And then they get to the room with you and you've literally got 15 minutes to solve all their metabolic health issues. It's unrealistic. So the way we do it at Virta is we've got this continuous remote platform where patients are able to log their biomarkers. So their glucose, their weight, their ketones, their blood pressure.
And so there's this ability, our algorithm will generate what we call an attention score, which gets the right signal to noise. So that sweet spot of where the clinician is. can actually swoop in and take care of the patients who need help.

So i.e., if they're doing badly and we need to intervene more on nutrition or meds, or if they're actually really moving in the right direction because they're doing the things you're helping them, coaching them towards, you can reinforce that virtuous cycle by deprescribing medications and move it forward. And the third piece I just want to add, because I don't think it's just

pharmacology and technology, there's a strong component of the human touch. So we have a patient-centric way of giving care. We have a team of coaches and a team of clinicians. And these people are so passionate about metabolic health. And I will say like when my patients start at Virta, especially early on when they're making nutritional changes,

They will interact with their coaches multiple times in a day. And often their clinicians, their metabolic clinicians, probably daily because we're deprescribing medications, answering questions, keeping them safe. So it's a very white glove, high touch experience for our patients. So I think those are the three things that really drives the results we have.

And just to make it really real, like today's Monday, so I did a bunch of lab reviews that came in over the weekend, which I never thought I would say this, but my lab reviews are actually kind of very joyous at Virta. This morning, I'll just say, Mr. W, he's a gentleman from Mississippi. He's been with us for 900 days. His weight is down 80 pounds. He came to us with an A1C at nine. It's now 5.2.

He's off three medications, diabetes medications, one including insulin. His sleep apnea is resolved. He's off his CPAP. He's only on one antihypertensive medication. And he's just so much healthier and so happy. I'll just give you one other patient. It's another gentleman from Texas. He's South Asian, 45. He's only been with us for 160 days. He's dropped 17 pounds.

And his A1C has gone from 8.8 to 7.5. And he's only on one metformin now. Like, this is incredible. And this is not unusual.
