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

There you go.

If I'm out here at the recording studio and I have a spike because I drank some juice, I would miss out on it.

And then even something too, like, oh, if I eat the bagel before I run or if I run before the bagel, you can see the trends and how that differs and everything.

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

Yeah.

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

That's a perfect segue.

Let's jump into the tool now, the Shine.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

How did that development process start?

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

It's not simply, I can work on this overnight as my PhD project and get it done.

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

What was the process to kind of develop and understand that this could work as a viable sensor?

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

Well, it's actually very interesting because that was like the reason between finger sticks and subcutaneous CGMs was the fact that having the access directly to the blood allowed you to measure the blood circulation.

levels in the blood directly versus some sort of translation.

And so, yeah, you would think, a layman would conceptually think, well, if the subcutaneous is not as accurate as the blood, then going further out, the dermal.

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

Yeah, that's a very valid question to address.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

It was during that first in human study, you also had to figure out whether or not the microchip that you're using was able to work or not.

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

Was this one of those things where you had to develop the chip component to understand it, or is it something where you had to figure out what you were looking for in the dermal, in the skin, and then create the chip around that?

And let's talk about some of the other features, because we kind of quickly went over the color-coded LED display on the device itself.

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

Just want to make sure, first off, anything else with those LED color codes that you want to make sure we cover?

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

And what other kind of features on the form factor are there that may be differentiated from kind of the currency GM products that are out there?

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

Okay, so if I got this correct, it actually can detect when you're sleeping?

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

Okay, so that's got it.
