And I'm not trying to put everybody down, but what I'm trying in my own way to do is to lift the standards up, getting people using measurement, find out how are your patients feeling right now at the start and end of your session so you can see instantly if you're being effective and how do they rate you on warmth and empathy and helpfulness and things of that nature. Yeah, absolutely.

Coincidentally, that's when our press release is coming out, and we're going to have an article in this article journal called Technical Crunch. It was supposed to be a real top-level thing, if you can get in it, when you have an app or something technical to announce. So apparently they accepted our press release, so we'll be interviewed for that.

And what that means is a drop in those scores on the depression test, the anxiety test, the anger test, the relationship conflict improvement, and things like that. And we're seeing some pretty spectacular results in people who use the app.
