* Existing glucose meter + need to measure HbA1c
* Key value propositions
* Low cost More frequent tests and
* Home testing better diabetes
management
* Already have PGM Total available
market = $1.2
* Large market billion
* Patient population is huge
Serviceable Available
Market = $600 million

(I) spent a lot of time,
money looking at this
(HbA1c) market for
LifeScan – stay away. The best test is one
where the result
affects the behavior.
Find a test where
immediate results have
value.
6. *
“You might even have a
flexible Drugs of Abuse
Analyzer “Bank” which
is actually a rack which
holds a number of small
individual analyzers.”
“The “Holy Grail” now is
matching drug dosages to
individual patients based on a
wide range of factors (age,
weight, gender, ethnicity, body
chemistry, etc.)
So ONE DOSE DOES NOT FIT
ALL”
7. *
* Immediacy
* Inexpensive/cost savings
* Multiple tests
* Short and inexpensive
development cycles
…….became our value propositions
8. *
* Home monitoring of HbA1c does not meet
immediacy requirement
* Large effort is necessary to promote the usage of
home HbA1c test kit in the US
* Competition from product from Bayer
* Large regulatory hurdle
* One market that meets all the value
propositions is drug monitoring during
clinical trials and after the market

* Better drug monitoring reduces the costs of drug
development
* “One-drug-for-all” is gone; new drugs are more likely
to be effective for certain patients at certain dosage.
* They are willing to provide financial support
* They only want to buy the final products
* Therefore we need to find partners

Notes de l'éditeur
ImmediacyInstant results gives a reaction time advantage over tests done in a lab settingInexpensiveBy taking tests out of the lab and letting patients do them at home, we can save insurance companies a lot of money. Potential advantage in emerging markets too. Multiple testsMultiple tests (markers) for the same health care issue (glucose and cholesterol for diabetics, for example) leverage the same device. This translates into cost advantage, efficiency for the patience and may improve compliance. Short and inexpensive development cyclesMakes it practical to develop POC tests for indications with small populations such as during drug clinical trials
