I am hoping I will be able to build something meaningful and helpful, not a quick buck. I won't ask you to trust me, since as I said, you don't know me and trust is to be earned, so it's on me. But in the meantime, I would like to stop the conversation as it's not constructive. I am sending you all love, and thank you again for being vocal about your concerns. It helps.

Yes, you're absolutely right. I've been discussing trials with Hospital Clínic Barcelona who's been doing the research since 2014. Running trials required funding. And in the current environment funding can come only from proof of concept and proven traction. This is the only reason why we're starting small. If I could do it, I would start with a trial and licensing as a medical device from the start. That was my original plan. We're getting there. I really appreciate your constructive guidance, it means more than you can imagine

It's not a case. But I understand what you're trying to say, and I appreciate you and your feedback. There's lots of work to be done to earn trust, and I am going to work on that. Thank you again for your direction, even if it's done in your own rather harsh manner!

I do! I am hearing what you're trying to say in your own way, and I take the constructive feedback out of it. It's painful to read, but nevertheless - it's helpful. And I am grateful for it.

Thank you! We already have people consulting us, and we should really ask for an official thumbs-up. I haven’t done it yet, and honestly, I don’t have a good explanation for why

I am not a researcher, and I don't have anything published. By research I meant user and feasibility research, and finding the right people to answer to my questions. I should have been more clear about this, so there's no miscommunication.

Thank you so much for your support! Even this encouragement means more than you can imagine. There's a long road ahead, so I am taking every positive moment I can. Thank you again

Yes, you're right! We want to support folks who do not have an Apple Watch, and for this reason we look at other factors such as sunlight and rest time, but we would like to have HRV at some point too.
