    President and Chief Revenue Officer Jonathan Harris stated that the consumer environment remains strong, driven by recent FDA and CE clearances. Regarding BabySat, he noted that new DME partnerships are expanding insurance access and the company is building direct relationships with hospitals. On the topic of manufacturing, CFO Amanda Twede Crawford explained that while cameras are made in China, the primary Sock and Duo products are made in Thailand, and the company is exploring options like moving camera manufacturing to Vietnam to mitigate tariff risks. CEO Kurt Workman and Jonathan Harris added that the Sock and Duo's classification as medical devices has historically excluded them from tariffs.
