Example Review Comments
Pinnacle Technology
“Only an artist’s conception of the receiving software is available”“Evidence was not presented indicating that extracellular glucose
concentrations in the brain differ in different brain locations and that brain glucose is significantly different from systemic blood glucose.”
“The scientific significance of using such a device was not well documented”“Projected sales too aggressive – too unrealistic”
____________________________________________________________
“Enthusiasm for this project is extremely high; no major weaknesses; great need in the community for developing devices like the one proposed”
“Highly specialized solution for limited market; proof of concept suggests the system is viable and can go into production without SBIR support”
