Biolinq Introduces New Silicon Tech Opens Next Chapter of Glucose and Analyte Detection

This is the largest population of people that need a solution.

Finger sticks alone are not enough, right?

So one or two finger sticks a day won't give you any trends, right?

And for the type 2, the broader type 2 population, what is even more meaningful is context.

So providing a glucose number alone...

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

may not be enough because for people that don't take insulin, the numbers, there's nothing they can do about them.

So you're more than just a number.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

So we took an approach to make sure that we have glucose information combined with activity and sleep.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

So we were able to see and capture behavior, right?

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

And glucose information so we can derive appropriate insights

to drive sustainable opportunities to create new habits and hopefully sustainable behavior change.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

So context is the key here.

Biolinq Introduces New Silicon Tech Opens Next Chapter of Glucose and Analyte Detection

And in a world where we have so many wearables now, we have smart rings, smart watches, glucose sensors, and it's challenging to integrate all of this information on the back end by the user through different sources to make sense of all that information.

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

So we decided to make it available to everybody all in one wearable device so you don't have to synchronize date and timestamps, try to coordinate all the information and have it there and have it be insight driven.

And we put inspiration into everything that we do.

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

So to inform is one thing.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

To inform and inspire has been our charter.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

So if we capture this information, how do we provide a better user engagement to drive healthier decisions?

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

This is where behavioral science comes in.

So how do we support sustainable behavior change and support cognitive restructuring?
