Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Therapy (IHHT) Launched: Breakthrough Breathing Therapy for Heart, Brain, and Healthy Aging
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ai Mediq SA today officially launched Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Therapy (IHHT), a science-backed, non-invasive breathing therapy that strengthens the cardiovascular system at its cellular core. By training the body to adapt to fluctuating oxygen levels, IHHT enhances heart function, improves metabolic efficiency, supports cognitive health, and reduces inflammation.
IHHT cycles between low-oxygen (hypoxia) and high-oxygen (hyperoxia) breathing intervals, acting like 'interval training for your cells.' It optimizes oxygen use, lowers inflammation, and boosts resilience without the risks associated with continuous hypoxia.
Rooted in oxygen-sensing molecular mechanisms, a Nobel Prize-winning discovery, IHHT triggers regenerative cellular processes. Devices like ReOxy® and HIBERG® use Self-Regulated Treatment (SRT) technology to personalize sessions based on real-time data such as heart rate and oxygen saturation, ensuring optimal and safe results.
Clinical Evidence
A 2023 review published in Metabolites analyzed 16 clinical studies, confirming IHHT's benefits across cardiovascular, cognitive, and metabolic health:
Cardiac Rehabilitation: 15 sessions improved exercise tolerance, lipid profiles, and quality of life (Glazachev et al., 2017).
Cognitive Health: Elderly patients showed a 20% MoCA score improvement after IHHT (Serebrovska et al., 2019).
Metabolic Syndrome: IHHT reduced LDL cholesterol, inflammatory markers, and improved blood sugar control (Bestavashvili et al., 2021).
Geriatric Care: Combined therapy led to a 30% greater improvement in mobility and cognitive function (Bayer et al., 2017).
Ripple Effects of IHHT
Beyond the proven benefits, IHHT enhances cognitive function, supports metabolism and longevity, improves athletic recovery, and reduces systemic inflammation.
From Clinical Evidence to Real-World Application: ReOxy® and HIBERG®
Once reserved for elite athletes and clinical trials, IHHT is now accessible to both medical professionals and health-conscious individuals:
ReOxy® is a CE-certified medical device designed for clinical settings. It delivers fully automated IHHT protocols tailored to individual patients, making it ideal for cardiology, rehabilitation, and integrative medicine practices.
HIBERG® adapts the same core technology for personal use, offering guided breathing sessions to support recovery, stress relief, sleep, and energy balance. It's a powerful wellness solution for anyone seeking performance and longevity.
Both devices are powered by SRT-Technology, ensuring personalised, safe, and effective treatment every session.
About Ai Mediq SA
Headquartered in Luxembourg, Ai Mediq SA develops advanced breathing therapies backed by clinical research. Its flagship innovations, ReOxy® and HIBERG®, bring cutting-edge, non-invasive solutions into everyday health practices.

Somnics Health Launches iNAP Essentials: Making Innovative OSA Therapy Accessible for $58/Month
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Somnics Health, a pioneer in next-generation sleep apnea solutions, announces the launch of iNAP Essentials, a breakthrough program giving patients access to iNAP Sleep Therapy for just $58/month over 24 months. This new initiative removes one of the biggest barriers to treatment—cost—and expands access to comfortable, mask-free therapy for patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). More than 50 million Americans suffer from OSA, yet 80% remain untreated, and many who start CPAP therapy abandon it due to discomfort. The iNAP system offers a new path forward. "The OSA treatment landscape is no longer CPAP-only. iNAP is effective, comfortable, and discreet—and now, more affordable than ever," said Olivier Lauzeral, General Manager of Somnics Health. "With iNAP Essentials, we're removing the affordability hurdle." A Smarter, Simpler Solution iNAP is an FDA-cleared, clinically validated therapy that uses gentle negative pressure to keep the airway open during sleep—without forcing air through a mask. It works by creating a light vacuum in the oral cavity, shifting soft tissues forward and preventing obstruction. Key benefits include: No mask, no noise, no forced air Compact and travel-friendly Rechargeable battery lasting up to 5 nights Patients appreciate the freedom and discretion the iNAP system offers, particularly for travel and daily life. "Adherence is one of iNAP's biggest strengths," added Lauzeral. "When therapy fits into your life instead of disrupting it, patients stay with it—and that's how we win against OSA." What's Included in iNAP Essentials For $58/month for 24 months, iNAP Essentials includes: A full iNAP Starter Kit 3 months of supplies (mouthpiece, tubing) Free nationwide shipping Personalized onboarding with a trained iNAP Sleep Coach Access to the iNAP Sleep App for tracking progress and sharing data with providers After the initial supply period, patients can purchase refills as needed from Somnics' online store—offering flexibility without hidden fees or long-term commitments. "We built this program with transparency and simplicity at its core," said Lauzeral. "It's everything you need to start treatment—nothing you don't." Addressing a Changing Market While CPAP has long dominated the OSA space, patient dissatisfaction is driving demand for alternatives like oral appliances, positional therapy, and implantable devices. Many of these, however, are costly, invasive, or hard to access. iNAP stands out as non-invasive, portable, and now financially accessible. Clinical studies show iNAP can significantly reduce AHI, with outcomes on par with CPAP—but with higher comfort and adherence. More Ways to Access iNAP For patients who prefer to own their device upfront, Somnics has partnered with Affirm® to offer interest-free installment plans. "Some patients want to purchase the device outright. With Affirm, they can do that without financial strain," said Lauzeral. Provider-Guided, Patient-Focused iNAP is available by prescription only, ensuring medical oversight from a sleep specialist. Adoption is growing across VA hospitals, sleep centers, and DME providers. "Physicians are seeing the value of iNAP in improving adherence and patient satisfaction," Lauzeral emphasized. "When patients feel empowered, they stay engaged—and that's the future of sleep medicine." Advancing Health Equity Untreated sleep apnea increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cognitive decline. Somnics Health sees iNAP Essentials not just as a product offering—but as a public health solution. "This isn't just about access—it's about fairness," said Lauzeral. "Sleep apnea is a serious condition, and we believe everyone deserves a shot at better health." About Somnics Health Somnics Health is a medical device company focused on advancing patient-centric solutions for sleep-disordered breathing. Its flagship product, iNAP Sleep Therapy, helps patients treat OSA without the discomfort of traditional therapies. With offices in California and Taiwan, Somnics continues to lead in innovation, education, and patient adherence.

