AI-powered T-shirt could save lives by detecting heart problems early

0:00You're listening to the Hidden Lightness on America Out Loud Talk Radio. I'm your host Jimmy Hinton. Are you ready for more good news? Well here it is. Hot off the press. There are AI t-shirts that have been created that could detect hidden heart risks. This is absolutely fascinating and this is what I'm talking about folks. I love when people take artificial intelligence and they use it for good. We know that people use technology for good and bad. We know that people are using artificial intelligence for evil. There's definitely a trend I have spoken to this before about child sexual abuse and creating CSAM, child sex abuse material using innocent children that has increased dramatically

1:09since artificial intelligence has been taken off. I pray that we have laws that continue to keep up with that and the scumbags who create that kind of garbage spend a long, long time in prison. There's absolutely zero tolerance for it and neither should there be. But on the flip side of that, we're going to talk about the good uses of artificial intelligence and this is a story that definitely is close to home as I lost a brother to a massive heart attack at the age of 42, 11 years, almost 11 years ago. In May, on May 22nd, it'll be 11 years since my brother, my oldest brother, Mike passed away and this tragedy hits many, many, many, many families every single year. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in America.

2:11Has been for a very long time and quite frankly, our technology for detecting it has not been that great. I remember going in, all five of us remaining brothers, us living brothers, we went in for different kinds of tests, we got blood work, we got a calcium CT, a calcium CT scan of the heart and all of these things are time consuming and quite honestly, they don't detect a whole lot and 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. And that was the problem with my brother, I remember, I remember my brother when he was probably,

3:13I don't know, I want to stay probably just barely into college, I remember him wearing a heart monitor, he had to wear one of those big clunky monitors and he had all 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, what was going on with the heart and I don't really remember because I was pretty young yet, but I think I remember them just kind of chalking it up to not really much to see here, you know, there's a couple rhythm issues going on with the heart but nothing that was alarming, nothing that really put him on the radar of high risk and so it was one of those things, let's just monitor the vertigo and if it gets worse, we'll do something about it.

4:16Well fast forward to 2015, my brother had been working out the night before with his 15 year old son, my nephew and he started to feel sick, he thought it was just nausea, like maybe he ate something that was bad or was catching a stomach virus and he said, I'm just going to lay on the couch for a little bit, kind of try to sleep this off. 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, obviously very, very traumatic experience. My sister-in-law was not home at the time, my nephew's younger brother and sister were both home at the time of my brother's death and you can imagine how traumatizing that

5:20was for them and still is to this day. It was heartbreaking, it was very sad and extremely traumatic, extremely traumatic for my nephew's, my niece, my sister-in-law and there have been a lot of hard years ever since, I'm just going to be honest, it's nobody wants to raise children in a single parent home, it's tough. No kid ever expects to suddenly lose a parent and yet it happens every single day here in America. And I recently did a show on the AEDs and that there's a city in Texas who is making sure that there's an AED within four minutes of any cardiac event and it's revolutionizing

6:26their city, it really is. They've already saved dozens of lives and no doubt they'll save many, many, many more and AEDs are an essential tool, essential. And I often think about this, if there's one that was within reach of my brother, there's a much better chance that he'd be here with us today. So I'm all four, I'm 100% four having these tools at our disposal. They're not that expensive, AEDs are a few hundred dollars, they're really not that expensive and they do save lives, they save lives all the time. And if you have ever seen an AED used, they're automated, they're completely automated, you just put the sticky pads on and you turn it on and the thing is completely automated,

7:30it has a voice, a computer voice that talks to the people administering care and it kind of talks you through what to do and whether a shock is needed or not, whether you need to give breaths or not, it's very, very, very good. And so now we find out, this was just published a few days ago, there's an AI company that produced an AIT shirt that can detect hidden risks. 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. I'll read a little bit from this article, this is a Fox News article, it's a business news article. It says your next heart test might not happen in a hospital, it could start with something

8:34you pool from your dresser. Researchers at Imperial College London are developing an artificial intelligence powered t-shirt that monitors the heart for days at a time, the mission is straightforward. Detect inherited heart rhythm disorders that often remain hidden until it's too late. These conditions can sit quietly for years, they strike without warning. That unpredictability is what makes them so dangerous. As I mentioned, my family is a case in point, as my brother had an inherited heart disease that nobody detected, no doctor had ever detected it, wearing a heart monitor didn't detect it. He spent years going to doctors and routine visits, routine checkups, being physically fit, physically active, he was lifting weights, he was not overweight, physically.

