Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Biolinq Introduces New Silicon Tech Opens Next Chapter of Glucose and Analyte Detection

And there's a couple areas of focus.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

One is extending the duration of wear.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Biolinq Introduces New Silicon Tech Opens Next Chapter of Glucose and Analyte Detection

So, you know, the standard devices that are out there today are around 14 days.

So that's one area of focus is one on our wearable side, you know, improving the battery life, you know, updating our connectivity so that it's fully connected to the phone.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Biolinq Introduces New Silicon Tech Opens Next Chapter of Glucose and Analyte Detection

Yeah, the Gen 1 is five days.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Biolinq Introduces New Silicon Tech Opens Next Chapter of Glucose and Analyte Detection

Five days, okay.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Biolinq Introduces New Silicon Tech Opens Next Chapter of Glucose and Analyte Detection

But yeah, we've now been running studies out to seven and 10 days showing that the approach is viable for extended duration.

So now it's around building the system around it.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

So updating the wearable hardware, which today is NFC.

So you scan to get any additional information under the app.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

Okay.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

For the insulin-using population, you have to have that Bluetooth connectivity so that, for example, in the middle of the night, if you need to be awoken, if you're hypoglycemic or something, you have to have that Bluetooth connectivity.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

So that's something we're focusing on.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

And then the third is you touched on manufacturing.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Biolinq Introduces New Silicon Tech Opens Next Chapter of Glucose and Analyte Detection

Really, before you can launch a product into the insulin-using population, you have to be at scale, right?

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Biolinq Introduces New Silicon Tech Opens Next Chapter of Glucose and Analyte Detection

We can't say, hey, you've got type 1 diabetes.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Biolinq Introduces New Silicon Tech Opens Next Chapter of Glucose and Analyte Detection

You sign up to use a BioLink sensor, and a few months in, oh, hey, we're out of stock.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Biolinq Introduces New Silicon Tech Opens Next Chapter of Glucose and Analyte Detection

Sorry, we can't send you another sensor, right?

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Biolinq Introduces New Silicon Tech Opens Next Chapter of Glucose and Analyte Detection

That's just a terrible experience.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Biolinq Introduces New Silicon Tech Opens Next Chapter of Glucose and Analyte Detection

That's really the next phase is scaling up manufacturing so we can meet that demand.
