Yes, the RestBud™ will not work without our Whispers Without Waking™ application. The intelligence of the device lies within the processing power of your smartphone, so a subscription to our software is a requirement for functionality.

Bear in mind that medical technologies to treat breathing disorders are often very expensive. For example, insurance companies generally only cover a percentage of the costs of CPAP machines or Mandibular Advancement Devices used to treat diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea – despite FDA approval of those treatment options.

The retail costs of these devices are boundless. The Provent EPAP costs approximately $700/year. The Apnicure OPT costs $1400 plus an additional $200/year. The Inspire HGNS costs $30,000.

Considering all that RestBud™ delivers, it is a great value despite these recurring fees.
