So I'm really excited about the potential for the AI as like an adjunct coach and care team manager to continue to proceed along with that member with medical support behind that when necessary.
We are producing oil tankers of data around personal experience and not actually turning that into positive energy for what patients can do.
But I do want to be optimistic on this point because I actually think
and I shared this with you when we last saw each other, your thinking was ahead of the time, but foundational for people like me to say, we need to go actually make that real.
And let me explain to you what I mean by making it real.
Um, we need to bring together that the insight that you have an arrhythmia or that's probably a bad example, or that you have an elevated heart rate or that your step count is down, uh, or that your sleep schedule is off.
We need to bring that together with the, the possibility of connecting with a medical professional, which these devices do not have the ability to do that today.
And nor do those companies really want to get in that business.
And also make that context aware of what you can afford as a patient.
So we have data that's suggestive of an underlying issue.
We have a medical team that's prepared to actually help you on that issue.
And then we have financial security to know that whatever is identified actually will be paid for.
And now that's not a hard triangle conceptually, but no one of those companies is actually interested in all the points of the triangle.
And you have to be because otherwise it's not going to work for the patient.
You know, if my business is in selling devices, really all I'm thinking about is how do I sell devices and subscriptions?
If my business is exclusively in providing care, that's really all I'm thinking about.
If my business is in managing risk and writing insurance policies, that's really all I'm thinking about.
You have to do all those three things in concert.
We will.
And I want to say thanks for the conversation, too, and for your thinking on these topics.
