In California there are so many prescribers yet so few prescriptions.... I do like that PWD can find a prescriber easily on the website. Per Mike, there are over 3,000 doctors who wrote one or more prescriptions. With our cumulative prescription at around 30,000 (per Symphony). On average, each prescriber wrote about 10 prescriptions. Excluding some top prescribers, most of the prescribers on average probably have wrote 5 or less prescriptions.

On the Front Page it says first fast-acting and the rapid-acting. If tgey are allowed to use rapid-acting, why do they introduce it as fast-acting?

Mobile site (at least on iPhone) doesn't seem to be working, asks for Authentication info. It works on my iPhone.

Yep, works! They need to redirect the afrezza.com to www.afrezza.comThanks. I tried afrezza.com and was immediately redirected to www.afrezza.com. Using Chrome on Windows 10.

Could be as simple as one or more people who live in MD and work in DC (or who now live in DC but formerly lived in MD and still go to a doc there). I once lived in Silver Spring, MD and worked in DC (and later moved to DC).

I think the website looks great. easy to use. However I would suggest that instead of putting in just the state you have other options like zip code or city. Someone shouldn't have to scroll through all the cities in a State to find a physician close to you. just my 2 cents.

I like it a lot as well... Couple of suggestions on my end as follows:
1. Doctors' list should be by each state in alphabetical order not by doctors last name. Then can see under each state what docs prescribe by last name in alpha order Say's manmade insulin but should also say only human insulin (and only monomeric) with less additives, eg: Zinc
Was just a glance so this was it for me. But I like much better than Sanofi...

The monomer aspect relates to how quickly Afrezza works (INsulin) but perhaps they don't want to distract from the OUTsulin component which, it appears, may be the cornerstone of their marketing campaign. Also, the FDA may be restricting what MannKind can (and cannot) say in marketing Afrezza.
When it's ready, I'm hoping the Afrezza HCP site will eventually have a link to the great video, "Technosphere Technology: The Future of Pulmonary Drug Delivery" at the MannKind corporate website that demonstrates how Technosphere works. It's especially important, I think, that physicians understand how TS-insulin safely disassembles with virtually no residue left in the lungs.
Link to Technosphere video: www.mannkindcorp.com/Collateral/Flash/English-US/Animations/technosphere_animation.html
Technosphere was also approved by the FDA in addition to the API (insulin human), so I don't think the FDA could object to making the video available to physicians, along with study data related to residue figures.
---
Actually, MannKind has already put a similar video on the Afrezza HCP site. It's quite good if you can endure the first 20 seconds, in which the viewer is supposed to read "Indications and Usages for Afrezza" information before the Afrezza video begins, which contains footage on the delivery system: hcp.afrezza.com/how-afrezza-works/

It's about time we see something remotely professional promoting the brand! My two cents on the design of the site. Scale the afrezza logo 15/20% larger and align the logo to the rest of the menu bar on the right. The colored icon buttons don't work for me, the line drawings/icons are fine it's the physical buttons that seems out of place and perhaps rushed... Last, swap out meet afrezza icon with a line drawing of.... The inhaler?
All in all excited, we're light years away from the sin-ofi site with the HUGE warning label front and center.. That shocked my senses.
Thanks MIke, keep up the good work!

I think this is just the beginning of what we're going to see. Hopefully September will be fun.

I have a few inputs after i checked out the new Afrezza website:
1. First page a little too busy. The four buttons should be shown up on the first screen without need to scroll the page down. The best way is just to keep the four buttons plus a simple slogan for first screen. Fix the four buttons on top of each screen. 2. The font size/font for "Find a doctor/select a state" should be larger and more eye catching. 3. Safety related information takes too much space of the first screen space. If it is mandatory, then it is ok.

I like the new website but had some impressions I wanted to share - see if anyone agrees or not: 'Safety Considerations is menacing/and is kind of creepy. Would be MUCH nicer if the made it one-line 'Safety Considerations' and click will expand it? This 'Safety Considerations' and the menu take up WAY too much screen - I never got IMHO the wording on www.afrezza.com/afrezza-mealtime/ is a really tough read and does a poor job selling Afrezza. IMHO it should be more lay-friendly and conveyed in <= 3 sentences Non-diabetics Pancreas insulin responds fast Conventional Rx slow linger, with side effects Afrezza compliments pancreatic response with 'natural insulin Of course this can be expound on this later but you have 10s to capture a reader!! Lastly, I think the inhaled part should be played down and emphasis on real-world performance Battery's about to die, may chime in later! GO MNKD!

It's scary to think the company might be running the show by gaining advice from a msg. board... [gulp] I hope this isn't the case, seems too coincidental with a lot of what's mentioned on this board.
