While an entrepreneur who

00:00:08.508 --> 00:00:10.410
packed his bags and headed to

00:00:10.477 --> 00:00:11.578
Rotterdam to commercialise his

00:00:11.644 --> 00:00:13.546
idea for an oxygenated pillow

00:00:13.613 --> 00:00:14.180
will launch the product in just

for some

00:00:28.261 --> 00:00:29.763
>> The Oxyllow System is a

00:00:29.829 --> 00:00:33.366
pillow attachment designed to

00:00:33.433 --> 00:00:33.933
be an alternative for people

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:34.534
who don't want to sleep with a

00:00:34.601 --> 00:00:38.271
nasal cannula for supplemental

00:00:38.338 --> 00:00:38.872
oxygen. The kit is designed to

00:00:38.938 --> 00:00:42.609
connect with the standard

00:00:42.675 --> 00:00:43.243
oxygen concentrate used at home,

00:00:43.309 --> 00:00:44.978
which are common for patients

00:00:45.044 --> 00:00:45.612
with COPD, emphysema, or anyone

00:00:45.678 --> 00:00:50.283
needing supplemental oxygen.

The kit creating oxygen rich

pocket on the pillow, like a

00:00:53.653 --> 00:00:54.120
cloud of oxygen, near the

person's face.

00:01:21.881 --> 00:01:22.449
>> I was looking for a program

00:01:22.515 --> 00:01:24.217
that could help me and hold my

00:01:24.284 --> 00:01:24.851
hand in the sense of helping me

00:01:24.918 --> 00:01:25.084
do this.

One to launching the product.

00:01:29.622 --> 00:01:30.123
For me, Notre dame has been

00:01:30.190 --> 00:01:32.859
super influential in terms of

00:01:32.926 --> 00:01:37.263
having someone in my backpack

00:01:37.330 --> 00:01:37.497
it to --

00:01:37.564 --> 00:01:39.399
back pocket to say hey here's

00:01:39.466 --> 00:01:44.437
where I'm at, or sometimes I

00:01:44.504 --> 00:01:45.038
rely heavily on the network to

00:01:45.104 --> 00:01:45.605
guide me on what I should be

00:01:45.672 --> 00:01:51.211
doing when.

high potential start-up.

00:01:56.349 --> 00:01:56.749
The pillow will launch

00:01:56.816 --> 00:02:00.019
commercially next month.

Good news for millions of

00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:01.087
Americans use Ali Lily and

00:02:01.154 --> 00:02:03.990
company insulin.

The Indianapolis-based

00:02:04.524 --> 00:02:08.027
pharmaceutical company is

00:02:08.094 --> 00:02:08.628
cutting prices by 70% for some

of its most commonly prescribed

00:02:11.865 --> 00:02:12.365
insolence. Lily also said it

00:02:12.432 --> 00:02:15.368
will expand a program that caps

00:02:15.435 --> 00:02:15.969
patient out-of-pocket costs at

00:02:16.035 --> 00:02:18.171
$35 or less a month.

>> Were just one part of the

00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:21.174
equation with the manufacturer

00:02:21.241 --> 00:02:27.213
of insulin.

00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:27.814
We can control the list price,

00:02:27.881 --> 00:02:28.448
but the list price and practice

00:02:28.515 --> 00:02:30.550
very rhythms from the pharmacy

counter. So changing nappies

00:02:31.518 --> 00:02:34.988
which we can without disrupting

00:02:35.054 --> 00:02:35.555
the access that most people

00:02:35.622 --> 00:02:36.623
have too little insulin.

00:02:36.689 --> 00:02:41.761
And we bedded the support.

00:02:41.828 --> 00:02:46.432
>> Eli Lilly was the first

00:02:46.499 --> 00:02:47.066
company to mass produce insulin

00:02:47.133 --> 00:02:47.600
in the 1920s from pancreas

00:02:47.667 --> 00:02:49.569
kinds of livestock.

00:02:49.636 --> 00:02:51.804
Today, insulin remains release

00:02:51.871 --> 00:02:53.606
oldest and perhaps most famous

00:02:53.673 --> 00:02:55.775
franchise. --
