In this podcast, we spoke with the CEO and founder of Supersapiens, the company that is on a mission to use real-time glucose insights to shape the future of human performance.
Phil discusses his personal motivations for starting Supersapiens as a Type1 diabetic and his love for entrepreneurship. He also gave us exclusive insights into the company's long-time partnership with Abbott and how the American medical company has built a unique real-time streaming sensor for its use case.
