You're listening to the Hidden Lightness on America Out Loud Talk Radio.
0:12
I'm your host, Jimmy Hinton.
0:14
Are you ready for more good news?
0:17
Well, here it is.
0:19
Hot off the press.
0:22
There are AI t-shirts that have been created that could detect hidden heart risks.
0:28
This is absolutely fascinating.
0:31
And this is what I'm talking about, folks.
0:33
I love when people take artificial intelligence and they use it for good.
0:41
We know that people use technology for good and bad.
0:45
We know that people are using artificial intelligence for evil.
0:52
There's definitely a trend.
0:59
And creating CSAM, child sex abuse material using innocent children.
1:07
That has increased dramatically since artificial intelligence has been taken off.
1:13
And I pray that we have laws that continue to keep up with that.
1:18
And that the scumbags who create that kind of garbage spend a long, long time in prison.
1:25
There's absolutely zero tolerance for it.
1:29
And uh neither should there be.
1:51
On May 22nd, it'll be 11 years since my brother, my oldest brother Mike passed away.
1:57
And this tragedy hits many, many, many, many families every single year.
2:06
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in America, has been for a very long time.
2:14
And quite frankly, our technology for detecting it has not been that great.
2:30
We went in for uh different kind of tests.
2:34
We we got blood work, uh, we got a calcium CT, the calcium CT scan of the heart.
2:41
And all of these things are time consuming, and quite honestly, they they don't detect a whole lot.
2:51
And it's it's a small snapshot of your heart at a given time and moment, and it doesn't really tell you what the underlying risks could be that are just lurking beneath the surface.
3:05
And that was the problem with my brother.
3:07
I remember I remember my brother when uh when he was probably, I don't know, I'm gonna say probably just barely into college.
3:16
Uh I remember him wearing a heart monitor.
3:19
He had to wear one of those big clunky monitors, and he had all the all the uh the pads on his chest, and he had to wear that for I don't know, probably a couple of weeks, and it was because he was experiencing severe vertigo, and they were trying to figure out was this heart related, was it something else?
3:38
You know, what what was going on with the heart?
3:42
And I don't really remember because I was I was pretty young yet, but I I think I remember them just kind of chalking it up to not really much to see here.
3:55
You know, there's there's a couple um rhythm issues going on with the heart, but nothing that was that was alarming, nothing that really put him on the radar of of high risk.
4:08
And so it was one of those things, let's just monitor the vertigo, and and if it gets worse, we'll do something about it.
4:15
Well, fast forward to 2015.
4:21
My brother uh had been working out the night before with his 15-year-old son, my nephew, and he started to feel sick.
4:31
He thought it was just uh nausea, like maybe he uh ate something that was bad or or was catching a stomach virus, and he said, I'm I'm just gonna lay on the couch for a little bit, kind of try to sleep this off.
4:48
So he took a shower, and when he came out of the shower, he dropped to the floor and died instantly, right in front of my 15-year-old nephew.
5:03
Uh obviously very, very traumatic experience.
5:06
My sister-in-law was not home at the time.
5:09
Um, my nephew's younger brother and sister were both home at this home at the time of my brother's death.
5:17
And you can imagine how traumatizing that was for them and still is to this day.
5:24
Uh, it was heartbreaking.
5:26
It uh was very sad.
5:29
And extremely traumatic.
5:33
Extremely dramatic for my nephews, my niece, my sister-in-law, and there have been a lot of hard years ever since.
5:41
I'm just gonna be honest.
5:42
It's uh nobody wants to raise children in a single parent home.
5:50
It's it's tough.
5:53
Uh no kid ever expects to to suddenly lose a parent.
5:58
And yet it happens every single day here in America.
6:06
And I recently did a show on the the AEDs, and that there's a city in Texas who uh is making sure that there's an AED within four minutes of any cardiac event.
6:24
And it's revolutionizing their city.
6:27
It really is.
6:29
They've already saved dozens of lives, and no doubt they'll save many, many, many more.
6:37
And AEDs are an essential tool, essential.
6:43
And I I often think about this, you know.
6:46
If there was one that was within within reach of my brother, there's a much better chance that he'd be here with us today.
6:57
And so I'm all for, I'm a hundred percent for having these tools at our disposal.
7:04
They're not that expensive.
7:07
Uh AEDs are a few hundred dollars.
