My collaborators and I are considering launching a company based on an implantable device that treats moderate – severe OSA. If you could kindly take a minute to fill out this survey, it would greatly help us in understanding your needs, and improving our product. Thank you for your time.

1. On a scale of 1-10, how much does OSA affect your life if untreated?
(1 : as much as a skin graze 5 : as much as a mild fever 10 : as much as parkinson’s disease)

2. How happy are you with your current treatment?

3. What improvements in treatment would be important to you?

4. Would you be willing to have outpatient surgery that involved an implantable device, similar to a pacemaker, if it significantly improved your OSA condition?

5. Would you be willing to participate in a clinical trial involving a device similar to the one mentioned above?

6. Any general comments?
