Transcript
- 0:07Music.
- 0:23And six. My name is Matt Phillips, creator of runchatlive.com.
- 0:27And as always, this episode is being recorded live on the Sports Therapy Association
- 0:31YouTube channel and on the Sports Therapy Association Facebook page.
- 0:35If you do decide to join us live, then you can ask the guests questions directly.
- 0:40And when you do comment or make a great wise question, I'll bring it up on the screen.
- 0:44Talking of wise, Nikki Mansfield has just come into the room,
- 0:46says, well, hello there.
- 0:48It's a great way of socialising and meeting other therapists.
- 0:50So if you are listening to the podcast,
- 0:51and thank you very much do please leave a great review five
- 0:54stars is always a good number but you may want to join us
- 0:56live so you can socialize network meet people
- 0:59in your area and of course ask questions to our guests directly gary benson
- 1:03founder of the sta is in the room as well so everyone's smart smart yourself
- 1:07up see our talk hey gary thanks for joining us and other people are coming in
- 1:10too so that's great so welcome to part two of our look at the use of ai artificial
- 1:16intelligence in healthcare i've been struggling this week writing ai because
- 1:20it It always looks like Al,
- 1:21especially depending on the font. So everywhere I'm just seeing the use of Al in healthcare.
- 1:25Hopefully you've realised it is AI and not Al, because that was on my mind quite
- 1:27a lot. So we'll just go with that.
- 1:29Very shortly in this episode, entitled AI Systems for the Modern Therapy Practice,
- 1:33we'll be talking to my special guests, Marcus Slade and Rich Smith,
- 1:37who are the founders of Physiogeny Technology.
- 1:40But first, a huge thank you to my wonderful guest last week,
- 1:45the wonderful Joe Turner, founder of mehab.co.uk and host of You Matter podcast.
- 1:52I always say it and it's like a broken record, but it was a fantastic episode.
- 1:55So lucky to get all my guests, all 206.
- 1:59Actually, I haven't heard these two tonight, but I'm thinking I'm going to say
- 2:02I spoke to my family. I think they're going to fit into this category very nicely. Wonderful guests.
- 2:05And in this particular one, Joe Turner discusses a recent article in The Guardian.
- 2:09If you haven't heard this episode i'll do encourage you to go and listen to
- 2:14it there's an article in the garden recently proudly saying the top first nhs
- 2:19physiotherapy clinic run by ai to start this year exclusive new platform to
- 2:24provide same day appointments with digital.
- 2:27Physiotherapist efforts to cut waiting times so joe talked about and i agreed
- 2:32and i'll be interested to have some feedback via email as always matt at the
- 2:36sto.uk if you feel that this This article is a little bit misleading,
- 2:39a little bit edited, getting a bit happy, a bit of clickbait,
- 2:41because it's not a digital physiotherapist.
- 2:44It's not run by AI.
- 2:46It is part of a triage system where AI is used to direct patients to the right
- 2:52place and basically look for loads of ways where man or woman person time can
- 2:57be cut down. And I can sort that out wonderfully.
- 2:59But Joe was particularly keen on sharing how as therapists, as sports therapists,
- 3:06massage therapists, sports rehab specialists and physios, osteoskeletal professionals,
- 3:11everybody in health care needs to really recognise that the human skills we
- 3:16have got and we do use every day in clinic and some of us may need to improve them.
- 3:21But Joe highlighted things like listening skills, encouraging,
- 3:26building trust and confidence.
- 3:28These are all skills which as yet and probably thankfully AI can't really do.
- 3:33And we need to champion those skills and realise that plays a massive important
- 3:38part in helping our patients and clients get better.
- 3:42But also, as we're going to be talking about tonight, realise that there is a lot of AI.
- 3:47If we understand how it can actually help
- 3:50us a lot and improve our businesses and
- 3:54help our patients produce a positive experience and
- 3:58help us so that's the topic of tonight's episode it's be a wonderful segue from
- 4:02last week to this week we are going to look at the episode entitled ai systems
- 4:06for the modern therapy practice with like i say my guests marcus slade and rich
- 4:12smith who are founders of physio genie technology so let's bring them up.
- 4:18Music.
- 4:32And Marcus Slade. How are you doing? Hi, how are you? Okay. Great.
- 4:36Thanks for joining me, guys.
- 4:37Sorry about the rather lengthy intro, but it's worked out really nicely,
- 4:41I think, having you two guys follow Joe the week before,
- 4:45because we addressed the elephant in the room, in that a lot of us do fear AI,
- 4:50and we think that it's going to take over our jobs.
- 4:53And then Joe commented on that article, as I said, but we realised that we do,
- 4:58all of us are recognising that we have got skills AI can't do yet.
- 5:02And we talked about that extensively last week but you guys
- 5:06are here to tell us that there's a lot that ai can do
- 5:09potentially and so yeah thank you
- 5:11very much for coming along no thanks for having us thanks for having us yeah
- 5:15so people who are not aware of you maybe if you could introduce yourselves and
- 5:22what role you play in physio junior technology in any order after you marcus Thanks, Richard.
- 5:29So yeah, I'm a sports therapist by background. I still actively run sports therapy clinics.
- 5:34And my role within Physiogeny initially was essentially just to sort of work
- 5:40with Rich to try and develop products that were viable for our industry.
- 5:44And then I've now taken more of a commercial role in the business.
- 5:49Fantastic from my side of things i
- 5:52do all things tech so software development technology
- 5:55infrastructure and also trying to drill down into what we actually need to build
- 6:01from things that me and marcus talk about from a clinical side of things working
- 6:05through my wacky ideas yeah this is great we've had a few guests on now with
- 6:11businesses who in one way or another i'm looking
- 6:14at how to help therapists use the technology that's
- 6:17out there to benefit their businesses and help the patient experience and
- 6:21you know what i think in all the three or four i'm thinking of there has
- 6:24always been a therapist with their feet on the floor who know what these issues
- 6:27are and then there's excuse the expression the geek that's you're going to be
- 6:31rich smith who is probably knows loads and loads about software and technology
- 6:37and that but needs to work with the therapist to say well i know all this but
- 6:40what do you need sort of thing so together Heather,
- 6:42have you found that it's basically that combination is working really well for you?
- 6:45Yeah, absolutely. I think it's underpinned everything, hasn't it, Rich?
- 6:49We made the decision quite early on to bring part of the Physiogeny office space
- 6:56to one of my practices so that we could actually drill down on sort of features
- 7:00and the roadmap in real time rather than the backwards and forwards.
- 7:04And I think it was a real turning point in what we were doing.
- 7:07Doing yeah absolutely i think it it's
- 7:10also really exciting because i feel like when we're working that close
- 7:13together there's a lot of synergy that happens like around
- 7:16the conversations we might start talking about one issue
- 7:19and then four or five more ideas will spin off the back of that and working
- 7:23closely together we're able to to build them out and test them pretty quick
- 7:27so it's incredibly exciting for a quote-unquote geek as well good i'm glad i
- 7:33mean i'm a geek myself with running and stuff so it's not at all it's good to be a bit geeky.
- 7:39So I'm interested, Marcus, you are a sports therapist. Yeah.
