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,

the AI can figure out the risk very accurately over the next five years.

And in fact, a company just got FDA approval for that last week here.

This is all part of that ability to predict our liabilities of our health, major, whether it's cancer,

heart disease, neurodegenerative disease, AI is having a big effect.

So the mammogram is just one example, but the retina is one of the most extraordinary ones because from the retina in people who are healthy, you can determine if they have risks for heart disease,

for a stroke, for liver disease, kidney disease, for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's five years before they have any symptoms.

The retina, we can't see these things, but AI can.

And that's what's so extraordinary.

So the retina isn't commercially available yet, but the multiplicity of exceptional research reports have shown that it's the case with all medical images, as we were talking about with the mammogram, but the retina is just rich.

We thought it was a gateway just perhaps to the brain, but it's to almost every organ in the body.
