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

Sure.

I snooze it.

and they never see how long they stay high until you look at it retrospectively.

Actually, in my case right now, I just left my phone on my desk.

Even the timing in order of what you eat over a meal, for example, eating the high fiber foods first, vegetables first before your protein, all of these things make a difference.

And so if we do nothing further...

The metabolic health literacy opportunity here is profound.

Everybody should know their relationship with the foods they like, activity or lack of, and sleep.

And so because all of this leads to a pillar in metabolic health literacy.

that could extend human healthspan.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

It is one of the most important pillars to understand.

We just haven't had the tools to allow it to be easily used needle-free for mainstream adoption.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

And to add to that just really quickly, how do you validate that in humans?

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

That is the big question.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

So how do you architect the geometry of these micro sensors so that you know it's where it needs to be in the skin?

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

So the thickness of the human skin is actually fairly uniform.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

It's in peer reviewed literature.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

And so we did digital biopsies of every person that wore the sensor so that we can see the depth of placement in the skin so that we're actually in the papillary dermis.

And then we can interrogate the signals for each one of these sensors in the skin.

And that's how we knew we were at the right place at the right geometry.
