Eustace doesn't get a letter.

Radiolab
The Medical Matchmaking Machine

It's not Matrix to you.

Radiolab
The Medical Matchmaking Machine

It's just Matrix.

Radiolab
The Medical Matchmaking Machine

Okay, because you're a fan of the movie or something?

Radiolab
The Medical Matchmaking Machine

It actually is a matrix in that it's 4,000 drugs, it's 18,000 diseases.

Radiolab
The Medical Matchmaking Machine

So we're building actually a matrix of drugs versus diseases and a fan of the movie.

Radiolab
The Medical Matchmaking Machine

Yeah, so we're still working on some of these things.

Radiolab
The Medical Matchmaking Machine

We're actually literally talking about prototypes and processes, but I can tell you that there'll be the ability to type in the name of your disease or maybe the drug that you care about, probably more likely the disease that you care about, because most people care about diseases as opposed to drugs, but then actually it'll look at a rank order list for that disease.

Radiolab

Radiolab
The Medical Matchmaking Machine

But we're not building a tool that is, yeah, is going to be that sort of treatment copilot, though.

Radiolab
The Medical Matchmaking Machine

I would love for someone else to do it.

Radiolab
The Medical Matchmaking Machine

Yeah, and these are in the same list that we're getting on our medical team and our research and development team.

Radiolab
The Medical Matchmaking Machine

We're giving you the same results and same scores that we're getting because we feel this obligation or this responsibility that if we're going to put our eyes on them, the world should be able to put their eyes on them.

Radiolab

Here are the tools that we use.
