The Invisible Gap: Why Prevention Is the Next Healthcare Revolution with Corlette Deveaux

A stroke or heart attack rarely happens in a doctor’s office, it happens on an ordinary day when nobody is watching the subtle warning signs. We sit down with healthcare innovator and RM2.ai CEO Corlette to talk about the invisible gap between appointments and why that gap is where preventable crises quietly build. If you’re caring for aging parents, managing chronic disease, or simply trying to stay independent longer, this conversation is a practical look at how prevention can finally come before panic. 

We get personal about caregiving, the “sandwich generation,” and the cost of waiting until there’s a fall, a missed medication, or a sudden ER visit. Corlette explains how an early warning health intelligence platform integrates with select wearables to pull vitals like blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen, and temperature and then turns those readings into trend-based visibility and alerts. We also dig into how a shared care team dashboard can assign different alerts to different family members, plus why geofencing and location monitoring can be life-saving for loved ones at risk of wandering with dementia. 

We also tackle the big question: should people be afraid of AI in healthcare? Corlette makes the case for AI as an enhancement, not a replacement for human care, and introduces live vital intelligence for telehealth so clinicians can see real-time vitals during a virtual visit and review months of trends without relying on handwritten logs. Along the way, we connect prevention back to everyday lifestyle choices and why “know your numbers” matters for hypertension and other chronic conditions.

Welcome And Guest Introduction

SPEAKER_00 0:02

Welcome everybody to the Fudd Ramp Podcast. This is Grant McGall, and I get to go back to one of my, I would say my home away from home, which is the Miami, Florida area, and get to talk to a very, very important person I've been working with for the last, I actually have known her for maybe a couple of years now. And that is a Corlette. You're going to get the chance to meet Corlett. We're going to talk about the next healthcare revolution and why prevention must come before crisis. And this is very important. Now, Corlette, she is a healthcare innovator. She's an entrepreneur. She's a senior advocate and internationally recognized trainer with more than 30 years of experience in healthcare, in business, in leadership. And she is the co-founder and CEO of a fantastic company. And I gotta let you guys know about this company because it's called Remember to Care. Remember to Care or RM2.ai. She is the leading movement behind this very proactive, preventer-focused healthcare through the use of health intelligence and artificial intelligence. So she's bringing those two things together. She's a former healthcare executive with Pfizer, Nervartis, Alcon Labs, and BioTissu. And she has dedicated her career to improving the lives to education, innovation, and advocacy. And she is sought after, sought after. And on my podcast, she's a sought-after speaker. I'm so glad to have her because she works with all these organizations: caregivers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, to advance solutions that help people live their lives healthier, safer, and more independent. And she is an author of all of that. She just came out with this new book, and we're going to talk about a little bit about that, the care code, where prevention meets AI, which is going to be launching here really, really soon. I think it's going to come out tomorrow, but I'll let her talk about that. And that's going to challenge our readers to rethink healthcare by recognizing the warning signs that often proceed a crisis and explores how prevention, technology, and human compassion can work together to transform the future of healthcare. So I'd like to bring her to the states. Corlette, would you like to introduce yourself?

SPEAKER_01 2:28

Thank you so much, Grant. First and foremost, I am so thrilled to be here. Heard so many great things about you. And to be on your show is an honor for me. Yes, I am the uh co-founder and CEO of RM2.ai. And this is an early warning health intelligence platform that we created and invented to help to be that invisible, to be that visible layer between doctors' visits. So, you know, you go to the doctor. When you leave, the doctor says, good stamp of health. Your battles look good. Come back in six months. Well, the question is what happens between doctors' visits, between six months? Who's checking on you? You know what's going on. That's what we want to talk about. That's what we've invented. We've closed that gap and made it more visible. So we'll know what's going on between visits. And um, this all comes on the heels of my experiences, not only in former sales, but also my life experiences with my parents and loved ones that I've been um had the honor of helping through various crises and situations. So it is my inspiration, my experiences are my inspiration.

Origin Story And Personal Loss

SPEAKER_00 3:40

We got to get a little bit of your origin story before I start putting you through the lightning rounds of questions. And that is, and we had a little bit of under, we had a little chit-chat before we jumped on, meaning she's from the Bahamas, and we're talking about the Bahamas. You got to tell us a little bit of your origin story and what you kind of got you into even thinking about healthcare in the first place.

