Get an idea of who you are.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

They're going to start with your weight.

Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

They're going to not guess, but rule of thumb, your insulin sensitivity and your carb factor and all these variables that we have with how your body works.

and they're gonna enter those into the pump.

Our product starts with your weight, and again, because these are rules of thumb, we can use that weight, and then we learn and adapt to you automatically.

So rather than going back to your doctor every three months to have them read your glucose charts and try and guess at how your variables are different than what's currently programmed into the pump, we're gonna do that on our own, usually within a few days.

It just removes the burden of the healthcare provider and really ensures that that pump worked perfectly for you

The whole time, which also is an interesting benefit, opening up the technology to health care providers that don't necessarily have the skill sets to manage an insulin pump.

And of course, I'm talking about primary care physicians here who manage, frankly, most of the patients with both type one as well as type two diabetes.

Yeah.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

Great question.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

So there's a couple layers to that one.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

And let me start with the fact that what our algorithm asks you to do is announce that you're eating a usual meal, a meal that's less than usual or more than usual.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

And what does that mean?

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

What is a usual meal?

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

I don't know.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

You tell me it means usual for you.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

And, um, that's what the product is going to learn.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence
Beta Bionics Does the Work to Reduce Insulin Pump Burden

Why can we do that with a smaller number of buckets, three buckets rather than, you know, if you're counting carbs, you can enter any number.

Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence

And the reason is, frankly, that people are really bad at carb counting.
