Reimagining Sleep Apnea Care: Crafting a Future-Ready CPAP/BiPAP Experience

About Client

A prominent Indian MedTech company partnered with iOrbit to design and develop a CPAP/BiPAP device tailored for home use in India.

The device aims to provide effective and reliable therapy for patients with sleep apnea and other breathing disorders. With an emphasis on ease of use, portability and patient comfort, the solution is designed to meet the growing demand for affordable, high-quality respiratory care in the Indian healthcare ecosystem.

Client’s Challenge

The project aimed to design and develop a CPAP/BiPAP sleep apnea therapy device entirely from scratch in India. The key requirement was to create a cost-effective solution making it accessible and affordable for the Indian healthcare market. The client had fixed a target product cost, and the objective was to match this while ensuring performance, reliability and patient comfort.

Design Focus

  • Industrial Design
  • Mechanical Design
  • Prototyping
  • Digital Experience Design
  • User Interface Design

iOrbit Solution

Design Considerations

iOrbit approached this as a home healthcare device design challenge - meaning every decision was evaluated through the lens of real patients using this device independently, without clinical supervision. The team mapped requirements across six dimensions:

  • Nature of the device
  • Use case environments
  • End user-based requirements - informed by human factors engineering principles to ensure safe, intuitive operation
  • Clinician based requirements
  • Data management - including CPAP humidification and therapy delivery optimization
  • Other marketing requirements

Design Concepts

Key Outcomes

The redesigned CPAP/BiPAP device achieved a breakthrough balance between clinical effectiveness, user comfort, and digital interoperability - setting a new benchmark for medical device product design in the respiratory care space.

The redesigned device delivers a compact, ergonomic form factor with improved usability, comfort, and intuitive setup to enhance CPAP patient adherence. With a modular and scalable architecture aligned to regulatory and market requirements, the solution is positioned for future growth. Ultimately, the device evolves from a clinical tool into a trusted therapy companion - improving both effectiveness and user acceptance.
