Those are the ones that it's like the body's reacting, even if the brain doesn't say anything about it.

And, but today we can do that with it.

I mean, do it.

Well, we can do it right now with, you know,

open source software on our laptops or our mobile devices, right?

And every pair of smart glasses will be tracking this information when we wear them.

So it becomes a channel of data.

And, you know, it may be an ambiguous signature in the sense that there's, you know, changes in lighting, there's changes, am I aroused or am I...

Yeah, no, and it's a lot of the consumer devices and just computation we can do from, you know, whether it's cameras or exhalant or, you know, other data in our environments that tell us about our physical state and some of these situations that you're talking about, a lot of the, I mean, why isn't it happening?

A lot of the reasons are simply the regulatory process is antiquated and not up to keeping up with the acceleration of innovation that's happening, you know, getting things through the FDA and,

even if they're deemed, you know,

in the same ballpark and supposed to move fast, the regulatory costs and processes is really high.

And you end up many years down the road from when the capability and the data and technology actually should have arisen to be used in a hospital or to be used in a place where you actually have that kind of appreciation for the data and use.

The consumer-grade technology

devices for tracking of data of our biological processes are on par and in many cases surpassed the medical grade devices.

And that's because they just have, but then they will have to bill what they do and what they're tracking in some way that is consumer, you know, is not making the medical claims to allow them to be able to be

continue to move forward in those spaces.

But there's no question that that's a big part of what holds back the availability of a lot of these devices and capabilities.

I'm an advocate for fewer things on, you know, not having all this stuff on our bodies.

There's so much we can get out of the computer vision side, you know, from, you know, the cameras in our spaces and how they're supporting us in our rooms, in our, the sensors on our, in our, you know, I brought up HVAC systems earlier.
