What is Genio Therapy by Nyxoah?
Genio is a new, FDA-approved, mask-free treatment option for select patients with moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnea. Genio gently stimulates both of the main nerves to the tongue, keeping the airway open throughout the night.
Dr. Kent was a lead contributor to the clinical trial leading to FDA approval of the Genio device. He was also the first surgeon and sleep medicine provider in Tennessee to offer it to his patients clinically.
What Makes Genio Therapy Different?
• Battery-free, lead-free, bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation
Genio’s battery-free design means it can be inserted through a single surgical incision. It’s also safe for most 1.5T and 3T MRI scans.
• Powered by a sleep wearable
Genio is powered by a small activation chip worn comfortably under the chin overnight. In the morning, it’s removed and placed on its portable daily charger.
• Controlled with an intuitive smart phone app
The optional Genio smartphone app makes it easy to start, pause, and adjust your therapy for precise comfort. The app and the activation chip are both upgradeable without the need for additional procedures.
