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.
Yeah, that's a very valid question to address.
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.
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.
Just want to make sure, first off, anything else with those LED color codes that you want to make sure we cover?
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?
Okay, so if I got this correct, it actually can detect when you're sleeping?
Okay, so that's got it.
Okay, and that kind of gets us into more of that integrating it all into one device that we'll talk about a little bit later.
And so then you have the app as well.
One of the things too, just, you know, between...
the product development and the recent de novo approval as just the pivotal trial.
There was news about enrollment ending.
Was that data presented to the FDA before?
Is that clinical data going to be provided and published at one of these diabetes conferences in the near term?
Yeah.
And that's, I mean, the fact that you use, you know, venous draws, you use finger sticks and you use CGMs as all kind of as comparables, highlights, you know, because it's such a new technology, you want to make sure that you- The scientific rigor.
