About the project
The number of methods to pre-screen and diagnose obstructive sleep apnea is very limited although it causes huge direct and indirect economic cost. In addition, the current methods to treat OSA are cumbersome and expensive. Nukute has developed a cost-effective wireless system, based on microphone and accelerometers, equipped with a user-friendly mobile app.
The project aims to explore the feasibility of market entry to the U.S. in the pre-screening and treatment device markets.

Spinverse’s role
Spinverse experts supported the coordinator throughout the two-stage LIFE Strategic Nature Project application process from concept note development to submitting the final proposal.
The support included workshops that brought together the proposal team to sharpen the project concept and focus the application on the most relevant and critical aspects of Lithuania's
Prioritised Action Framework for Natura 2000 and the forthcoming National Restoration Plan.
Spinverse’s strategic guidance, hands-on support and thorough quality reviews helped us focus on the critical aspects, strengthen the proposal logic and present its impacts convincingly. Their LIFE expertise gave our team confidence and contributed significantly to the proposal’s high quality and successful funding outcome.”