- 7:42Where did you study? Did you have interest? At UTB. There you go.
- 7:45So my first question, obviously, and I did, I'm not going to hit,
- 7:48I didn't want to put this onto you straight away because of our audience,
- 7:51obviously, as maybe sports therapists,
- 7:53sports, we have especially sports therapists as a sports therapist.
- 7:57I still feel like I'm setting you up here, but what made you call it Physiogeny?
- 8:02Well, okay. So we touched on this previously when we spoke.
- 8:05We looked at how do we represent what we're trying to achieve and how does it sound and,
- 8:13Physiogeny just has more of a ring to it than Sports Therapy Genie and I think
- 8:18there's a consensus in sort of applications and software that if it's Physiogeny
- 8:23it covers the whole spectrum of MSK and everything else whereas I think Sports
- 8:27Therapy Genie sounds slightly isolated to one industry so that was sort of the
- 8:32approach we took with that.
- 8:33That's a really good good answer so basically if anyone is
- 8:36listening just thinking why is matt phillips again got physio on the show i
- 8:40haven't got a physio on the show it's marcus slade and marcus slade has called
- 8:43this physio genie because it's not just about sports msk okay it's about all
- 8:48the other aspects of physiotherapy so maybe it's going to be useful for somebody
- 8:51who's working with spiritually or.
- 8:54Any of the other massive hospital labs which i had never worked in and would
- 8:58never really want to at all so that's why that makes sense that's a good answer
- 9:01marcus and it's not just about msk case sports therapy so i call it that good
- 9:05stuff that was the elephant in the room and i'm hoping we still got listeners
- 9:08yeah fine hasn't dropped at all needed to get that in there right so.
- 9:14Yes. Clinical business and a software company. I'm interested then,
- 9:17Marcus, maybe if we start with you, what were some of the issues that you found
- 9:21in your experience of having the Sports Therapy Clinic and that,
- 9:24which made you suddenly think, you know what, we need to create something here?
- 9:28There's a couple of things, really. I think one of the things I can say is that
- 9:33I set pay on up 10 years ago or so, very much started from the very bottom of
- 9:40the couch in the back of my car, and off I went.
- 9:42And I think there's always an endeavor to try and build on what you're building,
- 9:47especially if you do own your own practice.
- 9:49You have an element of an entrepreneurial spirit, so you're always trying to build on what you have.
- 9:53And there's nobody closer to your business than you, So anything you can do
- 9:58to fire up that business, whether it's technology or advertising or marketing,
- 10:02you sort of always have got your ear to the ground.
- 10:04The problem I found early on is that there was no gap to bridge between expensive
- 10:08software that you need to integrate.
- 10:11And then when you do integrate it, if it's got a ton of features that are just
- 10:15redundant for your business at that time, you almost feel like you're not utilizing
- 10:21the system and yet you're paying a premium.
- 10:23And then within that once I
- 10:26got to a point where we needed these systems and
- 10:29platforms I found that functionality was a
- 10:32real issue I felt like they were sort of every system
- 10:35seemed to do the same thing but there was no flexibility in the
- 10:38data no flexibility in how the system
- 10:41operated for my clinic and me and
- 10:44Rich met a chance encounter he was a patient of mine
- 10:46and he was leaving my clinic one day and he asked me
- 10:49the question if there's anything you'd like to look at probably like
- 10:52most sports therapists who's thought of
- 10:55an app or a product that could set the
- 10:57world on fire i've got the little lightning bolt
- 11:00in my brain and rich facilitated me to be able
- 11:03to sort of make it a reality really and rich
- 11:07was that a surprise to you you probably in your innocence of
- 11:10being a patient have you experienced yourself that maybe
- 11:13some of the info being given to you or the ways that clinics
- 11:16were running was kind of like missing something
- 11:19not so much that there was anything
- 11:22missing uh because i didn't necessarily have that contact
- 11:25context from just being a patient but i think the the thing that always sort
- 11:30of stuck out to me even from like our first conversations was that there's a
- 11:34lot of data going around be it if it's on pen and paper or in a in a management.
- 11:39System and to me where there's data there's opportunity.
- 11:43Like a true it node where there's
- 11:46data there's opportunity like all the great t-shirt and yeah
- 11:51i think that that sort of immediately like sparked my interest i mean obviously
- 11:55with the sort of like advent of ai becoming more mainstream i think it naturally
- 12:01kind of lent itself to being something we could work together on and yeah it
- 12:06kind of spiraled very quickly very quickly like.
- 12:09OK, well, let's introduce people to the website and then we can identify,
- 12:14go into a bit more depth of those issues, which focus, hopefully, listeners.
- 12:17If you're listening, listeners, then do come up with some.
- 12:20Are you using AI at the moment? Are you interested in AI doing something for you?
- 12:25It'd be nice to see whether some of your concerns or situations are going to
- 12:29be answered when we go through some of the products which these guys are offering with their platform.
- 12:33But I'm going to bring up on the screen now so people can see. so
- 12:36basically we're talking about put that on a
- 12:39big screen so you can see we're talking about physio genie.com and
- 12:43a couple of different apps which all come together
- 12:46and one thing i do want to get out straight away
- 12:49for people who are listening because i think this is probably on everyone's
- 12:52mind we will be addressing this is oh here we go how much
- 12:55does it cost here we go it's really going to save my life if i
- 12:58pay 50 60 70 pounds a month so i want
- 13:01to get it out first of all that there is
- 13:05a seven day free trial that's the most important thing so you
- 13:08can test this out and then if you do decide you can
- 13:11cancel any time and if you do decide to go
- 13:14with it then it is ready for this 14 pounds
- 13:1799 a month oh i just realized i sound like i'm on some shopping channel
- 13:20but yeah i was i was pleasantly surprised myself and you
- 13:23know it's like i mean the sta is not about kind of telling
- 13:26you you need this or you don't need this it's totally up to you but
- 13:28one thing I am really aware of after being with
- 13:31you guys for so long and myself in clinics is price is paramount it's really
- 13:36important and there's some hard decisions out there but £14.99 a month sounded
- 13:40very reasonable to me and with that we'll go back to our guests to to have an
- 13:46idea of what that £14.99 a month is made up of.
- 13:50Yeah so we we developed the safe system as a mobile app that facilitates your clinical assessment.
- 13:58So there's three tools within the app. So we have video analysis,
- 14:01which is a common theme in a lot of assessment apps.
- 14:04We then have a three point range of motion assessment.
- 14:08So this is essentially regional assessment and you can drop three points on
- 14:11the screen and then calculate your angle.
- 14:14And then we have a beta version of the AI powered range of motion assessment.
- 14:18So this is an AI, exactly that, an AI powered forward assessment that calculates the range of motion.
- 14:25And then attached to the app, you have a patient portal.
- 14:29So when you've recorded your assessment on the app, all of the data pulls through
- 14:34automatically to your portal.
- 14:35So there's no need to write up any of the results. Or if you're like I am,
- 14:39writing everything on whiteboards and then transferring it over,
- 14:42this automates that whole process.
- 14:44There's a couple of cool little features in there as well, such as voice dictation.
