FLEXIBLE FABRIC. IT'S MASS
PRODUCED AND THEN OUR FIRST
PRODUCT CALLED
SIREN SOCKS CAN THEIR SENSORS
EMBEDDED INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE
FOG AND THE DATA IS SENT TO
PROVIDERS AND DOCTORS.
RIGHT AND THE SCIENTISTS BASED
ON TEMPERATURE MONITORING SO BY
MEASURING THE BOTTOM OF
PATIENTS FEE. TEMPERATURE MIND
RINGS PREVENT REDUCED, I THINK
THAT ALSO HAS BEEN UP TO 87.5%.
THIS IS A PREVIOUS DEVICE.
FROM A DIFFERENT COMPANY AND
WHAT WE'VE DONE IS JUST TAKING
THAT TO THE SCIENCE AND PUT IT
INTO AN OBJECT THAT PATIENTS
CAN EASILY WHERE HOME. THIS IS
CALLED THE SIDE WE SAW.

EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE AND NOT
TO SAY IS I THINK YEAH THEY
LOOKED AT AND AGAIN INCREDIBLE

THE IDEA AFTER WRITING DOWN
COMMON MEDICAL PROBLEMS THAT
YOUR PARENTS HAD COME ACROSS
BECAUSE THEY'RE
BOTH POSITIONS WHY WAS SIREN
IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR YOU TO
TAKE ON THIS ENDEAVOR.

QUESTION. SO AS YOU MENTIONED
