Yeah, for sure.

So the technology came out of UC San Diego, which is where I did a PhD in biomedical engineering.

I met my co-founder Josh there, and we did see that diabetes was one of these markets, one of these industries that had just been transformed by technology.

But if you kind of looked at the way sensing was being done up until this point in time, the actual mechanism of sensing hadn't changed much.

The electronics were changing, the wearables were changing, but the actual way of getting that information hadn't changed.

And we saw that glucose was a very valuable marker, but we also saw that there was probably dozens of other markers that could be very interesting to measure.

So that's really what got us going on this pathway was

glucose is incredibly valuable for people with diabetes, but how can we expand that to other markers?

And then also, how can we make it easier for people with diabetes and without diabetes to get access to their metabolic information?

And so that's really what got us started on this journey.

There you go.

One thing I'll add, our metabolism is incredibly complicated.

Getting this contextual information is incredibly insightful.

I think one of the big takeaways that many people have realized is that it doesn't take this intense amount of exercise if your glucose is high to get it to come back down.

Like Rich was saying, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and your glucose can come back down into range.

It's kind of that combination of moving your body and what you eat that's really important.

And I mean, for example, right, you know, we're here in New York.

Every time I come to New York, I got to get a New York bagel.

I don't usually eat bagels, right?

Yeah, if I'm wearing a sensor, I don't want to eat a bagel.
