Scientific Advisory Board
Spring Sleep partners with licensed clinicians and sleep health specialists to help guide responsible education, research direction, and patient-first messaging around eXciteOSA therapy.
Our advisors are independent medical professionals. Their guidance helps inform our education and strategy; individual results vary and clinical decisions should be made with a qualified healthcare provider.

How the Board supports Spring Sleep and eXciteOSA
Our advisors may contribute in several ways, including:
Reviewing educational content for clarity, accuracy, and patient relevance
Advising on research priorities and outcomes that matter clinically
Providing perspective on diagnosis pathways and care coordination
Helping us better understand patient experience and adherence challenges
Identifying opportunities for collaboration with the broader sleep community
Advisors do not provide individual medical care through Spring Sleep. For diagnosis and treatment decisions, consult a qualified healthcare professional.

“Treating mild sleep apnea with eXciteOSA affects so many things in a positive direction. Daytime alertness and energy, concentration, partner’s reported sleep. All these things are improved dramatically when patients use eXciteOSA.”
Chad Dammling, DDS, MD
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Carolinas Center for Oral & Facial Surgery, Raleigh, NC
“The majority of patients, greater than 90% of patients, see some type of result within their six weeks of use during their 20 minutes per day.”

“For women navigating perimenopause and menopause, sleep is one of the most overlooked aspects of health — and one of the most important. Addressing snoring and disrupted breathing can have a meaningful impact on how women feel and function every day.”
Robert Puchalski, MD, FAAOA

South Carolina ENT Allergy and Sleep Medicine, Columbia, SC
“eXciteOSA is a device that can easily fit into a person's daily routine - I liken it to other personal hygiene chores that one might do throughout the day. Patients will report that it's very tolerable. It's not painful at all.”
Asim Roy, MD
Sleep Medicine / Neurology
Ohio Sleep Medicine Institute, Dublin, OH
“I view eXciteOSA as a clinically meaningful therapy for mild obstructive sleep apnea, leveraging neuromuscular electrical stimulation to improve upper airway tone and reduce collapsibility.”
Shane Pahlavan, MD
Otolaryngology (ENT)
The ENT & Allergy Center of Texas, McKinney, TX
“Snoring and mild sleep apnea don’t have to mean bulky masks or restless nights. The eXciteOSA daytime therapy device helps strengthen airway muscles in just minutes a day to offer a comfortable, noninvasive solution for better sleep and quieter nights.”