World's First Needle-Free Procedure Targeting Deep Facial Muscles and Skin, EMFACE® by BTL Aesthetics Surpasses 1 Million Global Treatments, Drives Rapid Adoption in Singapore's Aesthetic Market
SINGAPORE, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EMFACE® the groundbreaking non-invasive natural facial lifting treatment developed by BTL Aesthetics (BTL), has surpassed 1 million treatments worldwide within the first two years of its introduction. This global milestone is a testament to EMFACE®'s position as the leading non-invasive aesthetic treatment, leveraging breakthrough technology to invent the first needle-free procedure capable of effectively providing deep facial muscle toning and skin tightening for a more lifted and youthful appearance. Launched in the United States in 2022 and introduced to Singapore in March 2023, the award- winning EMFACE® quickly gained traction among aesthetic practitioners and patients seeking effective non-invasive facial rejuvenation in major markets such as the United States, Europe, Singapore, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. According to various doctors, the demand for non-invasive aesthetic treatments in Singapore continues to rise due to reduced stigma as aesthetic treatments are increasingly viewed as a form of self-care, as reported by Channel News Asia[1]. Additionally, The Straits Times[2] has also highlighted that advancements in technology are providing more convenient solutions with minimal downtime, allowing for more accessible and efficient treatments. "In recent years, we have seen a major shift in what patients are looking for – effective treatments that deliver natural-looking results without needles, surgery, or extended recovery times. Today's consumers are busy and want options that fit seamlessly into their lifestyles, and non-invasive treatments are answering that call," said Dr. Lynn Chiam, Dermatologist at the Children & Adult Skin Hair Laser Clinic. Channel News Asia[1] has also noted that The Ministry of Health (MOH) reported an average increase of 40 new licensed providers offering aesthetic services between 2020 and 2023. As more individuals seek effective and non-invasive options to achieve their desired appearance, this surge reflects the increasing preference for non-invasive treatments like EMFACE®, with demand expected to grow even further. To cater to the growing demand for non-invasive aesthetic treatments, EMFACE® effectively targets the facial elevator muscles for a natural lift in just 20 minutes, with no pain and no downtime. Although tangible results can be seen right after the treatments, a minimum of four sessions can deliver truly optimal results. Additionally, a fully personalized treatment plan can be curated by trusted Aesthetic Providers. EMFACE® is the first device in the market to utilise High-intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES) and Synchronized RF technologies. HIFES™ selectively tones the face-elevating muscles to restore and elevate the support of facial features while Synchronized RF heating remodels and smooths the skin by increasing the levels of collagen and elastin fibers. This allows the treatment to penetrate deep into the facial muscles, lifting every layer from muscle to skin, effectively enhancing facial contours from within – a feat previously unattainable with injectables or traditional energy-based devices. EMFACE® has also expanded its capabilities with the introduction of under-eye applicators, making EMFACE® the only treatment available that addresses the root causes of ageing around the eyes non-invasively by toning muscles and tightening skin. The periorbital area is often the first to show signs of ageing with eyebags, crow's feet, and dark circles. While traditional solutions focus primarily on the skin, the new eye applicators further enhance the treatment's effectiveness by uniquely targeting both the lower part of the orbicularis oculi muscle and delicate skin in the periorbital area. As the original muscle toning and skin lifting U.S. FDA-cleared treatment, EMFACE® has been recognized for its innovative technology and revolutionary results, having won the 2025 New Beauty Award for 'Best Non-Invasive Facial Sculptor', the 2023 Northern Ireland Cosmetic Medicine Award for 'Innovative Device of the Year', and the 2023 Cosmopolitan Holy Grail Beauty Award for 'Best Treatment Game Changer'. "BTL Aesthetics is proud of reaching this remarkable milestone which underscores the commitment we have to providing cutting-edge innovative aesthetic solutions. Achieving 1 million EMFACE® treatments globally in under two years highlights the growing consumer demand for non-invasive facial lifting solutions that are painless, require no downtime, and can seamlessly fit into their busy routines," said Mr Ricardo Manaloto, General Manager of BTL Aesthetics. "We are truly heartened by the trust that our valued partner practitioners have placed in EMFACE®. Their recognition of the role that toning facial muscles plays in facial lifting reinforces its importance as a foundational component of any effective facial lifting treatment. Mr. Manaloto added.

