Awesome, truly love to hear that. 🥰

Question out of curiosity, even though that isn't exactly what you're working on: Do you think the technology could eventually also be used to detect what might be referred to as "latent cancer cells", that can't be destroyed by the body but also didn't grow into tumors yet due to the body fighting it?

Asking because that's what happened to me years ago. Had high inflammatory markers for over 1.5 years with no doctors being able to tell what the heck was going on. Then one day an angry Lymphoma appeared that required 4 aggressive chemo cycles and 14 day radio to get rid off, even though it was stage 1. If AI tech could be able to detect those "latent cancer cells" (or some biomarkers caused by them) before tumors appear… that would be phenomenally awesome.

Honestly have no idea, I'm on the programming side, so don't really have much medical knowledge, but if I remember ill ask someone when I'm in the office on Wednesday.
