How do you do that? Who does the education? How are you ensuring that that contract is understood and then reminded?

Yes.

I think it's, it's usually me.

[laughs] I usually do it in the office, and I think the first thing that I am trying to make sure that they understand is even, like, what that data is going to be used for, right? I think that people are very mistrusting right now.

There's a lot of, you know, AI that's happening.

It's going very quickly, and people are very scared about how their data is being used.

So I think the w- the first thing that I do is when I'm speaking to them in the office and we're talking about potentially having them train, usually it's their Apple Watch, right, but even some of their other wearables, what are we going to be doing with that data, right? How am I going to be using that data as well? Most of the time I'm using it to get a better sense of what their health looks like outside the clinic since I'm seeing them for 20, 30 minutes, right? And most of the time it's every six months, sometimes every year.

However, tell us about the future a little bit, because right now there are people who are, and I'm not saying we should do this, in fact, I'm saying don't do this, but there are people who will use things that are supposed to be used for prevention or a screening diagnostic and say, "Well, I already know I have the disease, but let me just see if it helps me out." Do you see the trials coming? Do you think people are gonna use more kind of wearable oriented, facile mechanisms where they can follow their life but also follow their disease at the same time? Do you think that's coming?