- 14:47So if there's any observations you're picking up during your assessment and
- 14:51you speak back to the voice dictation feature, it will actually then transcribe
- 14:57all of that into your patient notes.
- 14:59So, yeah, it's sort of a one stop shop for assessment and then patient management.
- 15:05Let's go to the assessment first of all. So yeah, a lot of people are making,
- 15:11they do want that facility.
- 15:13And I like it already because there are other bits of software out there,
- 15:17free software as well, which will allow you to measure joint angles and things.
- 15:21But straight away, I'm thinking, yeah, there's probably too much information
- 15:23there. They can be a little bit overcomplicated and they don't look too pretty when they're free.
- 15:28But yeah, so when it comes to assessment, so you've got this.
- 15:31Can you talk to me a little bit more about the AI side of things? what is
- 15:33how is it going to save you time compared to using
- 15:36another app out there which allows you to measure angles on that
- 15:40question there rich yeah sure i'll tell
- 15:43you something so yeah for the for the ai range of
- 15:46motion assessment the goal we had in mind for
- 15:49that is that you can stand in front of your patient
- 15:52it'll take you through each of the measurements
- 15:55that you want to take for whatever region you're measuring and you
- 15:58can just instruct your patient to perform the action
- 16:01and it'll will capture the angle for you no tracking lines no
- 16:04kind of trying to get a horizontal line it's that's all done for you all
- 16:07done for you yeah so all you
- 16:10have to do is hit save on each measurement and it
- 16:13will move you on automatically to the next one and in terms
- 16:16of saving time me and marcus tested the shoulder assessment on that which is
- 16:20currently the the beta region that we're releasing and we got that done in about
- 16:25two and a half minutes yeah for a full shoulder assessment And that's from assessment
- 16:30with all of those outcomes actually populated in your patient results.
- 16:35So you could do your full shoulder assessment, have it all pull through to your
- 16:40portal and generate a PDF report off the back of that pretty much within five minutes.
- 16:45Sounds pretty cool. What are we like, because gait analysis is my little passion,
- 16:51but what are we like for kind of reliability and are there
- 16:54measures you need to put into place to make sure that you are getting
- 16:57interim and inter-rater reliability for each time you
- 17:00take that measurement or so when you
- 17:03first do your assessment it'll ask
- 17:06you to calibrate the screen and that takes all
- 17:09the measurements that you need ready and then
- 17:12you can just go you don't need to enter anything in off the back of that okay
- 17:15i guess you just got to make sure you're standing in the same place each
- 17:18time no angles no kind of parallel view because measurements
- 17:21can change i suppose even ai can get it wrong if you're standing at
- 17:24a slight angle or yeah there is an element of like
- 17:27user reliability but we've we've
- 17:31tried to build it to be as robust as possible so for example
- 17:33for the shoulder assessment we can actually track movement towards the camera
- 17:38as well as to the side so if you're doing say shoulder flexion and shoulder
- 17:43abduction you don't need to have your patient turn around us all they can just
- 17:46do that facing you so once they're in position the goal that me and Marcus have had is,
- 17:52they're in the position it's our job now to facilitate the data capture like
- 17:56we should be doing our job at that point.
- 17:59Sounds pretty good. So there's something which I imagine listeners are doing
- 18:03every day, taking assessments and referring to them later on to see if you're achieving your goals.
- 18:08And by the sounds of it, anyone who currently is either doing it by hand or
- 18:12using a goniometer or something or using an app where you have to drag it, they're a nightmare.
- 18:16And this can all be done with iPhones as long as it's kind of fairly new.
- 18:21Then anything will cope with the system requirements.
- 18:24Requirements yeah yeah yeah we've we've released android and we're just waiting
- 18:30on iphone approval oh really you went android first that's i respect yes normally
- 18:35it's the other way around that's.
- 18:36The problem with a lot of i've i've come into you know i've
- 18:39talked to a lot of developers and it's like oh we'll get ios sorted first of
- 18:42all and then one day we'll do android but you guys have got android
- 18:44sorted already that's nice fantastic i've got
- 18:47a question here already questions are coming in thick and fast so let's go to
- 18:50i mean we might need to talk about some of the
- 18:53other things which are available on this but based on
- 18:55what i've talked about so far gary found the sda said
- 18:58good question gary is seven days enough time
- 19:01to fully appreciate or test functionality given that most therapists busy
- 19:04in clinic and have busy lives are they going to see how much
- 19:07this software could do for them in seven days this
- 19:11is a absolutely great this is a something that
- 19:14me and rich have touched on and we have touched on
- 19:17the flexibility we have with this because it's a
- 19:20new release product it's it's something that we listening to
- 19:24if it needs to be stretched then absolutely we
- 19:27we have the flexibility to do that you know the reality
- 19:30is we want people to feel comfortable with the system
- 19:33before they decide to deploy in practice obviously running my own practice i
- 19:38understand the need for that as well so that's interesting this is something
- 19:41we were talking off air as well i mean this is kind of your baby and you need
- 19:44as much feedback as possible to have different versions and stuff so that's
- 19:48interesting to know So if feedback did come back saying,
- 19:50I love the system, but really I need a little bit longer, then that's something
- 19:52you might change in the future versions.
- 19:56Good stuff. Good answers. Oh, you've had it now. Nikki's asked a question.
- 19:59That was an easy one from Gary. Here we go, Nikki. Go on.
- 20:02Let's see what Nikki said. Nikki Mansfield has said, I'm not using AI.
- 20:05I haven't seen a place for it yet in my practice. I resisted putting my die on live for years.
- 20:09I'm such a control freak. So I guess I'm going to take some persuading.
- 20:12I told you it's going to be hard.
- 20:13But yeah, let's talk about maybe that a little bit.
- 20:16Plenty of reasons why people don't want to use AI. It could be,
- 20:20well, Nicky's young, just out of her teenage years, but it could be that they're older.
- 20:24It could be they're a bit of a kind of phobia against technology.
- 20:27But yeah, how do you help people overcome these obstacles?
- 20:30I think the biggest thing I would say on that is the idea that AI is this all-encompassing
- 20:36sort of thing that's here to disrupt.
- 20:38The AI is a facilitator. So especially in the system that we've built,
- 20:43it's not the the whole package isn't
- 20:46the ai the ai is just part of the system so i
- 20:49think when we look at ai technology it's having an understanding of what it's
- 20:54trying to achieve and not that it's just here to do the overall task but that
- 20:59is then down to the people implementing the technology to to sort of convey
- 21:03that message i suppose touching on the point at the start with this
- 21:08new application that's been in testing in Scotland, the AI physiotherapy clinic.
- 21:14I think that's sort of one end of the scale where you have a complete solution,
- 21:17essentially, that strips away the human contact.
- 21:22Whether or not it does that, obviously, the jury's out until the full sort of
- 21:26scope of the picture comes back.
- 21:27But with the system we've developed, it's more about how can we make certain processes easy?
