Snoozeal was founded in 2015 in United Kingdom. Co-founder Prof. Dr Anshul Sama, working in a multidisciplinary sleep team, was deeply empathic with many of his patients that were struggling with conventional treatment options that had failed to change in the last two decades. Not dissimilar to practice in many parts of conventional medicine, the emphasis was on treatment of the end result (i.e. splinting the airway open) rather than treating the root cause- collapse of airway due to excessive loss of muscle tone. Over the years Prof Sama came across many devices, all of which had to be worn during sleep, were invariably uncomfortable, only effective when in use and further disrupted the already poor sleep quality.

CytaCoat is developing a new technology of antibacterial coating for medical devices. CytaCoat AB is a private Swedish company located in the Karolinska Institutet Science Park AB in Solna (Stockholm area). The company was founded by a group of researchers from the Karolinska Institute, one of the foremost medical universities in the world, and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). It was a special purpose vehicle started with a goal to develop a new technology of antibacterial coating for medical devices. It was based on a discovery that their proprietary polymer surface exhibits a clear effect on several of the most problematic pathogenic bacteria that pose problems in healthcare today. Since then, the company has been focused on transforming this innovation into a fully viable commercial product and make it available through licenses. CytaCoat has a fully equipped laboratory in the Karolinska Institutet Science Park, where both microbiology evaluation, optimisation of the CytaCoat technology and a pilot plant production can be performed. The company has also established contacts with clinical collaborators at Karolinska University Hospital Neonatal Unit and the Division of Clinical Microbiology. CytaCoat has also been cooperating with experienced consultants in regulatory, clinical research organisations, patent experts and providers of specialist analyses.
