6 JOHN REMMERS, MD. Dr. Remmers is a pulmonologist & clinical professor of internal medicine at the University of Calgary with an active sleep practice in the sleep lab at the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary. He is a recognized physiologist, physician, pioneer & innovator in sleep medicine, having invented products ranging from portable diagnostic sleep monitors to auto-titrating CPAP devices. A world renowned expert in the Tield of snoring & obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), being the Tirst researcher to elucidate the pathogenesis of sleep apnea & to demonstrate that sleep apnea is caused by an anatomical narrowing of the pharynx. Dr. Remmers is a well known respiratory physiologist, who contributes to the Tields of the neurobiology of respiratory rhythmogenesis, chemoreception, & the pathophysiology of the control of breathing. Published over one hundred peer reviewed publications in the area of respiratory physiology & served two terms as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Applied Physiology. His recent research has been dedicated to oral appliance therapy (OAT) to address the needs of OSA patients who are dissatistied & non-compliant with CPAP. A key factor inhibiting the widespread use of OAT is the challenge of determining which patients will respond to this therapy. With the expertise of the R&D team at Zephyr Sleep Technologies, the revolutionary product MATRx was developed & released to market to allow sleep labs to perform remote-controlled oral appliance titration during polysomnography. The MATRx test identities favorable oral appliance candidates, determines an efticacious protrusive position & provides patients with a therapeutic alternative to CPAP. MATRx will allow sleep physicians & dentists to improve the standard of care for their OSA patients.
