What Is the Genio System?a

Genio is a hypoglossal nerve stimulator made by Nyxoah and FDA-approved in 2025. It treats obstructive sleep apnea by gently stimulating the nerve that controls your tongue, keeping your airway open while you sleep — without a CPAP machine.
The implant is placed under the chin through a single small incision. It has no internal battery and no wires running through your chest. At night, you attach a small adhesive patch to your neck. That's it. No mask. No hose. No machine on your nightstand. A companion smartphone app lets you adjust your comfort settings, track your sleep progress, and manage your therapy over time.a

How Genio Worksa

1. A small implant is placed under your chin through a single incision in a one-time outpatient procedure that takes about 90 minutes.
2. Each night, you attach a small adhesive patch to your neck. The patch wirelessly powers the implant — no charging, no cables.
3. While you sleep, the Genio system delivers gentle stimulation to both sides of your hypoglossal nerve, moving your tongue forward and keeping your airway open all night.
