not just competing with some of these businesses as full-stack providers, et cetera, but actually connecting with them, right? So you're seeing how do you, for example, use data to connect the dots between a really expensive drug that maybe cost a million or $2 million to administer that, to authorize it, et cetera. You're helping the med device industry with hospitals.

These contracts tend to be really complicated. And how do you sort of partner with that? Same thing if you have risk attached to it. So I think that's another very interesting trend where people are finally dissolving some of these silos. And the third piece, I think, that is very interesting to me is, is on, um, the, um, consumer piece itself. Like, so how do you sort of accelerate this?

And the other part of this that is so exciting to me is obviously we're talking about this from a us context, but. I think global context is also quite interesting where, you know, markets like India and others where you might have, you know, 70% of self-pay.

So you might have somebody, you know, with a very different regulatory regime, but willing to experiment, you know, using WhatsApp as an interface for an AI application or in markets like the UK and Canada, which have really tough times with access coming up with, you know, uh, new technologies there.

And so I do think this is like an era where if you're an entrepreneur, you should not just be thinking about the U S you can actually think about global markets, which is just a, it's just a fascinating time. So those are some of the, the, some of the trends that we're seeing.

And I think the final point I'll make on this is that I think forever, we were restricted by the percentage of spend on the it budget is a technology spend. Okay. So I've got a solution for you on, um,

you know, whatever, XYZ topic, and you're going to compare that against, well, maybe I have, you know, the famous thing is it's on Epic's roadmap, or maybe it's, you know, I have a tool that I already have already partnered with a giant company like Microsoft, and I don't want to pay for extra things. But nowadays, Scott, what's so interesting and exciting is,

But nowadays, Scott, what's so interesting and exciting is,
is that you're truly competing with like, you know, gosh, I don't have headcount for this, but instead I could use an AI application for that. So I think what's really interesting is thinking about, you know, 70% of the health system cost, for example, is on labor. And how do you think about augmenting my staff?

How do you think about automating areas where I don't even have headcount for because I'm doing a, you know, I'm in a financially... Gruden era, and I don't have the ability to go hire a thousand more people. That is very, very new. Instead of hiring a million more people in XYZ categories, I can actually augment my current staff with software.

And I think to me, fundamentally, I think what's exciting is Not just like obviously the financial implications and budgets and all that, but honestly, like we can flip what I look at as a very burnt out, both administrative and clinical workforce to being a much more energized folks as we're getting older, by the way, and as health care costs are rocketing, skyrocketing.
