Bertha Coombs (00:00):
How do you work with doctors to make sure that you’re getting all of this data, but it’s manageable for them. And they’re not just getting a lot more work that’s just going to burn them out even more. Why?
Glen Tullman (00:12):
I think, I think again, it’s a big challenge and we’ve not done right by our physicians. And so many of them are so dedicated. So we see a future where we’ll be able to say that one, we’re going to keep them safe. No doctor wants a patient walking through the door and saying, I have coronavirus. That’s not safe for our doctors. We learned about that. So one to the extent that they can more efficiently deal with, with patients, with people who they see, one, we want to do that, we want to enable that too. We don’t want to give them more data. We want to give them better information, right? While I’m talking to you, if I can see the right information personalized to you on the screen, rather than sorting through an electronic health record or even paper-based files,
Bertha Coombs (01:00):
Basically give them the signal in the noise.
Glen Tullman (01:03):
Exactly. And that’s this whole idea of applied health signals. Perfect. Thank you. That’s what we want to do and use some data science to say, oh, and by the way, uh, remind Bertha about this and remind her about what’s upcoming and here’s her medications that will also be listed on the screen. It doesn’t look like she’s taking this. So all that will be on the screen and will make their lives easier so they can focus on the right people and with the right information, and that’s the goal.
