I have had the privilege to support product development on many device solutions which aim to improve patient care and outcomes. Originally focussing on the efficacy of algorithms to detect sleep to wake transitions based on the breath pattern, to improve comfort and compliance for patients with obstructive sleep apnea. I subsequently spent over a decade building a body of evidence in collaboration with international research partners for a new therapy, surgical humidification. More recently I am supporting the development of non-invasive ventilation solutions. Responsible for strategic design and management of development activities and global clinical investigations to support the whole product lifecycle from preclinical to pre and post market support.