- 21:35Easy and then how can we take the data that's
- 21:38captured and make it powerful so a
- 21:41couple of the things with the portal that happen when you have
- 21:44captured your assessment the data pulls through
- 21:46to your portal now what the system will now do is it will intuitively tell you
- 21:51if the patient's progressed since the last appointment it will actually give
- 21:55you percentage indicators on that progress so it's not just about does it capture
- 22:01the assessment and does it do it in a cool way that's AI powered.
- 22:04It's more about the whole flow
- 22:05of data that comes through the system and how can we make that usable.
- 22:09And one of the things that I found early on, and I sort of set my store,
- 22:13let me reach on this and said, I wouldn't bring it into my practice until I
- 22:16was fully happy that it actually did what I needed it to do.
- 22:19It was that part that really excited me. It
- 22:22was the fact that we now have this system where I
- 22:25can record a range of motion assessment in several minutes
- 22:28but not only do i get the value of automated data population so i don't have
- 22:33to write all that information up i now get to see whether that patient's improved
- 22:37and i can actually show my patient that data and it's cooperated in a way that's
- 22:43readable understandable and also it's.
- 22:46Intuitive for the patient so i think that was the most important part for me
- 22:50is understanding that ai is not this robot that's going to come in and disrupt
- 22:54our workplace it's it's there to facilitate.
- 22:57It's down to how we implement it that's important.
- 23:00Very good. I like it. I like it. So Gary came back with a good question here again.
- 23:06This is good because you're getting questions now from actual therapists and
- 23:09this was on my mind as well.
- 23:10So Gary says, does this system work with passive testing as well as active rock testing?
- 23:15So is there a way of it recording and calculating you actually moving that person's
- 23:21arm up and then seeing what angle you achieve lifting as opposed to the patient doing it actively?
- 23:27Yeah, so we support custom measurements in the app.
- 23:32So through use of the existing features in the app, we could facilitate those
- 23:37sort of measurements for sure.
- 23:39So one of the the things
- 23:42we wanted to do is provide flexibility around different types
- 23:45of measurements that people could capture and we also
- 23:49wanted them to be treated as exactly the
- 23:52same as any other measurement so you can
- 23:55define your own custom measurements associate them
- 23:58to whatever regions or no region you
- 24:02want add them into your assessments through
- 24:05the app and they'll pull through to the to the portal as.
- 24:08They would any other assessment measurement as well
- 24:10one of the big things with that that are that we picked up
- 24:13on early on so the the test that we used for that was a
- 24:16knee valgus measurement when somebody was performing a
- 24:18lunge and that drew from an application i
- 24:22used to use for video analysis in clinic where i could
- 24:25almost get the measurement but then i would have to i would
- 24:28have to put that into the system and i would have to interpret that
- 24:31data with this we can now actually customize
- 24:34those measurements and we can assign them so it will
- 24:37still pick up that intuitive progress flow in your.
- 24:41Patient portal without you actually having to sort
- 24:44of input that data manually yourself time server
- 24:48so just try a picture then so if you can have it
- 24:50let's imagine an ideal scenario you can do an ipad i presume yeah
- 24:54or an ios yeah yeah no
- 24:57see yeah but yeah okay so you could do it like a tablet i'm thinking of
- 25:00have a tab in on a tripod so you're getting that reliability with the
- 25:03right lighting and everything and then patients facing the
- 25:06camera and you know they're in the right spot maybe across on the floor or something then
- 25:09you are raising their arm up to the
- 25:12point where maybe it just doesn't want to go any further then the
- 25:15ai will still be even though you're standing there maybe holding that
- 25:18arm can the ai still calculate that angle so that
- 25:21would be facilitated by one of our probably one
- 25:24of our video analysis options so you would
- 25:27record the video and then you can go back through
- 25:30and annotate the video so for example in
- 25:33in that in that situation you stop
- 25:36recording the video you could then draw on your
- 25:39angle and say for example the shoulder
- 25:42assessment off the back of the video it doesn't have to
- 25:45be from the ai and so if for
- 25:48example you like the idea of the app but maybe
- 25:51some of the ai features because it's only beta aren't there yet or you don't
- 25:54might trust it you can we can actually facilitate the data capture through any
- 25:58of the other any of the assessment modes as well and then once you calculate
- 26:02the angle you still be have the benefit of it being recorded and then all that
- 26:07puts into this nice okay good question okay i like that.
- 26:10Or does Nikki come back to say, young Nikki says, I can see a sector of our
- 26:15client base is going to be very drawn to the statistical presentation of regression.
- 26:19Yeah, it's an important part, isn't it? It's not everybody's cup of tea,
- 26:21but it does help a lot of people who do want to see the stats.
- 26:24As I say, I'm just thinking running analysis where some people say,
- 26:28oh, why do you have all the bells and the lights and the colours?
- 26:30It's because to get that therapeutic alliance with your client,
- 26:33if they're going to do what you tell them to do, if they're going to believe
- 26:35you and do their exercises or their rehab or sleep better or eat better,
- 26:38But it helps. That buy-in is important.
- 26:41A lot of people do get that buy-in, that respect for being impressed professionally.
- 26:47We also provide, there's also intuitive graphs for progress over time.
- 26:52So when you enter the patient portal and you click your patient,
- 26:56the first thing you'll see before you get through to the range of motion screen
- 27:00is you'll see a graph over time, a regional graph.
- 27:03So you can select on your body chart the region, and it will show you your assessment progress over time.
- 27:08Which we thought was a really cool feature if you just wanted to show your patient,
- 27:11you know, this is how you've been getting on and you can see over time if there's
- 27:15any changes, any laws, and you can make informed decisions on the back of that.
- 27:20Very cool. Sounds good. I'm going to bring this. This might not do it justice.
- 27:24I'll put a few links in to better quality images of this. I'm going to put this up here.
- 27:29Let's change it to that. You can't really see on the screen here,
- 27:32but basically it's got an idea here of some bar charts and the kind of client
- 27:37typical kind of anatomical position there.
- 27:40And it's got shaded areas and stats and all sorts of stuff, which looks very nice, nice and neat.
- 27:44And it shows the app as well so because that's something
- 27:47you guys for reading on the
- 27:50website put quite a lot of importance to was the presentability of
- 27:53it and the quality of the pdfs and stuff that's something you
- 27:56put some time into absolutely i think it
- 27:58was the most important part of the of the whole process really is
- 28:01if we're going to focus on streamlining the
- 28:05approach and making the data really powerful it needs
- 28:08to be presentable and it needs to be be presented in a way that's easy
- 28:11efficient and essentially you want to
- 28:14be able to not just use it yourself but to show your patient thanks yeah
- 28:17yeah i think like on the data side of things like
- 28:20the the ideal goal for any sort of representation of the data is you shouldn't
- 28:26feel yourself having to think about what you're looking at it should just look
- 28:30intuitive and real intuitive and the insights that you draw from it should just
- 28:34feel natural so that's something that we've tried to
- 28:38uh at least from from day one of them i don't know if you've done this forgive
- 28:42me if you haven't done it yet but i think it'd be something you could quite
- 28:44do easily but is there the ability for clinics to put their own logo in there
- 28:49or something so if they are sending the pdf.
