Sleep apnea is a chronic respiratory sleep disorder that is commonly characterized by disruption
of breathing while sleeping. This is characterized by conditions such as shallow periods of
breathing or occurrence of breaks and pauses during sleep. The duration pauses can be for a
few seconds or can last for several minutes. These disruptive events can occur multiple times
during the night. People with loud snoring habits are most vulnerable to sleep apnea.
Resumption of breathing after these pauses are mostly followed by choking or snorting sounds.
Most people remain undiagnosed of sleep apnea, as it occurs during the night and is difficult to
be detected during routine hospital visits. Apnea essentially is the squeezing of air that passes
the blockage, while breathing and results in loud snoring. These blockages are mostly
encountered in overweight and obese people. People suffering from diabetes are more likely to
be victims of sleep apnea. Three major types of sleep apnea are obstructive sleep apnea (OSA),
central sleep apnea (CSA) and mixed sleep apnea, which is a combination of the two.
Obstructive sleep apnea is the most commonly found form of sleep apnea in which the
breathing is interrupted by blockage of airflow.

Apart from obesity, various factors such as smoking, hereditary existence, menopause,
consumption of medicines with sedative effects, having long neck, alcohol consumption, and
improper sleeping habits are also responsible for prevalence of this disorder. Sleep apnea is
mainly encountered among the geriatric population with growing levels of obesity. Oventus Inc.
suggests that OSA prevails in approximately 3% to 7% of adult men and in 2% to 5% of adult
females. In addition to this, 50% of the general population are snorers indicating the fact that
this population is potential buyers of the sleep apnea devices. Around 100 million people across
the globe are suspected to suffer from OSA in 2014, though the majority of this population
remains undiagnosed. Sleep apnea can be treated through multiple treatment options such as
natural recovery by changing everyday habits and lifestyle, as well as use of sleep apnea
devices such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices or wearable forms such as
