Prapela is a medical equipment manufacturer based in Portland, Maine, focused on noninvasive stimulation therapy designed to support breathing and oxygenation in newborns. Grounded in the science of stochastic resonance, the company’s approach aims to improve breathing rhythm and lung function through precise, gentle stimulation, with ongoing clinical evaluation supported by awards and grants since 2017. Its work targets newborns affected by conditions such as opioid exposure and apnea of prematurity, seeking safer or more effective management of respiratory challenges in the neonatal period. In addition to its core therapy, Prapela has expanded to deliver a product aimed at soothing irritable newborns in safe-sleep environments, exemplified by the launch of the Prapela SVS baby box in 2019. The organization operates in the medical equipment manufacturing industry, and its activities are concentrated in a small company size, with a focus on developing solutions for neonatal respiratory care and related infant support tools.