7:10
They're really not that expensive, and they do save lives.
7:14
They save lives all the time.
7:18
And if you've ever seen an AED used, they're automated, they're completely automated.
7:23
You just put the sticky pads on and you turn it on, and the thing is completely automated.
7:31
It has a uh a voice, a computer voice that talks to the people administering care, and it kind of talks you through what to do and uh whether a shock is needed or not, uh, whether you need to give breaths or not.
7:46
Uh it's it's very, very, very.
7:59
Uh that produced an AI t-shirt that can detect hidden risks.
8:07
It's washable, it's a smart shirt, and it's designed specifically to spot inherited heart rhythm disorders before a heart attack actually happens.
8:20
I'll read a little bit from this article.
8:22
This is a Fox News article that's um uh a business news article.
8:29
And it says your next heart test might not happen in a hospital.
8:33
It could start with something you pull from your dresser.
8:37
Researchers at Imperial College London are developing an artificial intelligence-powered t-shirt that monitors the heart for days at a time.
8:47
The mission is straightforward.
8:50
Detect inherited heart rhythm disorders that often remain hidden until it's too late.
8:57
These conditions can sit quietly for years, they strike without warning.
9:02
That unpredictability is what makes them so dangerous.
9:06
As I mentioned, my family is a case in point.
9:14
An inherited heart disease that nobody detected, no doctor had ever detected it.
9:22
Wearing a heart monitor didn't detect it.
9:26
Yeah, he spent years going to doctors and you know, routine visits, routine checkups, being physically fit, physically active.
9:35
He was lifting weights, he was uh he was not overweight physically.
9:41
He looked like he was in good physical condition, and by all measurements, uh he really was.
9:50
He ate decent, he exercised, he was lifting weights.
9:55
I don't I don't lift weights for crying out loud.
10:00
You know, I don't exercise nearly as often as as I should.
10:04
Certainly don't lift weights.
10:06
But my brother was religious about lifting weights.
10:11
He liked it.
10:12
He liked working out.
10:13
He liked looking and feeling physically fit.
10:17
And that's one of those cruel ironies about heart disease.
10:21
You can look very in shape.
10:25
You can look like you're fit.
10:28
But if you have an underlying heart disease and it goes undetected, it is a silent killer.
10:36
And it's absolutely tragic.
10:42
Here's an article from the American Heart Association.
10:46
This is a very, very recent report.
10:48
And the title of this is Heart Disease, Stroke Deaths Down, yet still kill more in the U.S.
10:56
than any other cause.
10:58
Heart disease and stroke remain at the top of the list of leading causes of death in the United States.
11:03
According to the American Heart Association's 2026 heart disease and stroke statistics update.
11:12
So here are some of the highlights according to the American Heart Association's 2026 heart disease and stroke statistics update.
11:19
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States.
11:23
And stroke has moved up to the number four spot.
11:27
Together, heart disease and stroke accounted for more than a quarter of all deaths in the U.S.
11:33
in 2023, the most recent year for which data is available.
11:38
Cardiovascular diseases, including all types of heart disease and stroke, claim more lives in the U.S.
11:45
each year than all forms of cancer and accidental deaths.
11:50
The number two and number three causes of death combined.
11:55
So that's alarming to me.
11:57
That's incredibly, incredibly alarming.
12:31
Far more.
12:33
Claims more lives in the U.S.
12:35
than all forms of cancer, all forms of cancer and accidental deaths.
12:41
Those are number two and number three combined.
12:44
That's frightening, folks.
12:48
The article goes on.
12:49
Following a five-year upward trend, likely impacted by the COVID pandemic, the number of heart disease and stroke deaths has declined yet.
12:59
Still kill more people in the U.S.
13:01
each year than any other cause.
13:04
According to data reported in 2026, heart disease and stroke statistics, a report of U.S.
13:12
and global data from the American Heart Association.
13:15
Together, heart disease, which is 22%, that accounts for 22% of U.S.
13:20
deaths, heart disease, and stroke, which account for 5.3% of U.S.
13:28
deaths.
13:29
They replace COVID as the fourth leading cause of death, which accounted for more than a quarter of all deaths in the U.S.
13:37
in 2023.
13:40
That's the latest year for which data is available.
13:46
The annual updated published statistics, which is a peer-reviewed flagship journal of the American Heart Association, uh gives very sobering statistics.
