sovaSage

sovaSage is a medical technology company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI)-based software and services for obstructive sleep apnea. The company's core offering is an AI-based continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) coach technology called Jeanie. This Compliance Management Service is designed to manage patient compliance during the initial 90-day period and provide long-term support for patients undergoing therapy. sovaSage's existing mask-fitting technology, TherapistAssist SmartFit, is fully integrated with the Jeanie product. The company employs a team of coaches and licensed respiratory therapists to provide comprehensive compliance management services for durable medical equipment (DME) providers. The company's services can increase PAP patient compliance by up to 25%. The company utilizes computer vision and machine learning to enhance therapy for sleep apnea patients. sovaSage was founded by William Kaigler, an entrepreneur in residence at Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business, who previously worked at Pittsburgh medical supply company Respironics.