- 28:51It can look like it's coming from them rather than so is that there is it what
- 28:55it marcus is nodding like i'm not sure if it's been put in yet but i know that
- 29:00we've it's something we can do isn't it yeah it's in our roadmap yep nice yeah
- 29:04that's quite i think that's quite a useful one as well Well,
- 29:06because then the clinics themselves are selling their brand.
- 29:09I mean, you can still have your name on it somewhere, so you know what software
- 29:12they're using. But I think that's quite cool. Great.
- 29:16Where else? So we've talked about assessment, which is an area.
- 29:19We're always talking on the podcast about how we, a lot of the time,
- 29:22depending on the client, but in most cases, we need to devote more time to the
- 29:26subjective assessment, because that's when we're actually listening to the client
- 29:28and using all those wonderful human skills that AI probably can't.
- 29:31It's where we're showing the client empathy, empathy and we're giving an answer
- 29:36based on not just what they're saying, not just words coming into our ears,
- 29:39but how they're acting and how they're pausing and stuff, which AI at the moment
- 29:42probably can't do as well as us.
- 29:45So that's great, because that would mean we have to have less time using your
- 29:48stuff on the actually objective assessment, which is great.
- 29:51What about what other areas have you covered where you think therapists are
- 29:54losing time and AI can help?
- 29:57So we have another product, the Orion CMS. So as a sort of continuation of the
- 30:02portal, we, and this will be released shortly, and this is sort of an exclusive to that actually.
- 30:07Essentially, the CMS is the next step up from the portal.
- 30:10This will also fully integrate with the safe app.
- 30:14You don't need to have a safe subscription to have the CMS, but it will work
- 30:18as the portal does essentially in terms of data migration.
- 30:21The CMS then has all of those other features on an organizational level.
- 30:26What we've sort of figured out over the past few months is that essentially
- 30:29we have the app, which can power your assessment, but it might not be for everybody
- 30:34and that's understandable.
- 30:36We have the portal, which is
- 30:37a really cool sort of entry-level CMS for perhaps sort of new therapists,
- 30:43therapists who are trying to digitize files but don't want to wade through the
- 30:48sort of, the mess of all the CMSs that are available.
- 30:52Or maybe you are in a position where you don't want to shell out,
- 30:56you know, a load of cash on an expensive CMS if you don't need all the features.
- 31:00The platform that comes alongside SAFE, which is the web portal, is perfect for that.
- 31:06And then the transition naturally is into Orion once
- 31:09you get to the point where you need something a bit more comprehensive got you
- 31:12so with safe ai which incidentally for
- 31:15those this is the podcast is saiph.ai there is the ability there to add patients
- 31:21and appointments and all that sort of stuff as well so that may be something
- 31:25which you're paying for with another system which has got extra stuff you don't
- 31:29actually need so you're suggesting that this might kind of cover that and you've got it done here as well.
- 31:35Yeah. They're both nodding their head, at least at the podcast.
- 31:38They're both nodding their head in agreement.
- 31:39That's cool because it's important, isn't it? Because one of the problems out
- 31:42there is there's some great jumps in technology and there's systems out there.
- 31:46But before you know it, it's a bit like streaming, isn't it?
- 31:48You've got Amazon Prime, you've got Apple, you've got Netflix.
- 31:53And suddenly you're thinking, I've got four streaming services and Spotify.
- 31:56So I think it's really important that there is a bit more amalgamation between these.
- 32:00You're not paying for five monthly subscriptions, otherwise you're defeating
- 32:02the purpose, aren't you?
- 32:03So it's good to hear and i think as well just
- 32:06to touch on your yeah and it's the speech i think i think coming from
- 32:09that sorry we got a bit delayed there there was
- 32:12a minute to let you go first mark so rich you go rich um yeah
- 32:17just wanted to touch on your point about where ai
- 32:21could possibly fit into like other features and and
- 32:24well it could save time and i think one
- 32:27of the important things that we're trying to do is not just throw ai
- 32:30at every aspect of every sort
- 32:34of interaction that you have with your patient or your data
- 32:37or your management system because it's not
- 32:39always appropriate and i think there's certainly from
- 32:42a tech sort of side of things there's a
- 32:45tendency to jump straight to like an ai solution where it's
- 32:49not necessarily needed and you can end up having to
- 32:52increase the cost to like fund all these ai
- 32:55ai powered features when actually you don't really need it so
- 32:58we're kind of being a bit tactical as to where
- 33:01we actually apply the ai especially while people
- 33:04are still deciding whether or not they trusted in the first place and
- 33:08then following on from that we we can really dial in to see where the value
- 33:13is so it's not for us i guess it's not sort of like a one-time build and then
- 33:19it's out there and we'll wash our hands of it it's an ongoing process of refining it.
- 33:26Improving it, and really trying to add value with AI where it's actually needed
- 33:31rather than just trying to throw it in for more buzzwords.
- 33:35Makes sense. Sounds good. Yes. So, Marcus, you were going to say,
- 33:38or did Rich cover what you were going to say?
- 33:40Yeah, absolutely. He did. Yeah. I think, like I said, for me personally,
- 33:45when we started to test the product, the most impressive things for me were
- 33:50the automations and the data presentation.
- 33:53And then seeing that come to life in the CMS, especially where it's sort of blown up even more.
- 33:59That was the most impressive thing. And that doesn't actually involve any AI.
- 34:03That that's all done through the technology i think that
- 34:06was definitely something that we picked up on early on when we
- 34:09were sort of going through as you do linkedin and those
- 34:11kind of platforms where you put in the field to see what
- 34:14people's thoughts are with different kinds of technology and the
- 34:18resistance to ai within that was was was
- 34:21quite obvious but that allowed us to sort of pivot in different places
- 34:24where we needed to hey there
- 34:28matt phillips here sorry to interrupt up the podcast just 60
- 34:31seconds to remind you that if you're looking for beard grooming
- 34:34products there is a sports therapy association discount
- 34:38code that will get you 15% off at
- 34:41the brighton beard company website the brightonbeardcompany.co.uk
- 34:46yes i am biased what with brighton being my
- 34:49hometown but the brighton beard company really do
- 34:52offer an absolutely amazing selection of luxurious
- 34:55beard balms and impeccably scented oils

- 35:23entering the discount code.
- 35:27STA15 doesn't include already discounted bundles.
- 35:33I mean, I think a lot of clients, we've talked about this on the show before
- 35:36with various guests, there is, like it or not, depending on,
- 35:40regardless of what you as a therapist like,
- 35:44we are heading towards people measuring you, judging you by the cover.
- 35:50They are going to judge your business by the cover and the technology you're using.
- 35:54There's going to be a few who'd prefer it if they can still pay with cash,
- 35:57but most people these days have got a second to do chip put
- 36:01it against the the reader and walk off they don't want to be fumbling around
- 36:04or carrying cash in their pockets so it's a it's probably an
- 36:06important thing which is going to be part of marketing i imagine
- 36:09and this is something that could uh look good on the
- 36:12website and look good when first-time patients come through absolutely
- 36:16yeah i think i think that's that's the the thing but
- 36:19i do think that you know companies like ours and
- 36:22companies in this space have a responsibility
- 36:25ability to number one deliver products that
- 36:29are commercially viable and are going to support businesses
- 36:32as rich said in earlier on not just
- 36:35slapping ai onto something for the sake of it it's about
- 36:38can we actually make a difference can we actually support and and improve workflows
- 36:43and then within that it's about sort of sharing the message of what the ai is
- 36:49actually doing or what the technology is doing rather than sort of just steamrolling
- 36:54ahead with the technology and expecting people to fall into line, I suppose.
