I appreciate the statistics provided, but .....
While I think the products is working ok for me, I'd suggest the following improvements.
One auto adjustment of intensity of vibration if patient responsiveness falls below some threshold. e.g. If I am only compliant 60% of the time, make an option available to allow ME to increase the intensity of the vibration.
Also, improve the app to include more sleep data such as provided on mobile apps such as Sleep on Android.

Comfortable solution to positional OSA
Since I also need to address positional OSA with a Bi-PAP ASV, the Lunoa is the least intrusive way of helping me sleep on my side.
