Dennis explained "I am delighted to be joining the Milo Sensors Board of Directors. As an early investor in Milo Sensors, I have been able to witness the growth in wearable sensor expertise by the Milo Sensors team the past five years. The impact of a DUI on your life, and the lives of other people, can be extensive and profound. Milo Sensors' ION® Wearable is a significant advance in understanding an individual's alcohol consumption and can serve as a tool to reenter society following a DUI under court supervision. The ION® Platform could potentially serve as a marker for additional disease processes of interest to the pharmaceutical industry."

I am optimistic that Milo Sensors can follow in the footsteps of some of the giant companies that he has helped to advance. We are thrilled to be working with Dennis to advance our mission of helping to rebuild lives that have been devastated by alcohol."
