So that's one part of the story.
Another is that the way we practice in medicine is getting so much more efficient by just having our conversations made into synthetic notes that are far better than the notes that are in our...
This is freeing up two, three, four hours a day for clinicians, and it just keeps getting better.
And it's not just a note.
That whole AI product is being used to order the tests and do the coding and for future appointments, prescriptions, preauthorizations.
I mean, all the things that occupy physicians.
Exactly.
So that restoration of the patient-doctor relationship is starting to really take hold, which is great.
And of course, what I think is the biggest, most exciting frontier is using AI to extend our health span.
And this is something I think that up until now, we didn't realize how we have this truly remarkable opportunity.
And that's why I put so much work into this for agers thing, just because we're going to do this.
Yeah, I'm so glad you mentioned that.
And actually, you articulated it quite well.
The story here is that there was the largest ever randomized trial of AI in medicine.
It was done in Sweden with over 100,000 women.
And the women who got randomly assigned with the mammogram to have AI plus the radiologist had 25% more cancers diagnosed.
And this should be part of every woman's mammogram assessment now in this country.
And of course, it isn't.
And we're far from that.
And then the other thing that you touched on is that from a normal mammogram,
