And in the end, we're trying to correlate β
Basically, people's activities, people's biochemistry and physiology with their activities and heart rate and things like that.
And so we found literally thousands of correlations.
It's pretty cool.
A lot of which is known, right?
After your...
Insulin goes up after your glucose, but we can precisely measure.
For me, it's 10 minutes.
We know exactly the magnitude with certain kinds of food and that sort of thing.
We also discovered, and I don't know if this will go anywhere, but we're pursuing it, alpha-synuclein, which is involved in Parkinson's and dementia, actually showed an interesting pattern.
It seemed to fluctuate with stress, actually.
Yeah, well, that's what we're trying to figure out, what kinds of stress.
So I don't think we have that sorted out yet.
Yeah, so anyway, I'll leave it at that because we don't have it all sorted.
So that's the thing.
We're trying to measure that, see exactly what it correlates with, and then β
Maybe that's a useful assay for trying to manage that and therefore push off dementia.
That's the hypothesis.
No guarantee that's right.
But these are the kinds of observations we make that I'd like to see if they turn into real-world value that we could then help maybe get out there to help people in some fashion or other.
