Wesper - About Wesper: Innovating Sleep Solutions for Better Health

Our mission is to bring quality sleep and a full life to everyone.

About

Even with access to world-class medical care, many of our friends and loved ones continue to suffer silently each night. Sleep disorders are a major contributor to serious health conditions and mortality on a global scale. The ability to sleep well is essential to our overall health and quality of life.

For more than two decades, Dr. Amir Reuveny closely observed his father's ongoing struggle with poor sleep.

"Throughout my childhood, I vividly recall my father being perpetually exhausted, even during the day. His physically demanding job didn't fully explain the deep fatigue that seemed to consume him—the incessant snoring, frequent daytime naps, and persistent lethargy hinted at an underlying issue."

Driven by the profound impact of this experience, Dr. Reuveny was inspired to develop a groundbreaking solution.
