Dr Desai, Sleep and Respiratory Physician, was filmed as an independent Sleep Physician expert for a TV segment on A Current Affair, which aired Friday 24 November 2017.
The segment discussed a new oral appliance available to treat obstructve sleep apnoea - Oventus O2Vent.
Although potentially promising as a new treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea, Dr Desai made the point that there is only one (industry funded) published study supporting the use of this device to date and far more research is required to know whether it will be effective to treat obstructive sleep apnoea and if so, which patients might benefit.
