That was me, and I think we are seeing it now.

So the gift of time will be given to us through technology.

Now, I'll walk through a few examples.

One is that we can capture the conversation with the AI ambient natural language processing, and we can make a better note than's ever been made by doctors from that whole conversation.

And now we're seeing some really good products that do that.

But they don't just capture the note with audio links for the patient so in case there was any confusion or something forgotten during the discussion.

But also, they do all these things to get rid of data clerk work so that when the two get together, they really are getting together.

And I think we can, even with the physician shortage that we have today,

we can leverage this technology to make it much more efficient, but also much more human-to-human bonding.

Well, yeah, no, I have been worried about that.

That's exactly what could happen.

AI could be making more efficient and productive.

So, oh, yeah, see more patients, read more scans and slides and whatnot.

So no, we have to stand up for patience and for this relationship.

And this is our best shot.

to get us back to where we were or even exceed that.

Yeah, so step number one is to acknowledge that there's deep-seated bias.

It's a mirror of our culture and society.

However, we've seen so many great examples around the world where AI is being used

in the hinterlands and people, low socioeconomic, low access to give access and help promote better health outcomes, whether it be in Kenya for Panda Health or for diabetic retinopathy and people that never had that ability to be screened, a mental health in the UK for underrepresented minorities.
