the treatment and management of diabetes and its complications. The company is focused on nerve related complications of diabetes,

physicians and other clinicians in retail health settings such as pharmacies, and by managed care organizations to optimize patient
care and reduce healthcare costs. The company markets the NC-stat DPNCheck device, which is a rapid, accurate, and
quantitative point-of-care test for diabetic neuropathy. This product is used to detect diabetic neuropathy at an early stage
and to guide treatment. The company is in late stage development of SENSUS , a pain management device which recently received
Food and Drug Administration clearance. The company has additional therapeutic products in its pipeline. For more information,