Nicholas Academic Centers Celebrates Class of 2025 With Stories of Grit, Growth, and Giving Back
SANTA ANA, Calif., June 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--One of the four featured Nicholas Academic Centers (NAC) scholars was not expected to survive childbirth. "Before I opened my eyes to this world, I shared my first eight months of life alongside cancer," stated Tanesha Bravo. Injecting her grandmother with insulin, caring for her mother's medical issues, losing her best friend to leukemia, and surviving her own surgeries to remove a hemangioma fueled Bravo's goal of becoming a surgical oncologist. This fall, she heads to Chapman University on a full scholarship as a biochemistry and molecular biology major. Her path has been shaped by the fragility and power of life, inspired by her mother's unwavering strength as she battled illness while working long hours to support her children. An immigrant at age 12, Bravo helped her mom deliver groceries and food while maintaining top grades. The NAC, which provides highly qualified staff, academic assistance and tutoring, social services, cultural enrichment programs, college access and support services, and need-based scholarship opportunities for students, became her second home, providing the guidance and resources she needed to turn a once-distant dream into reality. "I was given a second chance at life," Bravo said. "I couldn't have achieved everything without the NAC, and now I want to be that support for others." On June 6, 2025, Broadcom cofounder Dr. Henry T. Nicholas III hosted the NAC, elected officials, and community members at the 17th annual NAC graduation ceremony to honor the Class of 2025, 198 graduates who collectively earned 1,736 college acceptances, as they advance to prestigious colleges. NAC Alumni Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) Board Clerk Valerie Magdaleno (Class of 2016) and law student Lisbeth Rosales (Class of 2018) gave encouraging words to the NAC Class of 2025 and the community at the graduation ceremony. The NAC is generously funded by the Henry T. Nicholas III Education Foundation and was founded by Dr. Nicholas and Retired Superior Court Judge Jack Mandel in 2007. Dr. Nicholas has donated $57.7 million to support the three NAC locations in downtown Santa Ana, Valley High School, and Century High School. "Seventeen years later, we are a community that has changed for the better, with more and more students not just getting their bachelor's degrees, but also going on to get their master's, and some even their PhD," said Rodolfo Duarte, Executive Director of the NAC and a fellow NAC alumnus, who jokes about having spent half of his life at the NAC. During long nights studying at the NAC which served as her anchor, Stephania Salvador, the daughter of Mexican immigrants, her father a restaurant server, her mother a catering worker, often thought about her parents' sacrifices, including her father leaving college to provide for the family. A natural leader, Salvador served as senior class president. She also founded a volunteer club and used a $5,000 grant to run a sports camp for special needs children. She is University of Pennsylvania bound on a full scholarship to become a real estate lawyer. "I want to help solve the housing crisis, especially for low-income communities like mine," she explained. Salvador hopes to support her parents and uplift her community through her legal career. Adrian Ramirez discovered early on that reading and analyzing history helped him make sense of the present and imagine a better future. He started at the NAC with a goal to simply get into any college to honor his Mexican-born parents' sacrifices and wishes; NAC expanded his horizon to Harvard University on a full scholarship, where he will major in government, with plans to become an attorney. Ramirez served as president of the National Honor Society, led book drives for local libraries, and promoted civic engagement through Santa Ana Youth Votes. He also spread joy through Origami for Good, creating origami art to donate to children at hospitals, the elderly, and soldiers. Ramirez thanks Dr. Nicholas for "creating a program that showed me that I'm capable of doing so much more than I can even imagine." UC Berkeley-bound Bryan Figueroa dreams of returning to Santa Ana to help his community the way "Dr. Nick has," who "believed in the NAC scholars when they didn't always believe in themselves." The son of a carpenter and a house cleaner, one of Figueroa's first memories was being pushed in a stroller by his mother and collecting cans and bottles to make a few extra dollars. Fueled by these moments, he made a quiet promise to carry their dreams forward. In a full-circle moment, he joined his high school's recycling club. Figueroa has also mentored younger generations through Big Brothers Big Sisters and volunteered for other nonprofits. He plans to major in mathematics to build a career that can support both his family and the community. "The NAC flipped a switch that college was possible," he reflected. "I realized this wasn't just about me. It was about honoring my family's sacrifices."
