I’ll declare upfront that I don’t know much in depth about the medical conditions involved here, but anecdotally from personal experience with aging relatives and friends, I know that the managing of renal and heart failure is a massive issue. Drugs are well established for managing these conditions for many years, however, patient outcomes can vary hugely depending on how well the patient condition is monitored and the dosing regime adjusted. If $IPD’s tech helps there the potential huge size of the market makes it very interesting. So, it is now on my reading list to learn more.

$IPD looks well-priced/expensive at the moment, but it is very early days in its revenue growth journey. They’ve been able to achieve some decent revenue with a small team, and it will be interesting to see what momentum follows with the expanded team following the cap raise.

@TEPCapital thank you for putting this on the radar. You are one of the great StrawPeople for flagging promising early stage opportunities, and I always read your work carefully.