- 36:58Good point. Good point. Right. Questions coming in now. Thank you,
- 37:02Muscle Mechanics. This is something which definitely we want to address.
- 37:06Security and safety. So the question here is, where are the images stored, e.g. cloud or local?
- 37:11And is there a consent form we can use? Great question. Muscle.
- 37:16So I'll take the images question then. Yeah, so all the media is stored on the cloud.
- 37:22So any images that you take aren't stored on your phone.
- 37:25They're not stored locally on the portal or anything like that.
- 37:28They're all stored securely with Amazon Web Services, as is our database and
- 37:33all of our other infrastructure is stored securely on there.
- 37:37We've gone through a security check with Amazon themselves, and that's all been
- 37:42good. and addressing sort of like security upkeep is going to be an ongoing thing for our business.
- 37:48And in terms of the consent form, I think that's maybe one for Marcus,
- 37:52as you're probably more on across the clinical side of that.
- 37:55So with the SAIF platform, so the portal, you have the ability to insert SOAP
- 38:02notes, generate password protected reports, and all of your assessment notes.
- 38:06At the moment, there's not a feature consent forms. however as we've alluded
- 38:11to in the past especially with the Orion system when it arrives we are in the
- 38:15market to develop features that people need so if that's a feature that is something
- 38:20that people want to see then it's something that we can definitely look at.
- 38:24Yeah absolutely and I think as well like if it is something people want to see
- 38:28we can we can reach out and find out like what actually needs to be in the form
- 38:32itself like what content do you guys need and we can really try and like dial
- 38:36that in to be as relevant as possible or at least as flexible as possible so
- 38:40that it's useful for everyone.
- 38:43What have we got in terms of support then? I mean, if someone did want to call
- 38:45you up, something wasn't working, then what is there?
- 38:48Is there a number they can call or is it emails or what happens there?
- 38:51I think we've got support emails out.
- 38:54And also I think my phone number. Great.
- 39:01There you go. And do you have any problems yet with people not being able to
- 39:04get a hold of you or anything like that? No.
- 39:07Do you find people are using that number much or needing support?
- 39:12So far no no support needed very available
- 39:15anyone who does need support or if anyone just wants to talk through any any
- 39:20other features anymore or if there are any concerns like more than happy to
- 39:23give out again my email or contact details especially from the tech side i can't
- 39:28necessarily speak to everything clinical but if it's about the the tech side
- 39:32of things more than happy to.
- 39:33Jump on a call or jump on an email with anyone i
- 39:37think from a clinical point of view sort of especially on the implementation side
- 39:40the same goes really again i think
- 39:43for the newer therapies coming into the industry that
- 39:46are looking at this kind of thing and wondering where it might fit or
- 39:50even you know more established clinics that are transitioning perhaps
- 39:53to digital notes or transitioning away from technology
- 39:56to save cost where this might be a perfect fit that's definitely
- 39:59something i can assist with great good stuff
- 40:02is there much of a learning curve not i'm not going to ask you rich because
- 40:05obviously for you it's like there's no learning curve at all but marcus being
- 40:09a humbled sports therapist was there a learning curve to use the system
- 40:11at all for people a bit worried no absolutely not and
- 40:15that probably says on sales feature but
- 40:18no it would it's fairly straightforward to use i think once
- 40:21you've once you've been into the system once and it's talked you through those
- 40:25initial phases fairly straightforward and the web portal itself is is pretty
- 40:30it's all automated and self-explanatory so everything is there for you There's
- 40:35no sort of caveats to that or anything to figure out in that respect.
- 40:39Okay. And presumably, I know there's a Facebook group, isn't there,
- 40:42Physiogenius Technology?
- 40:44Is there like a group or something where people can hang out together using it and share ideas?
- 40:49So one of the things that I spoke to Rich about earlier on, it was sort of an
- 40:52idea we wanted to put forward really, is that after the podcast was finished,
- 40:55we were quite interested in setting up an SDA exclusive sort of group where
- 41:01we could share updates on the system.
- 41:03And if anybody wanted to join that group, they can actually reach out to us
- 41:06in the group and conversate with us and we can share feature updates, exclusives.
- 41:12But it also gives us a chance as well then to ask people about certain features
- 41:16and find out whether we need to dial certain things in or out.
- 41:19And that's something that we're interested in setting up if it's something that we can do.
- 41:25Interesting. And that reminds me of something we were talking before we came
- 41:28on air, where so far, even though it's called Physiogeny Tech,
- 41:31and I understand the reasoning for that,
- 41:34you've had a little bit better response, have you, from kind of non-allied health
- 41:38professionals so sports therapists and that, as opposed to physios?
- 41:42Yeah, I think so the Orion system, I would probably switch that because I suppose
- 41:47sort of your bigger physiotherapy organisations, there's a lot of sort of organisational
- 41:51management features in there.
- 41:52But definitely with SAFE, absolutely.
- 41:55I think more resistance from the physiotherapy world.
- 42:00I think you can see this if you go through LinkedIn and just have a look at
- 42:04sort of discussions around AI.
- 42:06There's a lot of opposition towards it.
- 42:09I think one thing I did pick up on is understanding around, again,
- 42:13what the AI is going to do is a big thing.
- 42:15But I actually think, again, that comes from the technology side and sort of
- 42:20dispelling the myths around the AI rather than, like I say, just putting it
- 42:25out there and seeing how it gets on, actually talking people through what it's trying to achieve.
- 42:30And I think also appeasing some of those thoughts of, is it going to replace people's jobs?
- 42:34Jobs i'm of the belief that we will always need from
- 42:37facing health care professionals from an
- 42:40empathy point of view i think definitely from
- 42:43that perspective i would always want somebody to
- 42:47talk me through the process but it
- 42:49doesn't mean that the ai doesn't help in certain
- 42:52ways if it can streamline certain processes but that
- 42:55was definitely a message that was difficult to get across to the physiotherapy
- 42:58world where a sports therapy seems to be far more receptive
- 43:01detective yeah no i'd agree with that i think
- 43:04it's one of the advances maybe we've talked again on the
- 43:07show quite a lot about regulation and and
- 43:10one of the advances i think of us not being regulated
- 43:14as an industry is we are a little bit freer to test
- 43:17things out ourselves and we've just got a bit more of an open mind we
- 43:20don't feel quite as pressed is the wrong word but
- 43:23just basically regulated by the governors that be in physiotherapy and
- 43:26that and we're worried that they're not acting towards the.
