Identify products and services for people suffering from diabetes or those that could prevent or reduce the chances of getting diabetes. Dolcera will:
# Keep track of products and services in diabetes worldwide
# Prepare an overall knowledge map of diabetes problem: science challenge/technical challenge and map them to food and other products
# Track emerging patents and technical trends related to food and beverages for diabetes
# Provide ongoing monitoring service that keeps clients up to speed over time
The report should be similar to the [http://www.dolcera.com/wiki/index.php?title=Alopecia_-_Hair_Loss alopecia report], with the ''science'' driving the story.
Geographies of interest:
* Japan, US and Western Europe: for science
* Australia, NZ may be an area of interest: might have some good things going on in the food areas
Other notes:
* Client is not so much interested in competition: not a big deal
* "Try to develop products to create a new market: e.g. Oreo cookies without sugar; what kind of flavor or taste technology needed - what are the emerging technologies that could preserve taste and good mouth feel without sugar?"
* Interested in patents and technologies in diabetes
* Sugar-free is not the only thing
* Map the science and knowledge map of diabetes: disease states and food products
'''Dec 26 - more notes from the client'''
I know that you are focused on sugar based products. But, I know that transfats made from hydrogenating vegtable oils is a big issue and timely as well. So we need to make sure we are covering enough of the diabetes food related problem so that they can see that there is a lot that they will want to track.
Also, they will want some ready to go products already exiting in the world that they could add to their food lineup.
They sell cheeses, snacks and so on. But about any food items that are sold via mass are ok.
