On this episode, we’re joined by Scott Nortman, CEO and Co-Founder at Restful Robotics. The solutions being developed at Restful Robotics aim to improve the success rate of sleep apnea treatment through the use of medical robotics. 

We talk about:

- The prevalence of sleep apnea and the challenges of effectively treating it.

- The reasons why usage rates of effective sleep apnea treatments such as CPAP machines are only around 50%.

- What Restful Robotics does and how they address the compliance issues with sleep apnea treatments.

- The details around how Restful Robotics uses computer vision and other emerging technologies.

- The inherent challenges associated with medical robotics compared to other industries.

- The advantages of using simulations when creating medical robot prototypes.

- The Importance of creating and protecting IP for startup medical device companies.

- Why you must be crystal clear about the problem you aim to solve with your medical devices.
