Eric Nofzinger, MD, is a board certified sleep physician and founder of the Cerêve Sleep System. He invented the device after performing functional brain imaging studies that showed the frontal cortex remains active for patients with insomnia.
Dr. Nofzinger found that gently cooling a patient’s forehead within a clinically proven therapeutic range reduced frontal cortex activity and allowed patients to fall asleep faster.
Three clinical studies including more than 230 patients over 2800 research nights solidified the safety and efficacy of the device.
The system is expected to launch in 2017.