14:01
The overall deaths from heart disease and stroke continue to decline with fewer total deaths and modest improvements in the age-adjusted death rate.
14:13
The age-adjusted death rate is it's a way to compare death rates fairly by removing the effect of different age structures and populations.
14:24
So in 2023, there were 915, 973 total deaths from cardiovascular disease, just under a under a million.
14:38
I mean, that's unacceptable.
14:44
That's terrifying.
14:48
Especially for people like me and many, many of you who know that you have there's a uh genetic component here, one that is largely outside of our control.
15:06
I say largely, it's not completely outside of our control, but it's uh there is a genetic component that's very difficult to detect and very difficult for us to uh to to manage, especially if we don't know that there are uh signs there.
15:23
And so that's where I think these AI shirts really, really, really are promising.
15:28
I mean, incredibly promising.
15:32
I mean, these symptoms are basically non-existent, even when you're responsible.
15:39
And that's one of the things that one of my brothers uh talks about with all of the rest of us brothers.
15:45
He said, you know, I've done so much research, and I found that even if you're incredibly proactive, which he is, definitely a lot more than I am and some of my other brothers, but he said, even if you're incredibly proactive, we would be a naive to think that we're immune.
16:06
You know, just because we go to the doctor doesn't mean that they're gonna catch everything that uh, you know, all these underlying symptoms.
16:16
And he's absolutely right.
16:18
That's where this shirt comes in.
16:22
It can do what your doctor, even your heart specialist, can't do.
16:29
You know, uh, humans can't possibly outpace technology.
16:35
Not like this.
16:36
And this is very, very promising.
16:39
And uh, my goodness.
16:40
I'll I'll read a little bit more about uh what all this means, what it implies, how it works, things like that.
16:47
But I am absolutely infatuated with this.
16:49
And I, my goodness, um it makes me want to run and get one.
16:54
I'm gonna be honest.
16:56
It's incredible.
16:58
We're getting more and more tools out there to increase human life and the quality of life.

A new AI shirt, artificial intelligence.
19:20
It has 50 sensors on it, is being tested as we speak.
19:25
And this is uh not gonna replace cardiologists, but it is, however, gonna give them a very long clear view of how the heart behaves in daily life.
19:39
Uh, this is so promising to me, and we're looking at five years from now, possibly where this thing could actually hit the market.
19:48
Uh, it's got to go through a long period of of trials and peer reviewed trials, and uh that's underway right now, but it's still promising.
19:59
And
20:00
I I was looking at how fast technology is taken off.
20:04
Just over the break, I was looking back at some pictures just out of curiosity because in my photos app it it labels, you know, we we all have every picture that's taken has data stamped on it.
20:19
And I was kind of curious.
20:20
I was like, you know, my my brother died May 22nd, 2015.
20:26
And what was the technology like back then?
20:30
Because we kind of take it for granted, right?
20:33
We're so immersed in AI now that uh I was making fun of my wife yesterday, uh jokingly, her and my daughter.
20:42
They were talking about Googling things, and they're like, We're we're gonna Google that.
20:49
I was like, nobody uses Google anymore.
20:52
Like ask Gemini or ask chat GPT, you know, nobody googles things anymore.
21:03
Google is such a dinosaur.
21:06
And then we got into this uh big discussion about technology and how it's just it's just shifting so fast, and they were like, you know, my wife, she was she was making fun of me, and she's like, Well, I'm always gonna use Google.
21:20
I'm like, well, you think that, but it's it's not gonna be around for much longer.
21:24
I mean, it it is a dinosaur.
21:27
AI is integrated into everything, and uh that's just that's just the way it is.
21:35
You're gonna get a lot more detailed answers, you're gonna get answers that uh it's just um absolutely crazy what AI is gonna do for you and what it already can, and nobody's gonna sit there and and type in a Google search, you know.
21:56
So anyway, it's it's really fascinating to see how quickly technology is changing, and it really is.
22:05
Um AI is being used to to track fugitives like never before.
22:13
You know, it's kind of scary, but uh, you know, for those of us who like our freedoms, but my goodness, getting pretty hard to keep up with it, and um not a conspiracy theorist or anything like that, but it it is a little bit scary that AI is so stinking accurate, so fast, so smart, and it's integrated into everything, including cameras.
