  1. Update From Meeting with IBD SpecialistDr. Shamita Shah August 18th, 2009

  2. Good News • Fully supportive of the concept • Understands importance of and our reasoning behind both devices • Supports probiotic research • Enthusiastic for future implications of this device as a “treatment/diagnostic tool” • Willing to share her own slides on IBD and give 20 presentation on her current knowledge • She has great statistics and can help us frame our device to tailor to a specific target audience

  3. Next Steps • Decide what “phase” of IBD we want to target • Early diagnostic… difficult to distinguish between UC and Crohn’s, but certainly useful • Complementary treatment: use as another “tool” for clinicians • Post-treatment diagnostic to prevent recurrence… • Dr. Shah sees this as the most promising and necessary right now w/ regards to treatment • No previous probiotic research in this field • Many cases lead to recurrence- and patients need annual colonic scopes • Meet w/ Dr. Shah again early September

  4. Challenges • We need numbers… • The “ratio” needs to be known or better understood and Dr. Shah doesn’t collect these numbers • When/how will the device be “triggered” with regards to these numbers? • Switch bacterial strain to be more sustainable in the small intestine?
