Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – I think we all have the passion in terms of trying to say, you know, healthcare has got to be done differently. We keep having this public policy debate and all these other things. There’s some reality to that. But what we saw the real passion around was, as I mentioned earlier, flipping healthcare on its head. Instead of saying, why do we have to have people take care of people as patients, and disempower them, when what we can do is use this technology to empower people to actually self-manage their own condition. I mean, that’s what you see people wanting to do.

20:00 – So we think we are unique in that AI space. Absolutely. I won’t be as bold as saying we’re the only one because I’m sure there’s some other app out there. I’ve never heard of. Yeah, but in terms of the people that we’re talking to employers with and and the competitors are out there trying to do the same thing. We think we’re very unique and having meetup as your light AI coach.