9:41He looked like he was in good physical condition and by all measurements, he really was. He ate decent, he exercised, he was lifting weights, I don't lift weights for crying out loud. You know, I don't exercise nearly as often as I should, certainly don't lift weights, but my brother was religious about lifting weights. He liked it, he liked working out, he liked looking and feeling physically fit, and that's one of those cruel ironies about heart disease. You can look very, very in shape, you can look like you're fit, but if you have an underlying heart disease and it goes undetected, it is a silent killer and it's absolutely tragic.

10:42Here's an article from the American Heart Association, this is a very, very recent report and the title of this is heart disease, stroke deaths down, yet still kill more in the U.S. than any other cause. Heart disease and stroke remain at the top of the list of leading causes of death in the United States. According to the American Heart Association's 2026, heart disease and stroke statistics update. So here are some of the highlights according to the American Heart Association's 2026 heart disease and stroke statistics update. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, and stroke has moved up to the number four spot. Together heart disease and stroke accounted for more than a quarter of all deaths in the U.S. in 2023. The most recent year for which data is available. Cardiovascular diseases, including all types of heart disease and stroke, claim more

11:43lives in the U.S. each year than all forms of cancer and accidental deaths. The number two and number three causes of death combined. So that's alarming to me. That's incredibly, incredibly alarming. I wouldn't have guessed that, to be honest. I knew that cardiovascular diseases is the number one cause of death, but I didn't know that it swallows the number of victims who die from cancer and cancer and what was it accidental deaths. There are more deaths just from heart disease. There are more. Claims more lives in the U.S. than all forms of cancer, all forms of cancer, and accidental deaths. Those are number two and number three combined.

12:44That's frightening folks. The article goes on following a five year upward trend likely impacted by the COVID pandemic. The number of heart disease and stroke deaths has declined yet. Heart disease and stroke. We'll kill more people in the U.S. each year than any other cause. According to data reported in 2026, heart disease and stroke statistics are report of U.S. and global data from the American Heart Association. Together, heart disease, which is 22% that accounts for 22% of U.S. deaths, heart disease, and stroke, which account for 5.3% of U.S. deaths. They replace COVID as the fourth leading cause of death, which accounted for more than a quarter of all deaths in the U.S. in 2023. That's the latest year for which data is available.

13:46The annual updated published statistics, which is a peer-reviewed flagship journal of the American Heart Association, gives very sobering statistics. The overall deaths from heart disease and stroke continue to decline with fewer total deaths and modest improvements in the age-adjusted death rate. The age-adjusted death rate is a way to compare death rates, fairly by removing the effect of different age structures and populations. But in 2023, there were 915,973 total deaths from cardiovascular disease, just under a million. I mean, that's unacceptable. That's terrifying, especially for people like me and many, many of you who know that

14:54you have a genetic component here, one that is largely outside of our control. I say largely, it's not completely outside of our control, but there is a genetic component that's very difficult to detect and very difficult for us to manage, especially if we don't know that there are signs there. So that's where I think these days, I sure, it's really, really, really are promising. I mean, incredibly promising. These symptoms are basically nonexistent, even when you're responsible, and that's one of the things that one of my brothers talks about with all of the rest of us brothers. He said, 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 in some of my other brothers, but he said

15:58even if you're incredibly proactive, we would be an IEVE to think that we're immune. Just because we go to the doctor doesn't mean that they're going to catch everything that all these underlying symptoms, and he's absolutely right. That's where this shirt comes in. It can do what your doctor, even your heart specialist, can't do. You know, humans can't possibly outpace technology, not like this. And this is very, very promising, and my goodness, I'll read a little bit more about what all this means, what it implies, how it works, things like that, but I am absolutely infatuated with this. And my goodness, it makes me want to run and get one, and I'm going to be honest. It's incredible.

A new AI shirt, artificial intelligence, it has 50 sensors on it, is being tested as we speak. And this is not going to replace cardiologist, but it is, however, going to give them a very long, clear view of how the heart behaves in daily life. This is so promising to me, and we're looking at five years from now possibly where this thing could actually hit the market. It's got to go through a long period of trials and peer review trials, and that's underway right now, but it's still promising.

