We are thrilled to welcome the PhysioLogic Devices team to Indiana's life sciences ecosystem! The California-based company is relocating its operations to Westfield to continue work on developing an automatic, implantable insulin pump to control glucose levels for people with type 1 #diabetes. #indiana #lifesciences #healthcare #insulin Portal Diabetes, Inc.
Over the last several months, PhysioLogic Devices (“PDI”) began taking steps to improve its development environment and optimize its future business environment.? The Company is engaged in a complete relocation from Southern California and Portland, Oregon, to Westfield, Indiana, where employees are now arriving with their families and where the organization is building out an 18,000 square foot development and manufacturing facility. ? ?? As the portal vein is the key to actualizing PDI’s vision of bringing a fully closed-loop insulin pump to patients, the refreshed organization is named “Portal Diabetes, Inc.” While most veins carry blood from the organs to the heart, the portal vein is the magnificent exception. It delivers blood from the intestinal organs directly to the liver, where the raw nutrients from the intestines are used in the body and toxins are disposed of.??? ? The Portal Pump pursues the physiologic path for the T1D patient. Integrating with a functioning continuous glucose monitor, Portal Diabetes can achieve the first fully closed-loop therapy to truly alleviate the burden and long-term complications of type 1 diabetes.??? ? We thank you for your support in helping Portal Diabetes realize its mission of bringing the Portal Pump to patients with type 1 diabetes. We look forward to sharing our progress with this community. ?
