1:01:30go through the FDA process and get approval here and fit into the toolbox of medical imaging. It would be the first new medical imaging device. I believe it's in like over 50 years plus. That's really, you know, it has to gain adoption and get buy in. But I think there's some interesting >> concept that it that is that is really cool >> in the fundamentals of of what they're doing here. >> Yeah. Yeah, definitely. I mean the only ultrasound that I've ever really experienced is like you know for like pregnancies and things like that, right? So so but obviously yeah doing doing soft tissue probing is going to be huge. The one one the one thing that I'm like

1:02:11kind of skeptical about I would say is the billion full body scans per month. There's only 7 billion people on the earth. So like what I guess I guess a single person could have multiple full body scans cuz this is as you said real time thing >> and they're trying to make it a lifestyle spa concept like >> but then they got to make it cheap >> which I agree with you. No, which I >> like a billion a month is like that that already you're um you're you now have to you're saturating the developed world. >> You know what I mean? Now you got to tap into like a lot a lot of countries that don't have the kind of capital for the

1:02:51healthcare that we do here in the states. >> I don't know if we want up and things like that. >> We don't need a spa like this in in Zimbabwe for example. I don't think that's the right entry point. So, so a billion full body scans per month. What? So, a single person is doing multiple per >> month. Yeah. >> And then also it's like, well, if one scan is really good, why do I need to be doing multiple? >> Exactly. Like, how much is my body really changing month per month? >> Um, anyways, that that's the only number that I'm like kind of skeptical about. Um, 50,000 scanners worldwide, that makes sense. It's not that bad. There's a lot of cities in the world that are rel that have a relatively wellto-do enough population to like want something

1:03:32like this in one of their hospitals. >> We could do a dozen to two dozen in LA alone. >> Exactly. So, um yeah. No, I I still think Yeah. the fact that it's a new medical imaging device. I think that's what the interesting thing is is just at least we're we're pushing you know again >> there's both this balance between what's tried and true >> and then also integrating like crisper right as an example it's a new medical technology in a totally different context and we're now trying to figure out how do we make this safe how do we scale it and I think it is good to push the envelope >> the the weird part about this story is at least in part the source which is coming from a non-traditional Yeah.

1:04:14Yeah. Yeah. In the in the medical imaging space which has created a lot of skepticism. >> Uh but again the proof's in the pudding.