- 43:29Norms so yeah it's interesting there should be a quite a good response
- 43:32i think i can understand why there's a bit of response from sports therapists
- 43:35question here from nikki mansfield this
- 43:37is something we kind of mentioned off there as well as we were having a little chat beforehand
- 43:40on the flexibility side are you planning to create integrations with existing
- 43:44cms's say just for the assessment tool can i take this absolutely yeah i would
- 43:50say on that one nikki no and the reason i'd say that is because we plan or we
- 43:55believe and certainly from my experience that the Orion CMS will be.
- 44:01Will be a standalone product that will be at the top of the industry in terms
- 44:04of its functionality because we haven't seen anything that does quite what it does yet.
- 44:09I'm really excited to show that product when it's ready.
- 44:12So we don't necessarily feel the need to integrate with other systems for the
- 44:16app. We're quite happy that it integrates internally with Orion.
- 44:20Obviously, if you wanted to integrate on a very simple level,
- 44:25you could generate reports that drag across into your Clinico system or Nucle,
- 44:30or whoever it might be but yeah we're planning on sort of
- 44:33internal integration only the question
- 44:35feel free for a follow-up there nikki if you so wish
- 44:38uh gary's brought up something i was thinking of actually a lot
- 44:41of people experienced the collapse is probably not too emotive word but yeah
- 44:47the collapse of sif recently and it was i mean it was rescued by tim allardyce
- 44:54but it was We're still in the process of it being a startup with a lot of people getting excited by it.
- 44:59And Gary just says, this has actually come from a messenger from a member who
- 45:03wants to rename Anonymous.
- 45:05And they say, the great thing about startups is the ability to roll with feedback
- 45:09and change functionality.
- 45:10Recently, we had SIF, who, despite major investment in their product,
- 45:13left lots of therapists without access to clinical data, client notes,
- 45:16test results, et cetera.
- 45:17The product was rescued by an existing service provider.
- 45:20Good old Tim. What guarantee do potential users have that their data will always
- 45:24be accessible? Is it ICO compliant and GDPR compliant?
- 45:28There we go. Quite a big one there.
- 45:31Yes, it's a very valid concern. Yes, so we're GDPR compliant and we have processes
- 45:38in place that allow us to provide full user and patient data if it's requested.
- 45:44In some cases, it might take us a little bit of time as it currently stands.
- 45:49But yeah, the processes are in place that you can request all of your data and
- 45:53we'll be able to provide it,
- 45:55Yeah, hopefully that addresses the question. I don't see any reason why we would
- 46:01leave people without access, regardless of whatever happens.
- 46:05If it's data that we store, then it should be data that we are able to give you.
- 46:10Yeah, I think that's one of the, I mean, it depends what you read,
- 46:14but I think one of the problems with CIF was it was handed over and the way
- 46:18it was put together was, no one can get in there.
- 46:21It was put together with code and stuff, you'll understand much better than
- 46:24I, Rich, and just people who took it over couldn't get in there.
- 46:26They couldn't change things.
- 46:27They couldn't work out what was going on. So it was a complication within there.
- 46:31So if, yeah, is that possible? I mean, it sounds like, I think SIF was a lot
- 46:35more complicated with all the things that offered than this,
- 46:37but is it something which could potentially happen?
- 46:40I think there's processes before that, isn't there, that we've taken to sort of prevent that?
- 46:46Yeah. And I mean, if it's a case of it being handed off to like other developers
- 46:52or other development teams,
- 46:53i think part of the job of being a
- 46:57software developer especially like in in my position in
- 46:59the startup is i mean we're not
- 47:02planning on handing it over to anyone but other software
- 47:07developers even for things like integrations are as much a customer for me as
- 47:12the practitioners themselves so nothing i build should hamper someone's attempts
- 47:19to get their own data and And the tools and processes should always be in place
- 47:23to allow that to happen, whatever the situation.
- 47:26Like if someone comes to our business, Marcus should be able to return the data
- 47:30just as much as I should be able to do that.
- 47:33Good answer. Good stuff. Nicky has just come back saying, I look forward to
- 47:37seeing the Orion demo then.
- 47:39How's that going to work then? Is there going to be advantage for customers
- 47:43who are already using SAFe when Orion does come out?
- 47:48It's part of the roadmap to figure that part out. Yes, is the short answer.
- 47:52Just on the demo side of things, I'll point out we are keen and quite happy
- 47:57to actually show demos to anybody that wants to see it.
- 48:01So perhaps I could give my email.
- 48:04If people wanted to see the Orion as it is now, I'd happily jump on a Google
- 48:09Meet and go through it and show you what it does and take some feedback.
- 48:13Again, because we build all the technology in-house ourselves,
- 48:16we're really flexible in that. So if there's anything that people really scream
- 48:20at us that needs to change, then we'll absolutely be happy to facilitate.
- 48:25Fantastic. There we go. We'll make sure that goes into the notes so people can
- 48:29contact you if they're interested in that.
- 48:31So what else should we say about? We've got another five, six minutes or so.
- 48:37AI, we've talked about in the first episode that people are worried about AI
- 48:41replacing the therapist.
- 48:43We've commented that obviously there's a lot in humans, very complex.
- 48:48There's a lot of interaction with AI at the moment.
- 48:50One day it might have, but at the moment it hasn't got that sensitivity.
- 48:53It can't replace that listening, that empathy.
- 48:56And if it does come back with a response, then like Joe pointed out last week,
- 49:02how are you going to feel as a patient if you have pulled your heart out and
- 49:06then the machine kind of goes,
- 49:07were click click here's your solution it's like have you
- 49:09had a human listen to you do you feel like you've been listened to
- 49:12by a machine however great it looks so
- 49:15that's hopefully that is something which as humans we would
- 49:18miss because otherwise it's painting a pretty whole picture of health
- 49:21care but you've painted tonight a picture where there
- 49:24are definitely ways where we don't want to be manually trying to
- 49:27drag a line and we just want ai to be able to use its
- 49:29amazing resources to be able to cut time down
- 49:32and save us time and therefore give us a
- 49:35more prosperous business what do you see let's
- 49:38imagine ai doesn't suddenly develop and replaces us completely that's a
- 49:41bleak thought what do you see the future of healthcare as and
- 49:44how do you see kind of like yourselves maybe fitting into it
- 49:47i think one of the things i'm sure rich will agree with these i don't think
- 49:50ai can replace us because ai is very dependent on the data that we give you
- 49:55so you still need the the data to be able to train the ai i think also there
- 50:02are certain things again Again, as you touched on that,
- 50:04they're essential for clinicians, the empathy,
- 50:07the ability to listen, the flexibility that comes with that.
- 50:12And I don't think it's not a case of can those things be replicated?
- 50:16Maybe they can, but would we want them to, as you said?
- 50:19I think especially when you look at AI in healthcare as a whole.
- 50:26It seems the fear is that it's going to be this sort of autonomous thing that
- 50:31comes through and just takes over everything.
- 50:33And the reality is I don't think you can ever do that because there are certain
- 50:37elements where the human contact is not just important, it's essential, it's a necessity.
- 50:43So I don't see a world where AI takes over.
- 50:47I see a world where if we're smart with AI, we can streamline.
- 50:52But that can turn your focus to other elements.
- 50:55For example, if you can save 20 minutes of your assessment and admin time,
- 50:58you might be able to see another client, go to the gym, spend a bit more time
- 51:04with the kids. You know, all these things start to spiral.
