How do you justify the price of $1k/mo? -- isn't that a bit too much?

We have made significant progress towards lowering the price of our system, considering that similar devices up until now cost $75k-$150k. But it is still quite expensive for the vast majority. Our price will continue to reduce over time, making it more accessible for both families and insurance.

This doesn't sound like a labor of profit but more a labor of love. I'm sure the cost comes from production cost rather than an attempt to make an obscene profit. That's the reality when making a product of this nature especially at the early stages.
