The Shift What We're Building Team FAQ

Sleep care is about to change shape

Nine shifts we expect in sleep medicine in the near future — and the work under way, from hardware to AI, to help get there.

10M+CPAP users in the U.S.

1 nightA typical sleep test today

Built-in PAP software classified 28% of patients as "well controlled" while full sleep testing showed significant residual apnea.

Fanfulla et al., 2021 · 300 patients

CPAP's cardiovascular benefit concentrates in patients identified by hypoxic burden and heart-rate response — signals current machines do not capture.

Eur Heart J, 2026

Across 2,687 patients in the SAVE trial, response to CPAP was highly individual — one number can't steer everyone's care.

Testing

One night, one lab, one report.

Many nights at home, tracked over time.

The measure

One number — AHI — drives decisions.

Phenotype, hypoxic burden, sleep architecture, symptoms, heart risk.

Scoring

Scored by a human, 30 seconds at a time.

AI scores the night; clinicians oversee.

Therapy

CPAP is the default answer.

CPAP, drugs, weight loss, stimulation, oral devices — combined per patient.

Night data

The machine reports on itself.

Sensors report the body's whole night.

Follow-up

A doctor reads charts, one by one.

AI triages and summarizes what changed.

Visits

Every 6–12 months, regardless.

Continuous signal; visit when it matters.

Equipment

DMEs ship boxes.

DMEs manage therapy, end to end.

The sleep lab

Beds and technicians.

A complex-diagnostics and treatment hub.

Our read of where the field is moving — grounded in published research, stated as expectation, not promise.

What we're building toward it

From hardware to AI — each piece in development, validated the proper way.

Hardware for treatment and diagnosis

One device where therapy and testing converge — the equipment a patient already uses every night becomes the measurement: no second device, no charging, no change in behavior.

Signal analysis

Algorithms that turn each night's raw signals into clear, reviewable summaries.

AI, validated properly

Deep-learning research models designed to be validated against polysomnography before any capability is claimed.

AI-native care

Tools that organize recorded nights into clear summaries for clinicians, and plain language for patients — keeping doctors in the loop between visits.

The first device is in development toward FDA 510(k) clearance. Nothing here is for sale today.

The nights behind the work

Three years on CPAP and I couldn’t tell you one thing about my nights. The machine knew. I didn’t.

— Daniel, CPAP user

I still woke at 3 a.m. to check that he was breathing. I needed to see the night somewhere.

— Priya, partner of a CPAP user

Between visits I get usage hours and a leak number. My patients live a whole night I never see.

— A sleep clinician we work with

I quit my mask twice. Not because it wasn’t working — because nothing showed me it was.

— Marcus, back on CPAP

Composite voices from our conversations with patients, partners, and clinicians — anonymized.

What's recorded, and who sees it. SpO2, pulse rate, and position during the night — for you and your provider to review. End-to-end encryption, HIPAA-compliant cloud, role-based access, audit logging.

Get started now

You don't have to wait for the mask. The Orma Night Program pairs a medical-grade wearable — shipped to you — with plain-language reports of your recorded nights. A sleep test sees one night; this sees every night you wear it.

For patients

We ship you an FDA-cleared wearable from an established medical-device maker — yours to keep — and each week your recorded nights come back as a report you can actually read: your oxygen pattern, your pulse rate, and how your nights change over time. Every report includes a clinician-ready summary for your next visit.

$299 to start, device included · $29/month after · cancel anytime

For clinicians

Refer a patient, and each week they record comes back to you as a structured summary — the body's whole night between visits, not just machine hours. Tell us about your practice and we'll set up your first patients together.

1The wearable arrives

FDA-cleared, from an established maker. Set up in minutes — it's yours to keep.

2You just sleep

Worn at night, it records your oxygen level and pulse rate through the night.

3Nights become words

Our software drafts your weekly report from the recorded signals.

4You read your week

Plain language for you, a structured summary for your clinician.

The software drafts — a person reviews every report before it reaches you.

Early access runs in small groups — request an invite and we'll reach out as spots open. Payment happens at invite time; nothing is charged today. The Night Program is separate from the Orma mask, which is still in development and not for sale. Reports are informational, for you and your clinician to review together — they don't diagnose any condition or replace medical care.

Waiting for the mask?

The Orma smart mask is in development and pending FDA review — we're targeting U.S. availability in early-to-mid 2027, subject to FDA 510(k) clearance. Tell us who you are and you're first in line — we'll email progress updates and open the doors to you the moment each piece is ready.

Joining is free and isn't a pre-order — no payment, no commitment. The Orma mask can be offered for sale only after FDA clearance. Unsubscribe anytime. Prefer email? hello@ormasleep.com

Common questions

Is anything for sale today?

The Orma mask is not — it's in development and pending FDA review. The Night Program is: a paid early-access service, open by invite, that pairs a third-party FDA-cleared wearable with our written reports of your nights.

What exactly is the Night Program?

We ship you a medical-grade, FDA-cleared wearable made by an established device maker — yours to keep. You wear it while you sleep, and each week we turn the recorded nights into a plain-language report plus a clinician-ready summary. $299 to start, device included, then $29/month, cancel anytime.

Does any of this diagnose sleep apnea?

No. Night Program reports are informational — they show what your body recorded overnight, for you and your clinician to discuss. They don't diagnose any condition, adjust any therapy, or replace medical care.

What is Orma actually building?

Hardware where treatment and testing converge, and software that turns each night's recorded signals into clear, reviewable summaries — in development toward FDA 510(k) clearance.

When could the mask arrive?

We're targeting U.S. availability in early-to-mid 2027, subject to FDA 510(k) clearance — waitlist members are notified the moment ordering opens.

Is joining the mask waitlist a pre-order?

No — no payment and no commitment. The waitlist is separate from the Night Program: you'll get progress updates by email, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
