New Anti-Snore Patch Targets the Science of Sound Waves
SilentPartner
The "Silent Partner" is a snore patch device that addresses the sound, rather than the cause, of snoring, according to Netanel Eyal, co-founder of the startup.

Around 45% of healthy adults snore at least occasionally and 25% are regular snorers, according to the American Academy of Otolaryngology.
For those who suffer from sleep apnea, a condition marked by multiple episodes of pauses in breathing, medical intervention is typically needed.
To help reduce snore sounds, the Silent Partner uses active noise-cancellation technology, which relies on the physics of sound waves.
The Silent Partner suppresses snore sounds better the farther away you are from the snorer.
The device can be worn in any sleeping position and comes with medical-grade adhesives to keep it in place.
The Silent Partner raised funds on the crowdsourcing site Indiegogo. The project's original goal of $40,000 was surpassed by more than 655 percent, with a total of nearly $473,000.