20:00And I was looking at how fast technology is taken off. Just over the break, I was looking back at some pictures, just out of curiosity, because in my photos app, it labels, we all have every picture that's taken has data stamped on it. And I was kind of curious. I was like, you know, my brother died May 22, 2015. And what was the technology like back then? Because we kind of take it for granted, right? We're so immersed in AI now that I was making fun of my wife yesterday jokingly, her and my daughter. They were talking about googling things, and they're like, we're, we're going to Google that. I was like, nobody uses Google anymore. Like ask Gemini or ask chat GPT, you know, nobody Googles things anymore.

21:03Google is such a dinosaur. And then we got into this big discussion about technology and how 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 going to use Google. I'm like, well, you think that, but it's, it's not going to be around for much longer. I mean, it is a dinosaur. AI is integrated into everything. And that's just, that's just the way it is. You're going to get a lot more detailed answers. You're going to get answers that it's just absolutely crazy what AI is going to do for you. And what it already can, nobody's going to sit there and type in a Google search. You know, so anyway, it's, it's really fascinating to see how quickly technology is changing. And it really is AI is being used to, to track fugitives like never before, you know, it's

22:14kind of scary. But, you know, for those of us who like our freedoms, but my goodness, getting pretty hard to keep up with it. And I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything like that. But it is a little bit scary that AI is so stinking, accurate, so fast, so smart. And it's integrated into everything, including cameras. You look at the technology for, I don't know, you've seen this, but for how the Israelis were able to find Iran's supreme leader, they took him out on day one, day one, what 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 its facial recognition and look at the accuracy.

23:19Literally, on day one, probably the first bomb that they dropped, they wiped out the Ayatollah, the supreme leader of Iran. That's incredible. You know, to have that kind of intel and that kind of accuracy, it's absolutely stunning. And so that's kind of where we're headed. But, you know, anyway, over the break, I was looking back through pictures. And in 2015, I was still using a point and shoot. Now I had started using a cell phone, but I'm looking at the pictures from 2015 and they're grainy. They don't look great. They look okay, but the ones that were shot on a cell phone, they're kind of grainy. And then I have other pictures that says uploaded from an Android device. In other words, apparently I had a phone or, I don't really remember, I had a phone or

24:19some kind of other, some kind of an Android device that I was uploading my photos onto the desktop computer and then into my photos app. Yeah, that was 11 years ago. Look at where we're at now. Everybody has a cell phone. The quality is absolutely top notch. AI is integrated into your photo and video editing software. You don't need an external microphone anymore, because AI is integrated into fixing all the sound. And it's absolutely incredible. Color correction, your sound correction, all of that is integrated right into your phone into the palm of your hand. And it's really interesting. A lot of places that develop pictures, if you still actually do that, sometimes

25:20pictures taken on a cell phone get flagged, and the machinery thinks that it's a professional photographer. And anything is shot by a professional photographer, if you want to get it printed, you have to have all the copyright information and stuff like that, because they don't want people stealing work from professional photographers. Well, I think professional photographers, I hate to say it, but my prediction is there going to be a dinosaur. There are going to be one of the jobs that's pushed out by AI, because the pictures now are so stinking good and so professional. I mean, that's just in the last two years, not even. So it's really incredible when you see it, how quickly technology is advancing. It's what we're talking about now. What we're talking about with these T-shirts and the monitoring, I think in five years we're going to look back and be like, my goodness, was that a dinosaur.

26:23Cool idea, great stepping stone, but boy, it was that a dinosaur. 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. Another detection, we're still not doing a great job at cancer detection. One of the ones that's definitely on the rise, I mean, 100% on the rise, is colon cancer, especially among young people, which if it's caught early, it's incredibly treatable, very curable. But if caught late, it's one of the hardest cancers to get rid of. And there are a lot of young people who are getting colon cancer and dying of colon cancer. It's just one of those things where the screening is, it's a terrible process, it's nobody

27:29wants to hate to say it, hate to be crude, but nobody wants a colonoscopy. And so the process to actually try to detect it is really cumbersome. That's all changing. Now, 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 stool sample, you probably don't even need the full stool and AI will be able to immediately detect any chance of cancer. It's really incredible. So it's getting better and better and better and better, and that's good for humanity. It's not just good for the American people, that's good for humanity. There are so many silent killers, and I don't know about you, but I've seen a lot of

