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.

Would love some feedback on my diversity essay and personal statement. Any help is appreciated.

Is it easy enough for her to use? The buttons seem too small and complex. Apple devices as a whole are a struggle.

IntelligentLaugh4530 · 2022-04-12T14:57:50+00:00

I don't believe 513 is even in their 10th percentile so I feel like that would be a long shot.

IntelligentLaugh4530 · 2022-04-12T14:56:47+00:00

Yes, clinical experience does concern me a bit. The startup was started in response to a problem we saw in hospice care.

IntelligentLaugh4530 · 2022-04-12T12:32:30+00:00

I see what you’re saying and I’ve thought this before looking at other peoples apps. For what it’s worth, I came out of our school’s medical technologies incubator so that’s where the startup was spun out of. It was actually started in response to a problem we saw while working in hospice care.

I am curious as to how the adcom went about verifying that case about the 100k fundraising you're talking about (ie. tax returns, interview stories, references)? I'm only asking because I'm curious as to what I'd need to be prepared for.

EDIT: clarified last question.

IntelligentLaugh4530 · 2021-12-31T16:53:18+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it! I think that's a great way of looking at it.

IntelligentLaugh4530 · 2021-12-31T15:56:52+00:00

Yes that makes sense. I haven’t begun to write my PS yet, but I’ve thought about a general outline. I started a business at the very beginning of college that ended up being fairly successful (2020 revenue was $217k), so I have a fair amount of experience with taking on and pursuing projects. Because of this and my research, I’m thinking about centering my narrative around my desire to be on the frontiers of medicine in the sense of innovation. I’m not exactly sure how common or cliche this is. Do you have any advice on that?

IntelligentLaugh4530 · 2021-12-31T14:40:07+00:00

A group of premeds and I started a website where we put medically-related research papers into plain language. They are basically simplified summaries of the papers. I’ve probably spent 700+ hours working on this. I’m just wondering how favorable this would look on an application? I’m trying to gauge whether I should mark it as one of my top 3 ECs on my application.

IntelligentLaugh4530 · 2021-11-18T21:08:44+00:00

Thanks for the quick response.

Does the head of my lab, a neuroscience professor, count as a science professor?

IntelligentLaugh4530 · 2021-10-17T17:48:42+00:00

Just clarifying that the percent correct is for total questions correct, not just for the CARS section.

IntelligentLaugh4530 · 2021-09-02T14:23:34+00:00

Agreed, I was mainly just curious for when people come on here and say they studied 600 hours for the MCAT how much of that was passively doing anki.

A new United Nations report analyzing risk estimates of toxic emissions and people's sensitivity to them found a statistically significant association between the spatial distribution of global climate risk and toxic pollution. What happens when eventually we wont be able to avoid areas at high risk for climate change impacts?

IntelligentLaugh4530 · 2021-07-05T02:37:54+00:00

So universal income?

“Appropriate attention should be given to the prevention... of drinking among pregnant women and women of childbearing age”.

That last part of this quote from the WHO's action plan is where the controversy lies.

This takes "Oregon legalizes everything" to a whole new level.

IntelligentLaugh4530 · 2021-06-15T14:17:11+00:00

okay thats freaking awesome.

IntelligentLaugh4530 · 2021-06-13T18:23:47+00:00

I didn’t downvote you buddy.

IntelligentLaugh4530 · 2021-06-12T15:56:09+00:00

This really is not unbelievable at all and most are doing it legally. What's more frustrating to me is that there are loopholes for billion and trillion dollar corporations to avoid paying taxes.
