Proteus is pioneering Intelligent Medicine: personalizing therapy by connecting it to your mobile phone via the internet. There are over 4B cell phones on the planet. The mobile internet is like a new utility to go with water, electricity and gas – and it is more available than all three. Hundreds of millions of folks on this new utility grid are patients and families taking care of themselves or a loved one. They are unrecognized, unrewarded and they have no tools. The big question is how do pharmaceutical companies and health care providers tap into this already existing network and use it to deliver value? At Proteus we believe that THE DRUG IS THE PLUG. Proteus makes a computer chip made from food ingredients specifically designed to be co-manufactured with drugs at ultra low cost. Mr. Thompson is President, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Proteus Biomedical and has led the company since inception. His vision for Intelligent Medicine is focused on expanding global access to care, dramatically increasing the value delivered by drugs and creating a sustainable model for innovation that leverages computer technology in healthcare.
