Can you say something about your company?
6:42
Yes, I'm Emma, I'm the CEO of DexCrete, and we are developing a wearable for monitoring kidney function non-invasively, because worldwide one in seven people are suffering from kidney disease, yet it's less known than diabetes with the same prevalence.

And what they do is they measure creatinine trends to monitor these people.

But the way that this happens has not changed over the past 50 years.

And we aim to make it more accessible for more frequent testing for better patient outcomes.

So not just for kidney patients, but eventually also other diseases?

On the far horizon, indeed, that can be a possibility.

So we are fully focusing on kidney function measurements now.

Yep.

They saw me play for ACT there, and they, I got reached out to by the coach of the Rush and they said, "Hey, if you don't make the Sirens this year, we'd be interested in you coming to play for us as a fly-in fly-out goalie.
23:36
We, we need a goalie for next year, so if that's something that you'd be interested in." Um, yeah, they, they were very clear they didn't wanna poach me.

I wasn't gonna say that.
34:03
[laughs] But, um, so with my size, it's definitely, definitely, I don't know if more difficult would be the thing, but people question it a lot more.
34:14
But if you're following the procedures, if you're doing it the way that you're supposed to, where you're meant to go in, you're not meant to manhandle people, you're not meant to grab them by the jersey and pull them out.
34:24
You're meant to go in and, and just stop them, pretty much stop them from being able to, like, hit each other.