22:41
You look at the technology for uh I don't I don't know if you've seen this, but for how the Israelis were able to find Iran's supreme leader, they took him out on day one.
22:55
Day one, where they said that it had it had been years in the making, and Israel had actually hacked all of Iran's traffic cameras, security cameras, and they were using AI and it's facial recognition, and look at the accuracy.
23:19
Literally on day one, probably the first bomb that they dropped, they wiped out the Ayatollah, the supreme leader of Iran.
23:30
That's incredible.
23:32
You know, to have that kind of intel and that that kind of accuracy.
23:37
It's absolutely stunning.
23:40
And so that's kind of where we're headed.
23:42
But you know, anyway, over the break, I was I was looking back through pictures, and in 2015, I was still using a point and shoot.
23:50
Now I had started using a cell phone, but I'm looking at the uh at the pictures from 2015, and they're grainy, they don't look great, you know, they look okay, but the ones that were shot on a cell phone, uh, they're kind of grainy.
24:06
And then I have other pictures that says uploaded from an Android device.
24:13
In other words, uh, I apparently I had a phone, or I don't really remember.
24:18
I had a phone or some kind of other some kind of an Android device that I was uploading my photos onto the onto the desktop computer, and then into my photos app.
24:30
Yeah, that was 11 years ago.
24:33
Look at where we're at now.
24:38
Everybody has a cell phone.
24:40
The the quality is absolutely top-notch.
24:44
AI is integrated into your into your photo and video editing software.
24:50
You don't need an external microphone anymore because AI is integrated into fixing all the sound.
24:58
I mean, it's absolutely incredible.
25:00
Color correction, uh, your sound correction, all of that is integrated right into your phone into the palm of your hand.
25:10
And it's really interesting.
25:12
A lot of places that develop pictures, if you still actually do that, sometimes pictures taken on a cell phone get flagged, and the machinery thinks that it's a professional photographer, and anything that's shot by professional photographer if you want to get it printed, you have to have uh all the copyright information and stuff like that because they don't want people stealing work from professional photographers.
25:44
Well, I think professional photographers, I hate to say it, but my prediction is they're gonna be a dinosaur, they're gonna be one of the jobs that's pushed out by AI because the pictures now are so stinking good and so professional.
25:59
I mean, that's just in the last two years, not even.
26:05
So it's really incredible when you see it how quickly technology is advancing.
26:12
It's what we're talking about now, what we're talking about with these t-shirts and the monitoring.
26:17
Uh I think in five years we're gonna look back and be like, my goodness, was that a dinosaur?
26:22
Cool idea, great stepping stone, but boy, was that a dinosaur.
26:29
And that's where I get really excited because when it comes to diseases and it comes to being able to detect diseases, we've not done a stellar job, to be quite honest.
26:44
Cancer detection, we're still not doing a great job at cancer detection.
26:52
One of the ones that's definitely on the rise, I mean, a hundred percent on the rise is colon cancer, especially among young people, which if it's caught early, it's incredibly treatable, very curable.
27:10
But if caught late, it's one of the hardest cancers to get rid of.
27:17
And there are a lot of young people who are getting colon cancer and dying of colon cancer, and it's just one of those things where the screening is it's a terrible process.
27:28
It's uh nobody wants to hate to say it, hate to be crude, but nobody wants a colonoscopy.
27:37
You know, and and so the process to actually try to detect it is really cumbersome.
27:47
That's all changing.
27:50
Now, you know, I I didn't really look into this specifically, but I imagine with AI, you'll be able to do like a quick probably swab and and stool sample.
28:04
You probably don't even need the full stool, and and uh AI will be able to immediately detect any chance of cancer.
28:12
It's really incredible.
28:15
So it's getting better and better and better and better, and that's good for humanity.
28:21
It's not just good for the American people, that's good for humanity.
28:26
You know, there's so many silent killers, and I don't know about you, but uh, I've seen a lot of heartache in my life.
28:36
Seen a lot of young parents who leave kids, even kids who die of diseases that that should have been detectable, but we just didn't have the technology.
28:51
Yeah, it it's really really incredible to see how people are using artificial intelligence to be able to detect things super early.
29:01
Uh, I mentioned this before, I believe, uh probably a couple months ago.
29:07
I had a weird tongue thing going on, like a really weird, and I still uh like it affects my speech, and it's just it's one of those annoying things.
