Healthy measure to improve my well-being going into the older years, which I may not have survived if I had not resolved my sleep apnea issue.

My name is Dan and my Inspire implant date is December 17th, 2018. I'm 82 years old and I live in Oro Valley, Arizona. Being on CPAP for 4 years, to now having Inspire, I've been able to travel without worrying over equipment functionality and carrying around all the accessories that comes with CPAP. With Inspire, I sleep regularly 7.5 hours which never happened with CPAP. I was always trying to catch up on sleep and now I no longer have to deal with that.

Interests:

Golf and volunteering in my community

Why I chose Inspire therapy to treat my sleep apnea:

Initially convenience but using Inspire overtime I noticed an improvement in my long-term health and sleep quality.

Why am I a patient ambassador?

I love to volunteer, and it is a major activity in my daily life. I want to help individuals learn about better sleep options and improve their quality of life.
