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

Well, three things are required for that to happen.

Real-time feedback passively when teachable moments arise.

So how do you give that feedback in real time when a teachable moment happens?

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

You can't tell when you're going to have a teachable moment.

So this is why we decided to create a wearable experience where we have the sensor on the forearm of all places.

So glucose sensors are known to be placed on the back of the upper arm, on the abdomen in the early years.

And we moved it to the forearm because it is highly visible.

It is the least touched area on your body.

And we put a color-coded display on the wearable so that we can let you know when your glucose excursions happen in real time through color schemas, right?

Everybody understands color schemas.

You don't have to translate it into 70 different languages.

And so when you're in your target range, we have this blue LED light that glows on and off.

And when your glucose levels are high, it turns yellow on and off.

And so if I drink a glass of orange juice and I can see in my peripheral vision that my wearable turned from blue to yellow, that supports cognitive restructuring because now I can relate orange juice caused a high.

And once I have that correlation,

This then triggers that teachable moment.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

Well, what do I do about it?

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

I could finish that glass of orange juice and I can stay yellow and I can see that yellow on my forearm, but it allows me to finish that glass of orange juice and I could take a 10-minute walk.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

And 15 minute walk and I can see that yellow come back down to blue.

So now I've learned, well, orange juice made me spike, but I can do something about it and bring me back down.