29:20
It's it's it's benign, it's completely benign.
29:26
But I have these like really scary markings on my tongue, and um I had no clue what it was.
29:34
And I I panicked, and it used to be you had to you had to like research and you know, do your Google search, and then uh Mayo Clinic would come up and it'd have like 15,000 different things that it could be, and you know, you had to weed through all that stuff, and you still were wrong 99% of the time.
29:53
Well, now I simply took a picture of my tongue, uploaded it.
30:01
Into my AI app.
30:03
And within seconds, it identified what the most likely thing was.
30:09
And it was right.
30:10
I went to the dentist and um I specifically asked them and wanted the doctor to check me out.
30:19
And right away he said, oh, that's classic case of geographic ton.
30:23
And uh that's no problem, perfectly benign.
30:27
Um might go away.
30:29
It might not.
30:30
But he's like, it's perfectly fine, nothing to worry about.
30:35
Like, okay, doctor, it's all I needed to hear.
30:39
So AI is not replacing doctors, but it is making life so much better for people.
30:48
And that's good news.
30:51
So the shirts are detecting things that heart tests miss all the time.
30:58
You know, an electrocardiogram misses things.
31:04
Like I said, it's only a snapshot, but that's where extended monitoring through the shirt, it changes everything.
31:12
It changes all of that.
31:15
Doctors can review days or even weeks of heart rhythm data.
31:19
Uh, they get context.
31:21
AI is able to detect things that uh humans can't detect just because it's so efficient.
31:28
It uh it'll be able to to find subtle irregularities.
31:34
Those become visible, patterns begin to emerge.
31:39
And uh this combination, according to this article, the project combines medical science with wearable design.
31:47
The shirt uses soft sportswear style fabric with up to 50 ECG style sensors woven into the material.
31:55
You can wear it under everyday clothing, you can sleep in it, you can wash it and put it back on.
32:01
And instead of collecting a quick reading, the shirt records continuous electrical signals from your heart.
32:10
Artificial intelligence then analyzes that data for patterns linked to inherited conditions, such as Brugata syndrome.
32:22
It has funding from the British Heart Foundation, and researchers are training the algorithm using ECG data from more than 1,000 individuals.
32:36
Uh, some of the participants live with inherented uh heart rhythm disorders.
32:43
Others don't.
32:46
And so that mix is really essential so that the system can distinguish between healthy variations and signals that suggest elevated risk.
32:57
This is key.
32:58
This is pivotal.
33:00
This is life changing.
33:02
This is game changing.
33:05
Yeah, I have a brother who uh he really stays on top of AI.
33:11
In fact, he was a programmer for AI for for some time.
33:17
And he said, you know, we're getting to the point where the life expectancy is gonna skyrocket.
33:24
And he didn't say that as a hypothetical thing.
33:27
I guess in the AI community, that's just kind of known fact.
33:31
I didn't know this.
33:33
Yeah, I have to admit, I was unaware of that.
33:38
So that was really interesting to me.
33:40
That was definitely groundbreaking for me.
33:42
And I was like, whoa, wait, what?
33:45
And my brother said, yeah, it's because AI is getting so efficient so quickly, and it's not only able to detect diseases, but it's going to be able to cure them.
33:57
It's it's figuring out through algorithms, it's figuring out what medicines work.
34:04
And instead of experimenting, and you know, doctors, if you ever notice doctors, a lot of the times are like, well, we'll try this and see if that works.
34:14
You know, it's it's a lot science and a lot art.
34:23
And when you have the human factor factored into that, uh, a lot of that is you know, the art aspect of, well, let's try, you know, let's I think of uh, you know, the mad scientists that they're like, let's try a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
34:40
Now I know it's a lot more complex than that, and they're not just guessing, but what artificial intelligence does is it it actually maximizes every single medication that reacts with every other medication known on planet earth, and it's figuring out formulas that the humans just can't do, at least not efficiently, not quickly.
35:04
And I think that's where it's really promising.
35:07
And uh so not only is AI being used for that, but it's being integrated into robotics.
35:14
And think of some of the surgeries.
35:16
Think of how many botched surgeries we have in any given year.
35:23
I want you to listen to some of these statistics.
35:25
For example, medical malpractice is very severe in the United States.
35:30
I mean, it's not just bad, it's it's really bad with preventable errors causing over 250,000 deaths annually, making it a leading cause of death.
