Just a short note on CURA and naps....



Here, since June, there's been a lot of unsubstantiated scuttlebutt about CURA not being able to measure naps and that CURA's not primetime as a result. Someone I know asked Kaplan about it after it was first mentioned on this board, and Kaplan said there was no nap problem. I reported that here. Further, the company never said there was a nap measurement problem in any of its disclosures.

On November 16th, we learned from this board that Blair Anderson was no longer with the company (erstwhile post 32331). Actually Anderson, Payne-Rogers, Kenyon and Jones -- the entire CURA development team -- are apparently gone. And it seems they were all gone by May. In context, Kaplan announced the launch of CURA for FITBIT in his CEO update on May 7.

I ask rhetorically:
Why would the CURA development team be disbanded in May if there was still a nap problem, or any other noteworthy problems, with CURA? Why would they launch with such a problem?

They wouldn't. In either case.

Indeed, the CURA sales and operations team remains intact. Donnelly, Hill and Peckham. And the 7 PhDs on the CURA advisory board are, in fact, still on board. I saw the 2 VPs for trucking and busing on the Curaegis website a couple days ago, but can't find them now. Maybe, if all the pilots and CURA sales are being placed by a healthcare provider or insurer, maybe they're recently gone.

So it seems everything was completed by May. It also seems the Playstore and Apple downloads of the CURA app were fully ready in May too.

So, in my view, this definitely bolsters Jim Donnelly's shared expectation of hundreds of thousands of CURA B2B users in 2019, which he declared at the June 13, 2018 annual meeting. Of course, he had full access to the range of participants in the pilot programs to base this assessment. He said the pilots included names that were recognizable and impressive, according to him. Of course he said all this after May, on June 13, 2018.

So what's going on?
