ADAPTIVE THERAPY.
PHYSIOLOGIC RESPONSE.

Designed for patients with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea, Lunair is developing an implantable neurostimulation device and connected platform that aims to overcome current treatment limitations and restore healthy sleep.
PHRENIC NERVE STIMULATION
The phrenic nerve activates the diaphragm and communicates with the brainstem to control respiration. Phrenic nerve stimulation has a history of safe use for diverse indications, including sleep apnea.
COORDINATED AIRWAY REFLEX
Phrenic nerve stimulation activates a coordinated upper airway reflex of respiratory muscles to maintain an open airway during sleep.1
RESPIRATION SENSING

Closed-loop system senses respiration and automatically adjusts stimulation to meet the patient’s respiratory needs.

THE LUNAIR SYSTEM

STIMULATION LEAD

Stimulates the phrenic nerve to activate a natural airway reflex, maintaining stability, without masks, mouthpieces, wearables, or forced tongue movements.

PULSE GENERATOR

Acting as the system’s brain, it adjusts the proprietary stimulation algorithm based on respiration and sleep parameters.

TITRATION LEAD

Monitors the patient’s response to sleep and stimulation, providing valuable information for auto-titration of the system.

THE UNMET NEED
IN SLEEP APNEA

Moderate-to-severe sleep apnea affects up to 12% of the US population, with serious impacts on productivity, cardiovascular health, and quality of life.2

Unfortunately, today’s solutions leave many patients seeking alternative therapies.