35:45
That's frightening.
35:48
And that's what happens when you have the human factor.
35:53
And uh it's just it's a reality.
35:56
It is what it is.
35:58
I'm not making a judgment.
36:00
I'm not saying that these are due to bad doctors.
36:03
It's just unfortunately when you have the human factor, uh, things are gonna go wrong.
36:12
And it's very, very common.
36:16
17,000 to 20,000 lawsuits are filed every single year, and that represents only about one percent of actual errors.
36:26
So there is a significant under-litigation.
36:31
I mean, that's that that ought to frighten all of us.
36:35
Uh so this is gonna get better.
36:38
Integrating AI into robotics is that's gonna be a game changer for surgery.
36:43
Game changer.
36:46

39:20
Artificial intelligence is an absolute game changer in the medical field.
39:26
And this is here, folks.
39:27
It's here to stay.
39:29
And we can't put the genie back into the bottle.
39:32
I mean, it's it's been here.
39:34
It's uh AI is integrated into everything.
39:37
It's integrated into your email.
39:39
It's integrated into uh your web browser, it's literally everywhere into your phone, into your cameras uh on your phone, into your uh audio software.
39:51
Uh it's integrated into everything.
39:54
And you can't put the genie back in the bottle.
39:59
And
40:00
And we can bemoan that, we can complain about it, we can say how we're gonna we're gonna go Amish and uh not have anything to do with technology, but the genie is out of the bottle, and we can't put it back in.
40:13
And so the question is how are we going to use it?
40:18
Not we individually today.
40:21
I'm talking about how we as a society, how are we going to use it?
40:26
You know, there is an absolute race to see who can who can reach the top the quickest.
40:34
And that's not all a bad thing.
40:36
Yeah, I was talking right before the break about medical malpractice in the United States.
40:42
It's one of the leading causes of death, one of the very, very top leading causes of death.
40:48
250,000 deaths happen annually because of medical malpractice.
40:57
And that's things like wrong prescriptions, botched surgeries, uh, those sorts of things.
41:04
It's very common.
41:06
Very, very common.
41:09
You know, a quarter of a million people every single year, they die because of medical malpractice.
41:18
Approximately 99% of physicians face a lawsuit by age 65.
41:26
9%.
41:31
I I can't wrap my mind around this.
41:37
And I would be so scared to be a doctor, and I have a brother who's a doctor, he's a very good doctor.
41:44
And I've never talked to him about this before, but uh my guess is that if I talked to him and said, hey, are you ever scared about a lawsuit?
41:53
He he may have already had lawsuits filed against him.
41:58
You know, if 99% by the age of 65, 99% of physicians face a lawsuit.
42:06
My guess is uh he it's probably a pretty good chance there was some kind of a lawsuit that was filed at some point.
42:15
And it's it's frightening.
42:20
It's frightening for the patients, it's frightening for the doctors.
42:23
It's you know, we have this human element, and where there's human element, there is also another element at play, and that's the element of surprise.
42:35
It's the element of surprise because you never know what could happen at any given minute.
42:41
How many times have we heard from family members, and they're like, I don't know what happened.
42:46
My family member was fine one minute, and then next thing they're they're gone.
42:53
You know, this happens every single day, and you know, it's it's it's heartbreaking, it's tough, it's complicated.
43:02
Uh our medical practice is very, very complicated.
43:08
You know, like I said before the break, it's it's part science, part art, uh, part common sense, uh part medical training.
43:17
Uh, and if any of those fail at any point, it's a recipe for disaster.
43:26
So enter artificial intelligence, not that it can take over doctors.
43:30
It it will never take over physical doctors.
43:35
But to be able to have a helper, to be able to have an extra set of eyes, hands, you know, think about surgeries.
43:46
Look at what robotics are already doing in surgery, look at uh laser surgeries, how incredibly accurate they are.
43:55
Spectacularly accurate.
43:59
I think that's so promising.
44:02
And when I saw the story about the artificial intelligence t-shirt that will effectively, and I say will because it will.
44:18
We already know what AI is capable of.
44:20
We already know what doctors are capable of.
44:23
We have a lot of brilliant minds, and you put those together, you now have a t-shirt that's full of sensors, and it can monitor somebody 24-7 and feed that information into artificial intelligence to be analyzed.
