Sleep apnea is a serious and often overlooked condition that significantly impacts daily life, leading to fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and long-term health risks such as heart disease and high blood pressure. Millions of individuals suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to airway blockage. Addressing this critical issue, Respo Gadgets developed Dormio, an innovative and comfortable intraoral device designed to prevent snoring and alleviate sleep apnea symptoms.
As Formeta Design, we collaborated with Respo Gadgets to refine the product’s usability and exterior design, reimagining Dormio as an adult pacifier. This analogy not only improved user perception by making the device more approachable but also provided a clear reference point for the R&D team during benchmarking. By integrating ergonomic and aesthetic principles, we helped transform Dormio into a seamless wellness product aimed at improving sleep quality and overall well-being.
Dormio’s design is both functional and intuitive, featuring a perfectly contoured shape that comfortably fits within the mouth. Its unibody structure ensures durability while providing optimal support to maintain proper jaw and tongue positioning. By keeping the airway unobstructed, Dormio effectively reduces snoring and prevents episodes of sleep apnea, allowing users to achieve uninterrupted and restorative sleep.
With sleep disorders becoming increasingly prevalent, the need for effective and user-friendly solutions is greater than ever. Dormio represents a breakthrough in intraoral sleep therapy, combining innovation with comfort. Through our expertise in product design and user experience, Formeta Design remains committed to developing solutions that enhance everyday life, reinforcing the importance of sleep health in overall well-being.
