Bleep in the News

I find shocking, actually, that there 30 million sleep apnea patients in the US, 1 billion worldwide! 😳 Why is there not more innovation (like the Bleep) in that case? Seems like a large market, and an ongoing one, to boot!

A couple of brief case studies, one newly diagnosed,and one a 20-year patient.

Quick note, I used the original Bleep DreamPorts and now the Eclipse Halos. Personally, I think both are great, they solved so many problems/issues I had with traditional masks. I prefer the Halos as I have arthritis in my hands which has affected the fine motor skills, particularly n my left hand. Total non-issue with the Halos!

Those numbers have to be total estimated cases, not diagnosed. The US has closer to 8 million diagnosed. I have no idea how many are diagnosed worldwide but it's not 1 billion people on a CPAP.