- 51:07Again, I'll go back to the same point. I think it's down to companies like ours
- 51:11and other companies to really sort of hone in on that and dial in on what people
- 51:15need, not just here's some AI.
- 51:18Let's see how it works. I think being responsible with it is probably the overall
- 51:22sort of thought process we need to go through.
- 51:26That's really interesting. It's nice to hear that because, again,
- 51:28it touches on what Joe brought up last week.
- 51:30It's nice to hear that we're going to use AI not just to be more productive
- 51:34in our business and be able to make more money.
- 51:36It's going to give us some time to look after ourselves when we're not working.
- 51:40Like you said, go to the gym, look after ourselves, spend time with the family.
- 51:43That should kind of be our goal because that's a human need as well, isn't it?
- 51:47We're not machines you know we're not ai we do need
- 51:50that time relationships you know to look after ourselves
- 51:53as well as our clients sorry if i interrupted what
- 51:56you say no no so i guess i was just
- 51:58going to say like on that from the tech side of tech side of the argument it's
- 52:02like i i could i could see in in the wider healthcare sector there being not
- 52:10a requirement but there might be like a patient desire for a service which is
- 52:14end-to-end automated for some things right because,
- 52:17there are a lot of people that might be too embarrassed to go to a doctor about
- 52:20certain things and knowing that they don't have to interact with another human might actually.
- 52:26Be something that they they would prefer in certain
- 52:29instances like i could see that but i don't i
- 52:32don't personally at the moment see how it would be possible to
- 52:35completely take the human element out of out of
- 52:38the field and i don't actually think
- 52:41that there are a lot of tech businesses
- 52:44or software developers that would want to i can't
- 52:48speak for everyone but certainly from my side of things the
- 52:51the excitement i get from this is knowing that i'm making someone's life
- 52:54better i'm not replacing them i'm building something
- 52:57with marcus to make their clinic even better and to help their patient more
- 53:02and to free up their time and basically try and be a force multiplier and that
- 53:09to me is considerably more exciting than the idea of just trying to like replace someone's job like,
- 53:16does that make sense i don't know totally yeah that's really nice yeah it's
- 53:20really it's really Really good to hear. Yeah, definitely. Awesome.
- 53:23Great. Well, look, people, it's 8.56.
- 53:28I think we've covered this. I'm just going to bring it up because it's Cecily,
- 53:30and I like Cecily. Cecily says, what are the chances of the data collected being
- 53:33distorted or corrupted?
- 53:34Is it relying on our or its own input?
- 53:38That's an easy answer. Yeah, go on. Do I take this one, or should I?
- 53:42I'm just wondering, is that in the context of the data collected to train the
- 53:47AI, or is that the data collected in clinic?
- 53:50You have to come back, Cicely. I'm just, yeah, because if it's the data for
- 53:54the AI, it's completely dependent on the quality of the data to build the AI.
- 53:59But I'm just wondering if that's the clinical data being corrupted,
- 54:02what sort of do we mean by the corruption element?
- 54:05Yeah, I'm not sure if she's talking about the data we're collecting being inaccurate.
- 54:10I'm not sure if corrupted.
- 54:12Right, I interpret it as accuracy, but I could be wrong.
- 54:17It's data collected in clinics, sorry. Yeah, I think it's to do with accuracy.
- 54:21What happens if I'm doing this assessment and then suddenly the result's being wrong?
- 54:25Right, got you. Yeah, so you run your assessment, you come to your portal,
- 54:29and it's not what you – yeah, Rich, you're probably better on that one then. Okay, sure.
- 54:34Yeah, so on that, you have the final say in the data.
- 54:37So you could run your AI-powered shoulder assessment using our beta service
- 54:42and disagree with some of the results. You can edit them.
- 54:46That will, again, pull through to your portal. So we try to make it as streamlined
- 54:51as possible and as nice as possible,
- 54:53but you still have the power to edit your data
- 54:56as you see fit you have the final say and that's
- 54:59healthy as well i think you know what i don't know i can't remember
- 55:01what i used the other day but i used some ai to transcribe i think it was on
- 55:05samson s23 thinking oh wow look that was a voice message and you want to transcribe
- 55:10your voice message now and it wasn't worth doing it was just ridiculous it was
- 55:13hopeless that's galaxy s23 kind of thing you would have thought but it was just
- 55:17embarrassing if i ever said that and it was collected for a client if i
- 55:21just sent that to there without i mean sometimes you need to have a little glass
- 55:25and change a few things but it was just like no don't even bother starting to
- 55:27try it it was rubbish so yeah we're still you know it was terrible i think this
- 55:31comes back to the chat gpt thing though it's like you can use chat gpt really
- 55:36well to do certain things but if you use it to do the whole.
- 55:41Task you might run into issues like if you don't check it if you don't if you
- 55:45don't use it pragmatically it's probably not going to be effective but it can
- 55:49help you sort of things he's sort of dialling that in I suppose I think so but I think,
- 55:54When it comes to, I mean, we know research and everything, and it shows it's
- 55:58the relationships, the personal relationship with the patient.
- 56:01And one thing chat GBT does is it just doesn't, it changes you.
- 56:07You're no longer writing in your style. The patient's going to get to know you.
- 56:10As soon as you go to chat GBT and it's starting using these,
- 56:13I don't even think they're very eloquent, but it's definitely using these flamboyant
- 56:16words, which you wouldn't use. And you're not going to use when the patient comes to your door.
- 56:20To the extent that when they sit down with you and listen to you for five minutes, thinking you're
- 56:24not the one who's sending that letter are you that was chat gpt and it
- 56:27is to me it's that obvious you know and i think that is that
- 56:30is a bit of a if you're writing a piece maybe a
- 56:33blog even a blog for a website and everything is in
- 56:36that chat gpt then they're not going to know it's you
- 56:39when they meet you or if you ask one day to stand up and
- 56:41present you start talking and you're not using all of this wonderful eloquent
- 56:45kind of like language features then they're just going
- 56:48to go it's not your website is it you just got chat gpt so
- 56:51i think there's limitations with it oh fortunately and as
- 56:54for drawing the human hand that's just still a way it can't
- 56:58seem to draw human anatomy yet either which is hilarious and longer
- 57:01it may be that way right it's nine o'clock people
- 57:04thank you so much for the great questions last thing
- 57:07just to make sure if people are interested then richard mcspade in
- 57:10signing up for the seven day free trial to
- 57:14have a look what it's about then just go to the website i
- 57:16imagine is that it physio genie.com absolutely the links
- 57:19through there and yeah you can cancel at any
- 57:22time and then if the feedback as we've heard today from richard marcus is the
- 57:26feedback is as a therapist you really haven't had time to assess it all in those
- 57:30seven days and i guess they drop you an email and send that feedback back to
- 57:34you yeah absolutely yeah we're really flexible yeah fantastic sounds really
- 57:39good sounds sounds be interesting to see.

- 57:55So thank you very much. Cecily has said, thank you, gents. Thank you.
- 58:01Gary says, thank you, gents. An interesting view of AI. Yeah, very insightful.
