We are a Texas based Sleep Medicine program providng integration of sleep apnea testing for Adults and children across the world. Many sleep disorders like sleep apnea, ADHD-related sleep disorders, Sleep Paralysis and Narcolepsy are inherited so we focus on the family and not just the patient. We have a patient-centered approach to decision-making for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care.
We can proudly say that we are the only Sleep Center in Texas that provides integrated medical therapy of sleep apnea under one roof. We provide consultation, sleep apnea test (home testing and in-center testing), sleep apnea related blood testing, CPAP/BIPAP devices, weight loss therapy, Testosterone Hormone therapy and sleep apnea devices such as customized Mandibular Repositioning Devices (also called as sleep apnea mouth guard, night guard for sleep apnea). Here, Adult and Pediatric sleep disorders are directly supervised by a Board Certified Adult and Pediatric Sleep Physician with 25 years of experience.
Our DME provides CPAP/BIPAP devices and their supplies at the Institute and its digital platform (www.thepapstore.com) and we make it easy to get your supplies and doctor visits at the same place. We regularly ship supplies to all our customers all over the US and overseas. We have over two decades of Physician/Staff expertise in setting up CPAP/BIPAP therapy. Our comfortable, state-of-the-art sleep rooms are available even during the day to our patients for fitting and trial sessions for masks or PAP devices.
We were the first to consistently recommend BIPAP therapy over CPAP therapy12 years ago for sleep apnea patients with heart disease. A CPAP device blows compressed air continuously so as to keep the airway from collapsing while asleep in a patient who has sleep apnea. A BIPAP provides significantly better control on air pressure so as to allow reduced work of breathing while exhaling.
Dr. Ghuge made the discovery that BIPAP therapy reduced blood pressure better than CPAP. Dr. Ghuge presented the paper at the national conference of APSS in 2017 and published it in the journal, SLEEP, in 2017.
Dr. Ghuge made the discovery that BIPAP therapy could cure pulmonary artery hypertension caused by Obstructive Sleep Apnea. He shared this exciting finding with the world at the national APSS conference in 2018 and published the paper in the journal, SLEEP, in 2018.
We were the first to combine BIPAP therapy with Mandibular Repositioning Devices in 2013 to lower air pressure burden on the heart/lungs and reduce peripheral water retention. We were able to show we could reduce body weight caused by water retention from CPAP by as much as by 21 lbs combining these therapies. This finding was presented at the national APSS conference in 2014 and published in the Journal, SLEEP, in 2014.
Our Sleep Physician, Dr. Ghuge, invented the revolutionary concept of "connected arc-of-motion" and "On-Demand-Airflow" to increase airway size. He patented these concepts and built the unique flange technologies that go into FDA-cleared AIO™ BREATHE™, the sleep apnea medical device that alleviates OSA and snoring during sleep.
AIOMEGA's athletic performance line of sports oral appliances AIO™ SWIFT™, GRIT™, BRUT™, REVIVE™ and UNIVERSE™ are now exclusively available through Sleep Medicine Institute of Texas. They use AIOMEGA's unique flange technology to custom-maximize performance in individual athletes. These sports oral appliances are the first in the world to increase airway size during performance or training. They optimize VO2 max and on-demand airflow for improved athletic performance and rapid recovery. Call us at (903) 787-7533 or email us and ask us how we can help you with your sports/athletic dreams.
AIO™ BRUT™/GRIT™/SWIFT™ rely on the patented REVIVE™ Airflow Protection technology and REVIVE™ Airflow Protection System to combine REVIVE™ On-Demand Airflow and REVIVE™ Airflow Protection for athletes to maintain airflow even during times of concussion.
Our Sleep Physician, Dr. Ghuge is the inventor of a new and unique balloon catheter technology and Robotic AI driven cardiac procedure (Patent Pending) that will allow Interventional Cardiologists to melt and remove lipid plaque or fat from arteries around the heart and blood vessels in other organs, potentially reducing need for stents or bypass surgery. He has also invented new techniques and AI driven Robotic technologies to remodel heart valves (Patent Pending) and potentially restore heart valves and reduce need for artificial valves.