28:33heartache in my life. I've seen a lot of young parents who leave kids, even kids who die of diseases that should have been detectable, but we just didn't have the technology. Now, it's really, really incredible to see how people are using artificial intelligence to be able to detect things super early. I mentioned this before, I believe probably a couple months ago, I had a weird tongue thing going on, like a really weird and I still, like it affects my speech, and it's just one of those annoying things, it's benign, it's completely benign, but I have these really scary markings on my tongue, and I had no clue what it was, and I panicked, and it used

29:38to be you had to research and do your Google search, and then Mayo Clinic would come up and it would have 15,000 different things that it could be, and you had to weed through all that stuff, and you still were wrong 99% of the time, well now I simply took a picture of my tongue, uploaded it into my AI app, and within seconds, it identified what the most likely thing was, and it was right, I went to the dentist, and I specifically asked them and wanted the doctor to check me out, and right away he said, oh, that's classic case of geographic tongue, and that's no problem, perfectly benign, might go away, it might not, but he's like, it's perfectly fine, nothing to worry about, I'm like, okay doctor, so I needed to hear, so AI is not replacing doctors, but it is making life so much better

30:45for people, and that's good news, so the shirts are detecting things that heart tests miss all the time, you know an electrocardiogram misses things, like I said, it's only a snapshot, but that's where extended monitoring through the shirt, it changes everything, it changes all of that, doctors can review days or even weeks of heart rhythm data, they get context AI is able to detect things that humans can't detect, just because it's so efficient, it will be able to find subtle irregularities, those become visible, patterns begin to emerge, and this combination according to this article, the project combines medical science with

31:46wearable design, the shirt uses soft sportswear style fabric with up to 50 ECG style sensors woven into the material, you can wear it under everyday clothing, you can sleep in it, you can wash it and put it back on, and instead of collecting a quick reading, the shirt records continuous electrical signals from your heart, artificial intelligence then analyzes that data for patterns linked to inherited conditions such as Brugatis syndrome, it has funding from the British Heart Foundation, and researchers are training the algorithm using ECG data from more than 1,000 individuals, some of the participants live with inherited heart rhythm disorders, others don't, and so that mix is really essential so that the

32:49system can distinguish between healthy variations and signals that suggest elevated risk. This is key, this is pivotal, this is life changing, this is game changing, yeah I have a brother who he really stays on top of AI, in fact he was a programmer for AI for some time, and he said you know we're getting to the point where the life expectancy is going to skyrocket, and he didn't say that is a hypothetical thing, I guess in the AI community that's just kind of known fact, I didn't know this, you know I have to admit I was unaware of that, so that was really interesting to me, that was definitely groundbreaking for me, and I was like whoa wait what, 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

33:56to be able to cure them, it's figuring out through algorithms, it's figuring out what medicines work, and instead of experimenting and you know doctors, if you ever notice doctors a lot of the times they're like well we'll try this and see if that works, you know it's it's a lot science, and a lot art, and when you have the human factor, factored into that, a lot of that is you know the art aspect of well let's try, you know let's I think of you know the mad scientists that they're like let's try a little bit of this and a little bit of that, now I know it's a lot more complex than that and they're not just guessing, but what artificial intelligence does is it actually maximizes every single medication that reacts with every other medication known on planet earth, and it's figuring out

34:58formulas that the humans just can't do, at least not efficiently, not quickly, and I think that's where it's really promising, and so not only is AI being used for that, but it's being integrated into robotics, and think of some of the surgeries, think of how many botched surgeries we have in any given year, I want you to listen to some of these statistics for example, medical malpractice is very severe in the United States, I mean it's not just bad, it's really bad, with preventable errors causing over 250,000 deaths annually, making it a leading cause of death, that's frightening, and that's what happens when you have the human factor, and it's just it's a reality, it is what it is, now I'm not making a judgment,

36:00I'm not saying that these are due to bad doctors, it's just unfortunately, when you have the human factor, things are going to go wrong, and it's very, very common, 17,000 to 20,000 lawsuits are filed every single year, and that represents only about 1% of actual errors, so there is a significant under litigation, I mean that's that ought to frighten all of us, so this is going to get better, integrating AI into robotics is that's going to be a game changer for surgery, game changer, we're coming up on another break here, we'll talk more about this after the break, but in the meantime, all of our shows do go to podcasts the next day after the broadcast is heard on talk radio, you can hear them on your favorite podcast app, be sure to check out the America out loud app, it is absolutely fantastic, love,

39:17Game changer, that's what it is, game changer, artificial intelligence is an absolute game changer in the medical field and this is here folks, it's here to stay and we can't put the genie back into the bottle, I mean it's it's been here, it's AI is integrated into everything, it's integrated into your email, it's integrated into your web browser, it's literally everywhere, into your phone, into your cameras, on your phone, into your audio software, it's integrated into everything and you can't put the genie back in the bottle and we can bemoan that, we can complain about it, we can say how we're going to we're going to go omish and not have anything to do with technology but the genie is out of the bottle and we can't put it back in. And so the question is how are we going to use it?

