Airing is the world's first hoseless, maskless, cordless micro-CPAP device to treat sleep apnea.

2. Untreated, OSA can cause a number of serious health problems,
including high blood pressure, stroke, cardiovascular
disease, cognitive impairment, weight gain, and headaches.
OSA is a condition typically caused by a blockage of the airway
when the soft tissue in the rear of the throat collapses during sleep.
This leads to repeated snoring, choking, and a restriction of oxygen
to the brain.
What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)?

3. Be uncomfortable, loud, restrictive during sleep
Have a hard time maintaining an air-tight seal on face
Cause embarrassing & painful facial marks & sores
Collect dangerous bacteria if not cleaned daily
Cause drying of mouth and throat
Be difficult to carry and power when traveling
However, these CPAP machines and masks can
The standard treatment for OSA is what is known as "Continuous Positive Airway
Pressure," or a "CPAP" machine. By blowing enough air at the right pressure into
the airway, these machines can prevent the symptoms and effects of OSA.

4. As a result, 80% of CPAP
users stop using their machines
within one year because of the
hassle, discomfort, anxiety, and
inability to sleep while using
the treatment.
Beyond feeling drowsy, irritable, and unproductive, patients who cannot tolerate
their CPAP feel guilty for keeping their partners awake with their snoring and for
putting themselves at a high risk for a myriad of serious health issues.
We intend to change that by improving compliance with a revolutionary new
design that will work as well as any other CPAP machine, but won't force patients
to choose between dealing with cumbersome, uncomfortable masks and giving up.

5. We are developing a micro-CPAP device that has
no hoses, no cords, and no mask.

9. 2015 Global OSA Market Estimates Exceed $6 Billion
North American market is the largest ($4.8 Billion)
European market is the fastest growing
CAGR is 17% through 2020
Only 20% of OSA sufferers have been diagnosed
Market growth is fueled by:
Increased awareness of OSA by patients and caregivers
Technical advancements in diagnostics and treatments
Growing OSA population due to rise in obesity and aging population
More government initiatives
Worldwide ~100M people with OSA
Current treatments (CPAP, oral appliances, & surgery) are not
well-tolerated
80% or more of diagnosed patients are non-compliant (after one year)

12. MEMBERS OF AIRING'S MEDICAL ADVISORY BOARD
"The work at Airing
represents the pursuit of
disruptive innovation that
could very rapidly change
the way sleep disordered
breathing is treated."
"I think it's going to be
wonderful for people. For the
first time we have a treatment
that patients will be willing to
use. I think Airing will have a
tremendous impact."

13. "Fabulous concept. For me, the benefits of a good night's
sleep have far outweighed the discomfort of the nasal
mask & hose. But why not get rid of that discomfort also?
Sounds almost like utopia. I have friends that avoid even
considering a CPAP device because of the potential
discomfort." - Campbell S.
"My 79-year-old father would
greatly benefit from this. In fact, I
think it could save his life. He often
fears going to sleep because he
thinks he will not wake, but he is
unable to wear the typical CPAP
machines." - Alba K.
"Been a diagnosed sleep apnea sufferer for over 20 years.
And suffered is the right word since none of the 'treatments'
were successful or acceptable (an effective treatment the
patient won't use is no treatment at all). I anticipate your
arrival with great eagerness. I won't line up a week before to
buy tickets for a concert or the latest from Apple but I would
camp out in line for a shot at a good night's sleep." - Jeff P.
"As a guy who hates his CPAP machine
(haven't used it in years), I'd love a shot
at the Airing just to have my wife sleep
in the same bed with me again (snoring
drives her insane)." - Steve K.
"O-M-G!! If this thing works, it will
save my marriage. " - Debbie N.
"My mom suffers from severe sleep
apnea and I worry about her
constantly. This would ensure her
using one." - Tilly R.
"As a disabled wheelchair user, it is very cumbersome
to clean and work with the machines and hoses. I feel
this would be a SUPERB alternative and help me
very much in my everyday life. I have suffered with
sleep apnea for 10+ years and welcome any
improvements in the area." - Chad M.
