Bairitone Health

Bairitone Health is a health technology company based in Houston, Texas, that develops AI-driven solutions for the diagnosis and management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Its primary technology, Somnar, is a non-invasive, skin-mounted sleep sonar sensor patch that captures natural vibrations during sleep. By using artificial intelligence to analyze these vibrations, the platform maps airway anatomy and function throughout the night, enabling clinicians to identify the specific locations and root causes of airway obstruction without the need for traditional, invasive procedures like MRI, X-ray, or ultrasound.

The platform aims to solve the problem of trial-and-error in sleep apnea care by moving anatomic assessment from the clinic to the home. By providing a detailed, dynamic map of the airway, Somnar helps providers choose the most effective, personalized therapies for patients, ranging from surgical interventions to dental appliances and other devices. The company’s technology has received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation and is currently in the research and development phase, supported by NIH SBIR funding for its goal of streamlining OSA diagnostic processes and improving clinical outcomes.