40:17Not not we individually today, I'm talking about how we as a society, how are we going to use it? You know, there is an absolute race to see who can who can reach the top the quickest and that's not all a bad thing. Yeah, I was talking right before the break about medical malpractice in the United States, it's one of the leading causes of death, one of the very, very top leading causes of death, 250,000 deaths happen annually because of medical malpractice and that's things like wrong prescriptions, botched surgeries, those sorts of things, it's very common, very, very common. A quarter of a million people every single year, they die because of medical malpractice, approximately 99%

41:22of physicians face a lawsuit by age 65, 99%. I can't wrap my mind around this 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 and I've never talked to him about this before but my guess is that if I talk to him and said, hey, are you ever scared about a lawsuit? He may have already had a lawsuit filed against him. You know, if 99% by the age of 65, 99% of physicians face a lawsuit, my guess is, it's probably a pretty good chance. There was some kind of a lawsuit that was filed at some point. And it's frightening. It's frightening for the patients, it's frightening for the doctors,

42:23it'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. It's the element of surprise because you never know what could happen at any given minute. How many times have we heard from family members and they're like, I don't know what happened, my family member was fine one minute and then next thing, they're gone. You know, this happens every single day and you know, it's heartbreaking, it's tough, it's complicated. Our medical practice is very, very complicated. You know, like I said before the break, it's part science, part art, part common sense, part medical training and if any of those fail at any point, it's a recipe for disaster.

43:26So enter artificial intelligence, not that it can take over doctors, it will never take over physical doctors. But to be able to have a helper, to be able to have an extra set of eyes, hands, you know, think about surgeries, look at what robotics are already doing in surgery, look at laser surgeries, at how incredibly accurate they are, spectacularly accurate. I think that's still promising. And when I saw the story about the artificial intelligence t-shirt that will effectively, and I say will because it will, this isn't hypothetical, it's not speculative, it will. We already know what AI is capable of. We already know what doctors are capable of. We have a lot of brilliant minds and you put those together,

44:27you 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. It's incredible. So they're around 200 volunteers that are going to wear the shirt for up to three months, researchers will evaluate how effectively it detects abnormal rhythms outside of a hospital environment. I mean, no more is there going to be just a snapshot. It's going to be a real it's like watching live TV, it's like a live video. 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. I want to know their age, their weight, their height, their body fat, their job, their medical background. I want all of it

45:27just by looking at that photograph of them. You can't do it. It's literally an impossibility. Whereas if somebody hands you hours and 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. Tell me what the person likes are. Tell me what their personality is. Tell me about that person to the best of your ability. You're going to get a lot better picture. And so it's really an analog for what's happening with the artificial intelligence world. The world of AI is changing the world as we know it. I mean, dramatically. So people with inherited heart conditions that typically runs very silently

46:32for generations. Millions of people live with heart disorders in the United States right now. I could be one of them. I probably am. We have a history. We have a genetic history of heart disease and our family. My grandfather had a massive heart attack at the age of 42. It skipped my father and then my brother at the same age. The age of 42 had a massive heart attack and died. There is a genetic component. We know this. We know this because of testing. But what we don't know, it's all the unknowns and the unknowns are what's scary. What we don't know is how each one of us in the family is affected. We have no idea.

47:32I have a brother who I put him in the category almost of being obsessed with testing. He gets routine blood work. He gets CT scans. The cardiac scans on and on and on. He's constantly getting tested. He's constantly seeing doctors. He's very religious about getting routine checkups. And I commend him for it. I'm not picking on him whatsoever. I wish that I saw doctors often as he did. I don't think I've been to a doctor for at least a decade. And I'm not bragging here. I'm not proud of that. Most of us are looking for a couple of different things. One is convenience. We're looking for

48:34right? I don't like, I'll be honest. I don't like going to the doctor. I've been there many times in my life. It's just not one of my favorite things to do. I've never walked out of there. I was like, man, that was just the most awesome thing that I ever, the best use of my time. I just don't feel that way. It's nothing against doctors. I have literally nothing against doctors. I said, I have a brother who's a doctor. He's a very good doctor. I have nothing against doctors. But it's that convenience factor. It's always an inconvenience. You're never brought back in time. It's just it's such a hassle. I don't like it. I don't enjoy it. There's nothing enjoyable about going to a doctor. There's the other part, the other thing that we're looking for is accuracy and competency.

