A lot has happened since our last update, so we've got some exciting news to share!
Our National Science Foundation SBIR grant is officially awarded. This means we have $275k from the federal government to continue our research. This grant specifically funds development of our autoinjector mechanism and testing of the stability of our custom formulation of naloxone. There are a lot of reasons to be excited about this:
We’re excited to welcome Al Moghaddam to our team as Chief Commercial Officer. Most Recently, Al served as the global general manager for the Masimo Opioid Halo, reporting to the CEO of the industry leading medical device company. Put simply, Al was responsible for commercializing our predecessor technology.
After leaving Masimo, Al saw the work that we were doing, and was so excited by its potential that he chose to join the team. He brings deep knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry, and opioid and overdose prevention markets. His primary responsibilities will include shaping our go-to-market strategy as well as supporting our regulatory, product development, and fundraising efforts. Welcome Al!

We conducted our first feasibility study with a prototype Resilient Monitor in Q3 2023. We studied 30 healthy volunteers across a range of skin tones and BMIs to calibrate the Resilient Monitor's ability to measure heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation (these vital signs are then interpreted to detect opioid overdose).
With this data, we've demonstrated ability to measure heart rate and respiratory rate within FDA standards, and informed minor design changes that will improve our oxygen saturation readings.
