is internationally recognized as one of the most experienced
surgeons performing HGNS procedures. He has lectured worldwide on
obstructive sleep apnea, has numerous publications and is co-editor
of the first book on HGNS.
“As an academic physician who has dedicated my
professional career to the care of patients with sleep disordered
breathing, I was privileged to participate in the DREAM U.S.
pivotal trial. I was initially impressed by the results I saw in my
patients and then equally impressed by the data that were recently
reported. As such, I am honored to have been offered a position to
join Nyxoah at such an exciting time. Bilateral hypoglossal nerve
stimulation with Genio has tremendous potential and I am thrilled
to work with their talented team to make a meaningful impact on the
lives of patients with obstructive sleep apnea,” commented Dr.
Boon.

join Nyxoah. He is one of the pioneers in hypoglossal nerve
stimulation and his decision to become Nyxoah’s Chief Medical
Officer reflects Genio’s ability to improve the lives of OSA
patients,” commented Olivier Taelman, Chief Executive Officer. “Dr.
Boon will play a critical role as we prepare to enter the U.S.
market and achieve our mission of making sleep simple again.”
