Omar FordHOST
And, you know, it was creating the category before it was chic to talk about wearables.

Quentin BlackfordGUEST
Look, I think the early founders of iRhythm saw this opportunity just to improve upon what the standard of care was in the marketplace, to be honest with you.

Quentin BlackfordGUEST
I mean, literally, you put a patch on, we like to say you stick it and forget it, but patient puts it on, they wear it for 14 days, and we're capturing just a tremendous amount of insights over the duration of that wear period.

Quentin BlackfordGUEST
But again, what continues to set us apart and why I think we're unique to the sort of generality of what a wearable is, is that we are at a different level of capability.

Quentin BlackfordGUEST
We are a true medical grade diagnostic tool that's been approved by the FDA for diagnosis where all these other wearables are not.

Omar FordHOST
Can you talk about the reasoning behind the deal and how it will help enhance iRhythm and also Zio?
