Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

It wasn't the smooth delivery of insulin every five minutes.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

That was the game factor.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

It was when was the right time to deliver the insulin in the first place.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

Yeah, and maybe that's, you know, we can jump into the islet pump.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

How is that designed to kind of, you know, have that dual mandate of one accuracy and being able to deliver the right insulin at the right time, but also that ease of use factor?

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

Interesting.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

And I was about to ask, kind of dive in a little bit deeper into that carb counting, because that is an important input for some of these other pumps.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

I was going to ask how your algorithm is able to avoid requiring those carb counting.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

But it sounds like it takes, it's a few days of learning the patient's behavior.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

So is it kind of, your algorithm is being able to use kind of that big data machine learning capabilities to be able to

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

Maybe the same thing as we're talking about, understanding the patient and the impact of the carbs before the patient even realizes it.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

Yeah.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

And so, I mean, we're focused on carb counting.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

Is that kind of the key kind of benefit, ease of use that the patients get?

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

Are there other ones as well that are worthwhile to note here?

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

I have a question.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

How do the engineers at Beta Bionics enjoy or maybe not so much enjoy the fact that you're a user as well and you can give some first person inputs on the device?

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

Oh, yeah.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

And so then, you know, kind of leading up to the launch itself a few years ago, you know, the randomized pivotal trial data came out.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

What was some of the highlights of that data that kind of pointed to these benefits that we've been discussing?
