Last week I found another reference for our project. I talked to Pediatrician Dr. Elias Milgram this is his website: < http://www.drmilgram.com/Home > Dr. Milgram offered himself to help us in our further development of the product by giving feedback on the medical point of view of our product development. He is an extremely talented and a well known doctor among the Pediatric community. Dr. Milgram currently works in Miami, FL. In my last interview with him, Dr. Milgram claimed to be interested on our product and believed on the feasibility of our idea. Nonetheless, he stressed on the importance of having the right pressure for the needles to reach the skin deepness required. Moreover, he also pointed the relevance of having a way of standardizing the test in some way so that allergologists can actually make diagnostics based on the wheal size.
That's great, David. It's good to see that people are interested in the project. It's also good to see that they're raising the same concerns that we have ourselves about standardization, deepness, and pressure. The ideas we have about a plunger/applicator that uniformly presses identical needles covers uniformity within a single test, but we may also need to design the applicator such that pressure is uniform between applications.
