Tech Life

For more than a year, this episode has been available to listeners. It explores a promising new anti-snoring device currently undergoing trials as a possible treatment for sleep apnoea, a widespread condition impacting millions of people and significantly disrupting their daily routines. The programme features interviews with the researchers leading the trial.

Additionally, the show highlights two health technology entrepreneurs whose personal histories shaped their innovations. One is a man who suffered a heart attack at age 44 and now dedicates his work to shortening hospital recovery periods. The other is a woman who lost a close relative to breast cancer and is focused on educating women in Pakistan on recognizing early symptoms and seeking medical assistance.