49:42Maybe part of why I don't love going to the doctor is not that I've had bad experiences. I've never had a bad experience. I've definitely had things where doctors shrugged off things that I didn't think should have been shrugged off. That doesn't sit well with me. I'd rather a doctor be a little bit more cautious than just shrug me off and be like, yeah, whatever. You'll be fine. It's really challenging to find a doctor who has that good balance, where they order enough tests that they're not running you into bankruptcy, because I've seen doctors do that, where they run 50 good Julian tests. You're like, I literally just came in with a cough. Well, we're going to test you for bronchitis and we're going to test you for pneumonia. We're going to, while we're in here, we'll test you for stroke. It's like,

50:44wait a second. So people want a high degree of competency. They want to know when they go, they're going to be looked at, they're going to be looked at objectively, that they're going to be diagnosed quickly, accurately. We're looking for those, but we're looking for that convenience factor too. Whether we like it or not, we're Americans and we like our convenience. This AI shirt does all of it. It's very convenient. How convenient to throw a shirt on. And I'm looking at a picture of it right now. It looks like a t-shirt. You can use it as an undershirt. You throw it on. It literally takes two seconds. Use it as an undershirt. Put a shirt over top of it. Wala, you're good to go. You can wash it.

51:48You can throw it back on. Easy peasy. I love that they built in the convenience factor. I love that. But there's also going to be a very high degree of competency. And that's not coming from human doctors. Ultimately, it is. They're the ones who have the data. I never, ever want to underestimate what doctors do, the hard work that they do. I really do respect and admire doctors and nurses, physicians, assistants, all of them. I have tremendous respect for them. I don't want anybody to mishear me and think that I have a thing against doctors and nurses. I don't. We need them. My children have, in my opinion, some of the best, if not in our county,

52:50maybe even across a couple counties. They're fantastic. They're wonderful. But there is that human element and that human element does make mistakes. That human element does fail to see things that AI can objectively view. It can see it. It can spot it. This is happening over and over and over. Look up some of the studies. Look at some of the recent studies on cancers that have been detected, immediately by AI. And doctors, human doctors are saying we never would have been able to detect that. I don't look at that as a negative. I look at that as a very positive thing. And I think we live in a world where AI and humans must coexist. Like I said, the genie is out of the bottle and we're not putting it back in. AI is here. It is a companion to humans. We do coexist together. We will continue to coexist together. And the

53:56question is how are we going to use it? So the AI t-shirt, when is this going to be available? Researchers estimate that the technology could reach clinical practice within five years. Before that happens, as I mentioned, it has to undergo rigorous trials and regulatory review. That's all a good thing. The initial testing is focusing on adults, but if the results are strong, it could eventually extend to children. I believe it will. The ultimate goal is to equip doctors, to have better tools to identify inherited heart rhythm disorders before they become fatal. Period. I think it's fantastic. I'm so excited about this. And I hate to say it this way, but I hope I live to see this thing happen. I would love to have one. I would pay a dear price to be honest with you. I would pay a dear price to get one of these

55:02and to try it out. Just to have peace of mind if nothing else. Or if not peace of mind, to be able to catch something that doctors otherwise wouldn't be able to catch, I would love that. I would absolutely, absolutely love that. And I think most of us who are alive today, who actually care about our health, I think that all of us would be insane to not look at this as a win for the medical community. I think this is a huge win. I think this is one of the biggest wins maybe of our lifetime. 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 cardiologist, that's a game changer for humanity. It's an absolute game

56:04changer. 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. A lot of children have heart disease. This is absolutely 100% a game changer and that my friends is the hidden lightness. I love, love, love things like this and this just this got me going this week. I am super excited about this. You can find more out about my show and get all the latest podcasts. If you go to the many navigation bar at americaoutloud.news under our shows or schedule, you'll be in the know. There is a hidden lightness that shines inside of all of us. When there's so much darkness that envelopes the world and believe me, there's a lot of it. Remember that it doesn't take much light to expose that darkness and to ultimately inspire other people. Join me in being a light.
