Abstract
This IEEE Pulse Industry Corner interview features Dr. Anders Sideris, CEO of Somnair, discussing his journey from practicing ENT surgeon to medical device innovator in the sleep medicine space. Dr. Sideris, an Australian-trained physician who completed his medical education in 2015, identified significant gaps in sleep apnea treatment during his clinical practice in Sydney. This clinical insight and engineering training culminated in the founding of Somnair, leveraging the Johns Hopkins ecosystem to develop new technologies addressing the unmet needs of sleep apnea patients who remain untreated by current therapeutic options.
本次IEEE Pulse Industry Corner访谈邀请了Somnair首席执行官Anders Sideris博士,讨论他从耳鼻喉外科医生到睡眠医学领域医疗设备创新者的历程。Sideris博士是一名在澳大利亚接受培训的医生,于2015年完成了医学教育,他在悉尼的临床实践中发现了睡眠呼吸暂停治疗方面的重大差距。这种临床洞察力和工程培训最终促成了Somnair的成立,利用约翰霍普金斯大学的生态系统开发新技术,解决当前治疗方案未得到治疗的睡眠呼吸暂停患者的未满足需求。
