Hey everyone did you know that over 250 companies entered the FDA Opioid Challenge? Several of the companies entering the Challenge spend more on R&D in a month than BIEL has spent on everything in its 20 years of existence.

The challenge was for all aspects of the Opioid Epidemic:

Monitoring
Opioid Use Disorder Therapy
Medication
Overdose Therapy
Medication Dispensing
Diagnostic
Pain Therapy
Other

There were two companies selected by the FDA in the Pain Therapy category:

Thermotek - Vascular Therm System, Compression/Temperature Therapy

CognifiSense, Inc. - Virtual Reality Neuropsychological Therapy (VRNT)

No one failed in the FDA Opioid Challenge, even billion $$$ Pfizer who entered and was not one of the 8 companies selected.
