SUMMARY:Empowering Women to Champion Airway
DESCRIPTION:Vivos Therapeutics Inc, a medical device and technology company specializing in the development of treatments for sleep-related breathing disorders, is excited to announce “Empowering Women to Champion Airway,” a pioneering event that will transcend international boundaries and unite prominent women in the medical and dental fields to shed light on the pivotal role of airway health in human well-being.\nThe “Empowering Women to Champion Airway” conference will be held at the Vivos Institute in Denver, Colo, on Feb 1 and 2, 2024. This assembly aims to forge stronger bonds between medical and dental professionals, with a specific emphasis on empowering women to spearhead positive transformations in the healthcare landscape through a focus on airway health.\nVivos was granted 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Nov 28 for treating severe OSA in adults using the Vivos’ removable CARE (Complete Airway Repositioning and/or Expansion) oral appliances. Vivos’ CARE appliances include the flagship DNA oral appliance, the mRNA oral appliance, and the mmRNA oral appliance. This represents the first time the FDA has ever granted an oral appliance a clearance to treat moderate and severe OSA in adults, 18 years of age and older along with positive airway pressure (PAP) and/or myofunctional therapy, as needed.\nDr Manisha Witmans, a board-certified sleep specialist licensed in both the United States and Canada, expresses, “I’m grateful to be speaking at the Empowering Women to Champion Airway event which is a tremendous opportunity to enhance collaboration between medical and dental professionals regarding treatment of patients with OSA. The recent FDA 510(k) clearance for Vivos’ CARE devices to address severe OSA is encouraging for both patients and clinicians as this gives medical professionals a new and potentially more desirable option to offer to their patients. Severe OSA is a prevalent and often underdiagnosed condition and immediate treatment is critical as it can worsen the outcomes of various diseases and contribute to premature death. Unfortunately, many patients have remained untreated due to the drawbacks of CPAP or invasive surgeries. Collaborative efforts between medical doctors and dentists are essential to provide optimal treatment solutions for all patients.”\nSusie McCullough, executive vice president of Vivos, states, “We are honored to host such an all-star lineup of world-renowned speakers with expertise in a variety of healthcare specialties—including medical sleep specialists, cardiologists, primary care physicians, pediatric specialists, orthodontists, and general dentists—all of whom work in one way or another with sleep and breathing disorders. Fostering this type of interdisciplinary collaboration is necessary to increase the awareness that there is a new alternative to CPAP or surgery for treating severe OSA.”\nMcCullough continues, “Not only are today’s women assuming an ever-increasing level of prominence and leadership roles within healthcare, but women continue to exert the greatest influence over family healthcare decisions. As spouses, mothers and caregivers, we are often on the frontlines of dealing with the effects of OSA, snoring, insomnia, and other breathing and sleep problems. We need to know what we’re dealing with and the latest remedies that are available, with a particular emphasis on ensuring the well-being of young patients through early intervention Vivos is proud to host this first-of-its-kind event, offering a special opportunity to glean insights into how women can drive innovation and progress in this critical facet of healthcare.”\nDental and medical professionals interested in attending the conference may register here.\n
