I found out about it just by searching for sleep apnea surgery or some such. Then I got a referral for a sleep study I think and from there a referral to the particular doctor who evaluated me and later did the surgery.
The way it works is stimulating a nerve that triggers a muscle that moves my tongue forward, and it does so once every few seconds (meant to match my breaths I think).
The remote is used to turn it on (with a delay so I fall asleep before it actually starts), delay it if I wake up in the night, and turn it off in the morning. Also controls the intensity which has to be enough to work but not wake me up.
