Background
In my Master's program at Johns Hopkins, I have been working on a team of engineers and clinicians to develop a novel solution to a highly prevalent, severe form of obstructive sleep apnea, complete concentric collapse at the level of the palate. Through this translational project, I have had significant hands-on experience in ethnographic clinical research, designing animal and human studies, creating rapid prototypes, analyzing patent landscape, and developing business, FDA regulatory, and reimbursement strategies.
We are currently in the process of filing a provisional patent with the United States Patient Office.
