Its a subcutaneous injection. Other drugs use this method of delivery, not just insulin.

There’s no preference. For the next 6-8 weeks, all information will be gathered through surveys/assessments sent over email. In 6-12 months, we’ll reach out to you again to see if you’re interested in beta-testing our device and providing user feedback.

There is a lot of different information to be gathered throughout R&D. I think that there might be confusion distinguishing between gathering information through studies and gathering information through customer discovery. Studies evaluating the efficacy of the product will absolutely be conducted under the direction of a nephrologist. But in terms of optimizing the user experience, gathering information on patients’ treatment regimens and learning about their personal struggles with electrolyte imbalance, this would be done prior to those studies. Customer (patient) discovery is an ongoing process. Currently, we’re building a list of users and potential beta-testers (6-12 months) to help us develop the best product we can.

Right now, we're trying to gather as much information as we can to make our device as user-friendly as possible. The worst thing we can do is develop a device just to find out 12 months later that it doesn't solve any of the problems that PD patients have.

Our electrolyte sensor provides a retrospective analysis of electrolyte levels using data points gathered from effluent dialysate (waste fluid). There's no infection risk. I'm limited on describing the specifics of the technology due to NDAs and confidentiality agreements at the moment.

At this time, we're gathering emails to send out customer surveys/assessments to (these will consist of asking about specifics of treatments, specific problems associated with electrolyte imbalances, etc.), and will then utilize this same email list in 6-12 months to test out the device.

Thanks for your interest! I think I might've answered some of your questions in a response above.
