This non-invasive device aims to overcome snoring

People who snore and those around them quite often have their sleep disturbed. In order to remedy this problem, a small Chinese company has developed a device whose mission is to treat snoring. Here is the Snore Circle, whose secret lies in the emission of electrical micropulses.

Electrical impulses to stimulate certain muscles

Snoring is one of the enemies of sleep for the person concerned, but also for those around him. In 2015, a study described four tongue exercises to combat snoring. However, despite the existing means to overcome it, this problem remains recurrent for many people . The most desperate of them may turn to the Snore Circle device, from the Chinese company VVFLY Electronics. In fact, it is a question of a small box whose particularity is to emit electrical micropulses.

Before lying down to prepare for sleep, the user should secure the Snore Circle under their chin. With a mass of 23 g , this device is fixed using a small disposable adhesive strip. Remember that snoring is the consequence of an obstruction of the upper respiratory tract as well as a relaxation of the muscles in the pharynx. Thus, the electrical micro-pulses that the Snore Circle stimulates these muscles and circulates the air efficiently.

Already a huge success

On its website, VVFLY Electronics assures that the device has no side effects on the user. The latter is simply guaranteed to have a good night's sleep, just like those around him. The manufacturer also indicates that the Snore Circle offers a choice of forty modes of intervention and about thirty levels of intensity. Maybe a study will look into this, but VVFLY Electronics also says the device is a good way to monitor sleep apnea. There is also the possibility of using a dedicated smartphone application allowing the person to benefit from monitoring of the quality of their sleep.

Hong Kong-based company VVFLY Electronics has not yet started production of its device. Indeed, there is currently talk of a crowdfunding campaign on the Indiegogo platform. While this same campaign has not yet ended, the initial objective has been reached at 9,576%! Suffice to say that the product is a huge success and that its marketing is no longer in doubt. VVFLY Electronics has also announced that the first devices will be delivered in December 2021.
