3. What is Sleep Apnea?
The Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a
common disorder where breathing is
interrupted or becomes very superficial
during sleep. These interruptions can last
from very few seconds to minutes and can
occur more than 30 times per hour. During
apnea the breathing stops while the person is
sleeping. This happens due to the airway
became narrower or partially blocked.
When the muscles on the upper part of the
throat get relaxed during sleep, the tissues
close up and block the airway. This stop
during breathing is called apnea.
Loud snoring is a warning symptom for OSA.
Snoring is caused by the air that slips through
a narrow or blocked airway. Even though, not
all people that snore suffer from sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea is the triggering effect for
multiple pathologies such as depression,
arrhythmias or hypertension.
In Spain there are between 1 and 2 million
people who suffer from OSA (4% of the
population). 65% of these people are also
overweight.
4% of Spanish people suffer from sleep
apnea. The majority of them are
overweight.
It has also a high incidence on people who
suffer Down Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis
and athletes who have developed a great
musculature as a consequence of their
activities. The most commonly accepted
treatment by the medical community is
the use of a CPAP device (Continuous
Positive Airway Pressure). ¿What means Sleep Apnea and how
to recognise it?

4. Current CPAPs
The most common CPAPs in the market
(a 98%), are desktop devices that are
connected to the electricity grid and that
transfer pressurized air from a device
that is located far away from the patient
to the user’s mask through a corrugated
tube. They are typically devices of a
noteworthy size, weight and volume. In
conclusion, devices that are designed to
stay in place on a nightstand.
The current tendency of the market is to
cut down the volume of CPAP devices
as the current size and weight of the
gadget and the fact that it needs a tube
between the equipment and the mask of
the patient supposes an important
inconvenience when bringing the CPAP
around.
CPAP users almost always have to
travel with an extra suitcase for their
device. Also, current CPAPs have to be
plugged into the electrical grid and thus,
reduces the possibility of users to
commute to places where the access to
electricity is limited, such as
transportation (planes, trains) or camping
sites.
Dimensions and the fact that there is a
tube make it difficult for patients to
move around with their device.
Nowadays, there is no CPAP in the
market which works with e-health
technology therefore monitoring
physiologic parameters from the patient,
and doesn’t need a tube.

7. Patent
We currently own the Spanish patent P3280ES00 of the 7th April 2015 (portable and autonomous air
impeller device that provides assisted ventilation in the treatment of Sleep Apnea Syndrome for people
affected from SAHS and to improve night sleep on elite and/or high performance athletes.) Likewise we
have requested the International PCT that will allow us to protect our technology in the markets where
we want to commercialise our product (Europe and USA).
In our PCT Patent , there are multiple novelties compared to the traditional devices. To emphasise: the
elimination of the corrugated tube, which makes it easier to have proximity sensors on the user’s skin
(suitable to reduce size and also to transform the CPAP into a health manager) and a particular orientation
of the bomb blades, that makes flows and negative dynamic answers possible without inverting the spin
direction.
Nevertheless, the elimination of the exhalation valve that all current CPAPs have in the elbow joint
between the tube and the mask to avoid rebreathing (an effect that is produced if the patient would
breathe again the air that they have previously exhaled) is, without a doubt, the most important advance
that, from a technological point of view, our invention provides and it’s registered in our patent.
The elimination of the exhalation valve is possible thanks to the special design of the blades and the fact that
the exhaled air has to go through a very short distance to expell. This feature allows that the impelled air is
really used by the patient (and not like nowadays, where there is a 75% more air impelled than necessary),
this allows a drastic reduction of the bombing power, perfect to take a step further to the pocket CPAP
since it needs a much smaller motor-
The company is in constant technical evolution following a strategy to protect its intellectual and industrial
property. We are currently working on to obtain new patents for our developments.

13. Market
In Europe and USA there is 100M of people affected by Sleep Apnea (OSA),
around a 15% of the total population. Only a 20% of this people are
diagnosed by specialists and are traditional CPAP users. Between a 5-8%
(1,6M) of this population that are already users have the need for commuting,
for business or leisure, and can’t use a CPAP in transportation such as planes
or where no electrical power system is available, also there is the
inconvenience of travelling with a suitcase dedicated to the CPAP. In Spain, at
the end of 2016 there was more than 400.000 devices in use, which supposes
between a 5-7% of the diagnosed and treated average cases, according to a
study from the Pulmonology and Thoracic Surgery Association.
Worldwide, this means a mature market that is not saturated. Every CPAP
user and Sleep Apnea sufferer that has been already diagnosed knows their
need and values the advantages that Airmony offers from an experience and
therapeutic point of view. It isn’t a saturated market since the annual growth
index is around a 10%. This growth is justified by the current infra diagnosis
that is being eventually overcome due to the raising awareness of the
importance of a good rest for an optimal and healthy life, as well as the need of
replacing the devices due to its obsolescence.

19. Marketing and communication
The marketing and communication strategy of AIRMONY is based on market penetration through various complementary and coadjuvant routes.
In most of the cases, the doctor will be the
one to inform the patient about CPAPs in the
market and to give advice to them.
Airmony has been presented in the National
Congress of Sleep Medicine in Santander
with Dr. Estivill. Presentation from a study
performed by Dr. Estivill about soak up of
dates in Prague International Congress
(October 17th).
Presentations will be performed and we will
be enrolled in different international events
to be promoted in the medical community.
From the advantages and characteristics of
Airmony these traditional marketing actions
will be key considered in the setting of the
product and will be developed in such
several geographical areas in partnership
with the local distributors. As well as is
foreseen the presence in means of
communication and specialised magazines.
The distributor of devices CPAP has special
importance in such specific markets as can be the
European one. It’s defined a leak strategy in the
markets due to the volume and permeability.
The introduction in the market is done through a
selection of agreements with local partners in
every country or countryshire. In very markets,
as USA, online distribution is taking every more
time a big importance as mean of selling. More
and more often there are more web distributors
of CPAP devices.
Every more efforts are made with the vivid
presence in fairs and international events where
medical devices are present.
The come across with the final user is
considered essential to the selling process
and the final decision. The user or future
user of CPAP has the availability to assess
the enhances and chances that different
devices from the market can offer.
A constant changing of tendency from the
competing firms towards a
communication every time more effective
to the user.
Top importance in social nets and media
in the introduction of new devices focused
on big markets.
There are already 30 pre-selling and 90
waiting requests of selling. (3 months hot
promotion).
