovative device that will help patients with sleep apnea through the forward manipulation of the mandible. We have created a device to be used intraorally as a mouth piece that moves the bottom jaw in a forward position, which opens the back of the throat, allowing more air to enter the lungs (similar to the Tap 3). For the purpose of being innovative, we are looking at possibly integrating our device with a CPAP mask and an overhead nasal pillow so that they are connected and work in tandem. I'm looking for some feedback to find if patients would be more interested in using a device that could connect to different CPAP masks as opposed to having to use a CPAP mask, nasal pillow, and intraoral mouthpiece separately.
If you have any constructive suggestions or comments about our design idea and whether you would purchase this device that has an interface that would allow the user to only have to purchase one device as opposed to trying out different devices that don't work, and would have insure implication that would lower the cost of the device, please reply! Thank you

reading, apparently, is no longer fundamental.