44:38
It's incredible.
44:40
So there are around 200 volunteers that are going to wear the shirt for up to three months.
44:44
Researchers will evaluate how effectively it detects abnormal rhythms outside of a hospital environment.
44:54
I mean, no more is there going to be just a snapshot.
44:57
It's going to be a real it's like watching live TV.
45:01
It's like a live video.
45:05
You know, imagine that trying to get context from somebody or about somebody, and you just look at a picture and somebody's like, okay, analyze that picture and tell me everything about that person.
45:15
I want to know their age, their weight, their uh their height, their body fat, um, their job, their uh their medical background.
45:25
I want all of it just by looking at that photograph of them.
45:30
You can't do it.
45:31
It's literally an impossibility.
45:35
Whereas if somebody hands you hours and hours and hours and hours and hours, hundreds of hours of footage, and says, I want you to watch every single second of these videos about that person, and I want you to give me a little bit of a pattern and tell me about this person.
45:57
Tell me what the person's likes are, tell me what uh what their personality is.
46:04
Tell me about that person to the best of your ability.
46:07
You're gonna get a lot better picture.
46:10
And so it's really an analog for uh for what's happening with the artificial intelligence world, the world of AI is changing the world as we know it.
46:20
I mean, dramatically.
46:24
So people with inherited heart conditions that typically runs very silently for generations.
46:36
Millions of people live with heart disorders in the United States right now.
46:41
I'd I could be one of them.
46:42
I probably am.
46:46
We have a history.
46:48
We have a genetic history of heart disease in our family.
46:54
My grandfather had a massive heart attack at the age of 42.
46:59
It skipped my father, and then my brother at the same age, the age of 42 had a massive heart attack and died.
47:12
It's there is a genetic component.
47:15
We know this, we know this because of testing.
47:19
But what we don't know, there it's all the unknowns and the unknowns are what's scary.
47:24
What we don't know is how each one of us in the family is affected.
47:28
We have no idea.
47:34
I'd put him in the category almost of being obsessed with testing.
47:40
He gets routine blood work, he gets CT scans, uh, you know, the the um the cardiac scans, uh, on and on and on.
47:53
Like he's constantly getting tested.
47:56
He's constantly seeing doctors.
47:59
Like he's very religious about getting routine checkups, and I commend him for it.
48:05
Um, I'm not picking on him whatsoever.
48:07
I wish that I saw a doctor as often as as he did.
48:15
I I don't think I've been to a doctor for at least a decade.
48:21
And I'm not bragging here.
48:22
I'm not proud of that.
48:26
You know, so most of us are looking for uh a couple of different things.
48:32
One is convenience.
48:33
We're looking for like, right?
48:35
I don't like, I'll be honest, I don't like going to the doctor.
48:40
I just uh I've I've been there many times in my life, and it's just not one of my favorite things to do.
48:48
It's not I've never walked out of there and was like, man, that was just the most awesome thing that I ever the best use of my time.
48:57
I just don't feel that way, and it's nothing against doctors, I have literally nothing against doctors.
49:03
Like I said, I have a I have a brother who's a doctor, he's a very good doctor.
49:07
I have nothing against doctors, but it's that um convenience factor.
49:13
It's always an inconvenience, you're never brought back in time.
49:17
Um it's just it's such a hassle.
49:21
I don't like it, I don't enjoy it.
49:24
There's nothing enjoyable about going to a doctor.
49:30
All right, and then there's the other part, the other thing that we're looking for is accuracy and competency.
49:41
And maybe part of why I don't love going to the doctor is it's not that I've had bad experiences.
49:49
I've never had a bad experience, but I've definitely had things where doctors shrugged off things that I didn't think should have been shrugged off.
49:57
And that doesn't sit well with me.
50:00
Yeah, I'd rather a doctor be a little bit more cautious than just write, you know, shrug me off and be like, eh, whatever, you'll be fine.
50:13
You know, so it it's really challenging to find a doctor who who has that good balance where they order enough tests that they're not uh running you into bankruptcy.
50:25
Because I've seen doctors do that where they run 50 gajillion tests.
50:30
You're like, I literally just came in with uh a cough.
50:35
Well, we're gonna we're gonna test you for bronchitis and we're gonna test you for pneumonia, and we're gonna, while we're in here, we'll test you for stroke, and you know, it's like, wait a second.
