Hi, everyone. Welcome to the A6 and Z podcast. I'm Sonal and I'm here today with our

general partner for our bio friend, BJ Ponday, and we have a special guest joining us. We're just

really talking a lot about machine learning and bio and all the trends in computer science meets bio

right now, which is fun. I'm excited. And joining us today, we have Jeff Kaititz, who is

the co-founder of a company called Q. The website is Q.Bio. They're building tech that measures,

digitizes, and simulates human physiology. So first of all, how the heck do you guys do that?

And why does that even matter? Well, I think we live in an era where the amount of information we actually

collect about our physiology is like exceedingly small. Like if you think about what the annual

physical consists of, and actually if you ask most physicians and most research, there is actually

no real correlation between outcomes and consistently doing annual

physicals. But at the same time, look at something like dental care, which whether you're sick

or not, your mouth is sick or not, twice a year, you go and they measure a set of semi-quantitative

standardized metrics. And as a result, we have these longitudinal profiles on hundreds of

millions of Americans.

Nobody goes to dentists twice a year for the record.

Is that really true?

I don't think so.

Do you go to tennis twice a year?
