Health committee I think it's a brilliant idea. Speaking as somebody who actually fills out the form, any time you can simplify or automate the process...it's essentially filling out the same information on 10 separate sheets. I'm very excited about this. I have not thought about this previously

Dr. Richard Sztramko
Health committee I think it's the high-touch approach. I would never drop in on one of these communities and say, “This is what you should do.” It's really coming into contact with people like Marilee or people who are in the communities themselves. There are nursing stations in some of these com

Health committee No, that hasn't been on a road map. But that's a brilliant idea. It's something we'll definitely look into.

Health committee Not all of the tasks, but many of them. For instance, we are looking to integrate insulin pens and having the exact doses that are being administered to the patient and to track those. Regarding the communication time with the health care providers, we can certainly track that.

Health committee Absolutely. Part of the integration on our platform connects with pill distribution technology. Many people use manual blister packs. We're able to connect to technologies that will allow people to trigger alerts when they've actually gone into their blister packs to take their

Health committee Yes. For example, in heart failure the problem is that you start retaining a lot of fluid, and the fluid gets in your lungs, and you gain weight. If your baseline weight when you're at a normal fluid state is 110 pounds and all of a sudden you're going up to 115 pounds, we have a

Health committee I'm not sure exactly where the name Reliq comes from. I came on board afterwards. Thank you very much, members of the committee, for having me here today. I appreciate being part of this conversation on diabetes management in Canada. I'm a front-line practitioner. I practise in
