For years, 56-year-old Joanne C. battled obstructive sleep apnea. When traditional treatments like CPAP machines and mouth guards failed her, she was left facing terrifying health risks, including stroke, heart failure, and high blood pressure. She was running out of options—until she was introduced to a revolutionary, newly FDA-approved treatment.
At Hackensack Meridian Health, Joanne's care team—pulmonologist Khaled Abu-Ihwei, M.D.j and otolaryngologist Ahmad Mahmoud, M.D.—suggested the Genio® system. This small, battery-free device is implanted right under the chin and uses gentle nerve stimulation to keep the airway open during the night. No bulky masks, no restrictive cords!
