The Advisory Board was formed to provide counsel and guidance to the Company and its senior management, CEO Phil Bosua and Chairman and Founder, Ron Erickson. The Advisory Board is chaired by Know Labs Chief Medical Officer, James (Andy) Anderson, M.D.

The initial members of the Advisory Board in addition to Dr. Anderson are G. Alexander (Zan) Fleming, M.D. and David C. Klonoff, M.D.

In assembling the Know Labs Advisory Board, Dr. Anderson remarked, “I wanted to bring together a team of experienced diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease experts who can guide us as we bring the remarkable Know Labs technology to the market. I have no doubt we will be successful and will make a significant difference in people’s lives. I look forward to the active engagement of the Advisory Board as we progress toward approval and launch of our first group of non-invasive UBAND wearable devices including the UBAND Calorie Counter and the first truly non-invasive UBAND Continuous Glucose Monitor. Our just concluded meeting at the Know Labs laboratory was extremely productive. We are all excited by the promise of the Know Labs technology in diabetes and cardiometabolic disease, and the future expansion into additional health and wellness, and medical therapeutic areas.”

Dr. Fleming, speaking for the group, said, “We were drawn to Know Labs by their innovative technology and their exuberant commitment to success as well as our long term trusted working relationship with Andy Anderson. We leave our first meeting full of energy and enthusiasm for the Know Labs technology, its team and its application to human health and diagnostics. We will give laser focus to assisting with bringing the UBAND CGM to market as soon as possible.”

The backgrounds of the members of the Advisory Board provide a broad breadth and depth of experience to guide Know Labs as it first introduces its non-invasive wearable UBAND Calorie Counter to then be followed by submission to the US Food and Drug Administration of its non-invasive wearable UBAND Continuous Glucose Monitor.

He led reviews of landmark approvals including metformin, as well as the first statin, human insulin analog, PPAR-agonist, and growth hormone for non-GH deficiency indications. Dr. Fleming oversaw clinical review of the earliest biotech products including human insulin and growth hormone. He helped to shape FDA policies and practices related to therapeutic review and regulatory communication. He was a major contributor to FDA's Good Review Practice (GRP) initiative and led the committee responsible for education and training at CDER.
