In today’s episode, we’re discussing the world of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)—a condition that impacts millions of lives by disrupting sleep, affecting overall health, and increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Joining me is Kirk Huntsman, CEO of Vivos Therapeutics, a healthcare leader with over 40 years of experience. Vivos has pioneered innovative, non-invasive solutions to OSA, including technologies that address its root causes rather than just its symptoms. We’ll explore what it took to develop and commercialize Vivos’ breakthrough treatments, and what it takes to challenge the status quo in healthcare.
