An anti-snoring device is being trialled as a potential solution to sleep apnoea, a condition which affects millions and can have wide-ranging consequences on daily life. We speak to the team behind the trial. Also on the programme, two health tech entrepreneurs whose personal experiences informed their products: A man who had a heart attack at 44 and now works to help reduce hospital recovery times, and a woman who lost a close family member to breast cancer and is working to help inform women in Pakistan to spot the signs and get help. Presenter: Shiona McCallum Producers: Tom Quinn and Imran Rahman-Jones (Image: A man asleep in bed with a black boomerang-shaped device attached to his neck. Credit: Zeus Sleeps)