We invested in technology of the future, aimed at heart disease and stroke prevention, at the institute. In 2014 we incorporated a unique method for continuous non-invasive blood pressure recording in our in-lab sleep studies. First in Texas and the only sleep center in East Texas to do so, it not only provides deep insights to the causation of strokes, heart attacks and arrhythmia during sleep, but it gives us the tools to find the best solutions for preventing them.
For patients who simply cannot or do not want to use a CPAP/BIPAP, and for those who find it difficult to take it on the road, put your mind to rest and look no further. We can custom-build the AIO BREATHE oral appliance for you.
Almost 85% of people who snore have not yet seen the sleep physician or a dentist because of fear they will be forced to wear a CPAP. Dr. Ghuge designed, developed and patented the world's first on-demand airflow mandibular repositioning device, the AIO BREATHE for you. Call us at (903) 787-7533 to make an appointment and find out if AIO BREATHE is right for you.

Read MoreThe US FDA cleared AIOMEGA LLC's medical device, AIO BREATHE for treatment of moderate/mild OSA and Snoring on 02/23/2024.
AIO BREATHE is the first Mandibular Reposittioning Device to use the natural arc-of-motion of the jawbone to increase the airway size and create on-demand airflow.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a serious medical condition characterized by recurrent episodes of oxygen deprivation that occur over a lifetime during sleep and progressively worsens as a person ages. It should not be left untreated or undiagnosed. Individuals with OSA need treatment, whether it is CPAP/BIPAP or AIO BREATHE.
Strengths of AIO BREATHE
The AIO BREATHE follows the arc-of-motion of the jawbone thus advancing the tongue in a very natural way and provides on-demand airflow. AIO BREATHE is the first device that increases the size of the airway while others only prevent airway closure during sleep.
The unique features of this Mandibular Repositioning Device which are its light weight and small formfactor makes AIO BREATHE an attractive option for those who seek treatment of OSA yet place ease of use and portability over heavy cumbersome medical devices or surgically permanently implanted devices.
If you have questions, please call Sleep Medicine Institute of Texas at (903) 787-7533 or email us at Request an Appointment at the Sleep Medicine Institute of Texas (sleeptyler.com). A consultation with our Sleep Physicians or Dentist may help determine if AIO BREATHE is right for you. You may also email AIOMEGA directly at info@aiomd.com.

FDA clears AIOMEGA’s AIO Breathe, for treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
February 23, 2024, Tyler, Texas, USA.
AIOMEGA, a Texas biomedical company, announced that AIO BREATHE, their medical device that treats Obstructive Sleep Apnea, has been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration.
AIO BREATHE is a “new mandibular repositioning device” designed by Tyler, Texas based Board Certified Sleep Physician Dr. Raghavendra V. Ghuge, MD, MBA, DABSM, FAASM. Ghuge is the founder and CEO of AIOMEGA.
“I designed AIO BREATHE, supported by multiple patents, to overcome several shortcomings of conventional oral appliances used for treatment of OSA”, said Dr. Ghuge
AIO Breathe Summary
AIO Breathe acts by increasing the patient’s airway during sleep, improving ability to exchange air, thereby reducing the tendency to snore and alleviating signs of obstructive sleep apnea.
AIO Breathe features right and left protrusive flanges that engage with corresponding right and left vertical flanges. This engagement repositions the jaw to reflect the dentist’s prescribed anterior mandibular advancement and is maintained while mouth is open or closed.
Additionally, mandibular plateaus guide the mandible downward, thus opening the anterior airway. The plateaus and flanges allow vertical opening of the jaw and work together to maintain advancement in open and closed mouth positions.
Indications for Use
AIO Breathe is intended to reduce or alleviate snoring and mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) while sleeping in adults.
General Information
The unique features of this Mandibular Repositioning Device along with light weight and small formfactor provides an attractive option for those who seek treatment of OSA.
OSA, a chronic medical sleep disorder affecting about 30% of the world’s population, is associated with lifelong oxygen deprivation and snoring during sleep. This may result in many cardiovascular and neurological complications such as Hypertension, Atrial Fibrillation, stroke, congestive heart failure and metabolic complications such as obesity and Diabetes. The conventional treatment of OSA is a CPAP device although a significant number of patients refuse or fail such therapy, and many are reluctant to seek help on account of hearing negative reports about CPAP. AIOMEGA’s AIO Breathe could provide a comfortable, convenient method of treatment to people around the world.
