Re: Sleep Apnea Mask Prototype Design SURVEY PLEASE TAKE! :)

I have long wished to see a full face mask with an inflatable cushion- a la "The Pump" --Instantly adjustable by squeezing the ball pump. Adjustable to apply to changing features. People with injuries or extreme facial surgeries or even birth deformities could use the mask "off the shelf". That's a...

Re: Sleep Apnea Mask Prototype Design SURVEY PLEASE TAKE! :)

Justin, I as well wanted to chime in and say that I hope your project goes well. The cynicism and negativity you've encountered in this post doesn't represent all of us here, and to me you seem nothing but interested and well-intentioned. Best wishes to you & your team! Carey Thanks Carey! The comp...

Sadly, none are designed for my unique, but lovely features.
By the way, if this mask is ever made, I would cheerfully accept samples in lieu of royalties.
I'll see what I can do!!!

Re: Sleep Apnea Mask Prototype Design SURVEY PLEASE TAKE! :)

Ya want a "winner" ? Rework the custom fit idea that is used on the Respironics Profile Lite masks to include all types of mask configurations. ( nasal-full face & nasal pillows. ) It is a "boil & form" material that leaves something to be desired, but, ultimately works OK. You perfect that, you'll...

Re: Sleep Apnea Mask Prototype Design SURVEY PLEASE TAKE! :)

And do your research and don't whine when people tell you to pull up your socks or get lost. PM'ing with whine also sucks, baby. I don't know why you take such offense to my teams intentions. I ask that you please just leave us to collect information from those willing to do so. You are wasting you...

Re: Sleep Apnea Mask Prototype Design SURVEY PLEASE TAKE! :)

There is a difference between practical engineers, who learn their craft by experience, solving problems in the real world; and "book" engineers, who believe they are fully educated from taking classes. My husband's experience with the latter contains far too many instances of engineers copying and...

Re: Sleep Apnea Mask Prototype Design SURVEY PLEASE TAKE! :)

Curiosity, ambition and a desire to help others are not things to be sneered at - *especially* in a student. Has he completely underestimated the challenge? Definitely. But there's a way to convey that without being mean-spirited and cynical, which are traits that shouldn't be mistaken for maturity...

Re: Sleep Apnea Mask Prototype Design SURVEY PLEASE TAKE! :)

So I just took your survey and by the questions you asked and the choices you offered I can see that you have not read enough forums to be anywhere close to designing a mask (along with some information in the posts above). You need to define the problem, not only what are people looking for in a m...

Re: Sleep Apnea Mask Prototype Design SURVEY PLEASE TAKE! :)

Thank you all, very much for your insight! It is all going to be very helpful with our project! Yes, I must admit that this survey is not thorough in nature, and we are looking into forums and other mediums for finding what customers really need. This survey is just intended as a way of getting a ge...

Jim, While I can understand your doubt in such a possibility, I would appreciate it if you could show some more respect for the individuals who are simply looking for ways to improve the daily lives of people in whatever fashion they see possible. case in point: the computer you used to post your co...
