00:00There are drugs that are being created today that are less effective because we are not included in
00:05clinical research. And so like many founders, we started our company with our personal wise. And
00:10so for me, my son was diagnosed with asthma and he was prescribed albuterol. I had no idea that
00:15albuterol was 47% less effective in African-Americans and 67% less effective in Puerto
00:21Ricans. That's a problem. And so we go into communities and through our now included platform,
00:26build trust with people, allow them a platform to share their story because we know through sharing
00:31those lived experiences, we're able to make change on the backend. And we match people with
00:36clinical trial opportunities that are available around them in their local communities because
00:40it's funny, but still five years into this game, we go into a new community and we ask people,
00:45are you being offered an opportunity? And they're still saying no. And pharmaceutical companies are
00:49paying for that support because we do have people who believe in health equity overall and believe
00:54you have to go into communities early and often if you want to see that sustainable change.
