Maybe there's a video camera on you so that you're actually being watched 100% of the time. So there's probably some way to take a hospital bed stay which is super expensive and compress it by 80 or 90% and somebody could still make a nice profit having a clean room in their house, a hospital room. Now of course it's only for very specific situations, right? Not for every situation, but some. So you can see how many opportunities there are for this to improve in a substantial way.
