[chuckles] Um, and those goals overlap with the goals of remission, even if we're not using the term remission, which for a lot of patients, you know, doesn't, doesn't resonate quite yet.
24:17
yet.Yeah. That is true.
24:20
I've been surprised, though, how many patients are a- embracing remission in other conditions and using that term with me.
24:28
For example, diabetes care, they'll say, "I'm in remission." So it's a little easier, of course, to define since it's based on a singular test, but, uh, I'm hoping that we'll all start using it certainly more often.
24:43
So what we are really trying to do is move from this stepwise treatment approach to what we call predict and prevent.
24:51
And so what that means is we are predicting future harm, and we're preventing damage.
24:56
And right now, um, we kind of treat all our asthma patients similarly.

Um, you know, keep an eye on that lung function, make sure the decline is not, is not heading, uh, faster than we'd like, or maybe it's going up with the biologics, right? [chuckles] Um.
24:10
And those goals overlap with the goals of remission, even if we're not using the term remission, which for a lot of patients, you know, doesn't resonate quite yet.