50:48
You know, so people want a high degree of competency.
50:54
They want to know when they go, they're gonna be they're gonna be looked at, they're gonna be looked at objectively, that they're gonna be diagnosed quickly, accurately.
51:07
You know, we're looking for those things, but we're looking for that convenience factor too.
51:12
Whether we like it or not, we're Americans, and we like our convenience.
51:17
This AI shirt does all of it.
51:22
It's very convenient.
51:23
How convenient to throw a shirt on?
51:27
And I'm looking at a picture of it right now.
51:32
It's it looks like a t-shirt.
51:36
You can use it as an undershirt, you throw it on, it literally takes two seconds.
51:43
Use it as an undershirt, put a shirt over top of it, voila, you're good to go.
51:48
You can wash it, you can throw it back on.
51:50
Uh easy peasy.
51:53
I love that they built in the convenience factor.
51:57
I love that.
51:59
But there's also going to be a very high degree of competency.
52:05
And that's not coming from human doctors.
52:07
That's, I mean, ultimately it is, right?
52:09
They're the ones who uh who have the data.
52:14
I never ever want to underestimate what doctors do, the hard work that they do.
52:21
I I really do respect and admire doctors and nurses, physicians, uh, assistants.
52:32
All of them.
52:32
I have tremendous respect for them.
52:35
So I don't want anybody to mishear me and think that I have a thing against doctors and nurses.
52:41
I don't.
52:41
We need them.
52:44
My children have, in my opinion, some of the best.
52:48
Uh, if not in our county, maybe even across a couple counties.
52:54
They're fantastic, they're wonderful.
52:58
But there is that human element.
53:01
And that human element does make mistakes.
53:05
That human element does fail to see things that AI can objectively view.
53:13
It can see it, it can spot it.
53:14
This is happening over and over and over.
53:16
Look up some of the studies.
53:18
Look at some of the recent studies on cancers that have been detected immediately by AI.
53:27
And doctors, human doctors are saying we never would have been able to detect that.
53:32
I don't look at that as a negative.
53:34
I look at that as a very positive thing.
53:36
And I think we live in a world where AI and humans must coexist.
53:42
Like I said, the genie is out of the bottle, and we're not putting it back in.
53:48
AI is here.
53:49
It is a companion to humans.
53:51
We do coexist together.
53:53
We will continue to coexist together.
53:56
And the question is, how are we going to use it?
53:59
So the AI t shirt, when is this going to be available?
54:02
Researchers estimate that the technology could reach clinical practice within five years.
54:09
Before that happens, as I mentioned, it has to undergo rigorous trials and regulatory review.
54:15
That's all a good thing.
54:18
The initial testing is focusing on adults, but if the results are strong, it could eventually extend to children.
54:26
I believe it will.
55:04
Just to have peace of mind, if nothing else.
55:08
Or if not peace of mind, to be able to catch something that uh that doctors otherwise wouldn't be able to catch.
55:14
I would, I would love that.
55:15
I would absolutely, absolutely love that.
55:18
And I think most of us who are live today who actually care about our health.
55:25
I think that all of us would be insane to not look at this as a win for the medical community.
55:31
I think this is a huge win.
55:32
I think this is one of the biggest wins maybe of our lifetime.
55:39
I mean, if we can spot the number one killer, all the silent things that are happening right beneath the skin, if we can detect that early on with a high degree of accuracy and get intervention by by cardiologists.
55:58
That's that's a game changer for humanity.
56:03
It's an absolute game changer.
56:07
It has so many implications, not just for health, but for for kids to get to grow up with parents, for parents to get to grow up with their kids.
56:14
A lot of children have heart disease.
56:19
This is absolutely 100% a game changer.
56:22
And that, my friends, is the hidden lightness.
56:25
I love, love, love things like this.
56:28
And uh this just got me going this week.
56:31
Um, I am super excited about this.
56:34
You can find more out about my show and get all the latest podcasts if you go to the menu navigation bar at America Outloud.news under our shows or schedule.
56:43
You'll be in the know.
56:44
There is a hidden lightness that shines aside of all of us.
56:48
When there's so much darkness that envelops the world, and believe me, there's a lot of it.
56:52
Remember that it doesn't take much light to expose that darkness and to ultimately inspire other people.
56:58
Join me in being a light.