SPEAKER_01 4:00

You know, let me take you back just a couple of years ago, because I'm only 21. So, you know, I was born and raised in Nassau, Bahamas. And back then my culture was the children, and especially the oldest daughter, which I am, is responsible for taking care of the parents. And so I was raised with this notion that I am responsible for taking care of my parents. Fast forward many years later, when my parents um got older, uh, it was my responsibility to start figuring out how to take care of my parents. One of the reasons I exited pharmaceuticals is so that I can start caring for my elderly parents. So I opened up an adult daycare in night in 2016 with the idea that I was going to bring my mother from the Bahamas to Florida to be in my adult daycare with me, go to work with me, I can take care of her, she can have new friends, and then I would go back home and we would be a happy family, just taking care of my mom. My father's still working, he's doing great. Well, my mother loves the Bahamas, so she actually didn't never came. Um, I don't want to say that she misplaced her passport, and she refused to go and get a new one. So the result is that we never brought her. However, she was a hypertension, she was hypertensive and she didn't like to take on medication like many seniors. She didn't take her medication one day. She had a stroke. She had a TIA, which is a transient ischemic attack, like a mini stroke. We took her to the hospital, and a series of events led to my mother being passing away in the hospital. And so because of that, and because of all of the other experiences that I've had, you know, that led me to work with my founder, Bert Fertell, to identify something that could possibly help save lives and encourage people who are who have chronic diseases to take their medication. It's important. Right. And that's my mantra. I I want to help make a difference in the world and in the lives of individuals so that we can realize that health truly is wealth. Health, if you don't have your health, you really have nothing. You really are dependent on others. And when you depend on others, you put a strain on them. And I don't mean to say this in a negative way, but it is a strain on them because remember, everyone has a life, everyone is working, or someone may have children, working, they have children, and then they have to turn around and take care of their loved ones. Because yes, we do love you and we do want to care for you, but help us along the way by taking care of yourself. If you take care of yourself, it will help us be able to take care of each other. It's not a crisis that requires someone to care for you.

unknown 7:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 7:02

That is beautiful, and that is a great what you know. Your passion falls through as to why you've created this type of platform. Because in the United States, we call it the um grey tsunami. What does that mean? I mean, we have uh uh the older population, we've never had a population of this size in the United States at the same time where we've got a lot of senior exam senior people, and they're all going through the this journey of getting older and they need more care and on the whole like and then depending on what your age is, you might be that that sandwich generation meaning you're taking care of children, like you said, and you're taking care of older parents, and you might even be taking care of grandkids, and who knows what the situation may be. So it's very important. You you mentioned something, and I want this is very important the visibility, especially what you just said like, hey, you go see the doctor, you get that physical exam, but then you might not see him for six months to a year. What happens in between? So, what what do you mean? Help us understand that. What do you mean when you say the future of healthcare is visibility?

The Invisible Gap Between Visits

SPEAKER_01 8:11

You know, we have an invisible gap. Nobody ever really thought about it before. We have an invisible gap. That invisible gap is what happens between doctors' visits. Have you ever had a friend of yours or someone that you know, you hear, oh my god, this person had a massive heart attack? And you're like, What? They look great. The reason why that happens is because they may look great on the outside, but no one knows what's going on on the inside. Monitoring what's going on on the inside, that means who is constantly checking their vitals? Well, if no one is checking their vitals in between doctors' visits, a lot could happen. So, what we've created is our early warning health intelligence platform. It's our technology that allows us to identify and monitor individuals' vitals between doctors' visits in real time. So essentially, we are constantly, we have integrated with a number of different devices. You can go and buy a device off the shelf right now, but it doesn't have our technology in it and it doesn't do what we do. We have identified and we have checked, researched, and tested three wearables that we are currently using to uh integrate our our technology. When you integrate the technology, every 30 minutes, your blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, and oxygen is being pulled and put into our server. When we put it into our server, well now what? We are now able to track the trends, the trends for your vitals to identify if there's any irregularities. We have built a threshold of um, you know, what ifs so that if something happens, the alerts will be sent to loved ones to inform them that there may be an issue. There are different levels of alerts. So you now have someone with you, 24-7, as long as you wear the wearable, you now have the ability for someone to be monitoring your vitals. And so, for example, let's just say, Grant, you're hypertensive, and over a series of two to three hours, your blood pressure goes, spikes to maybe 190, and you feel a little lethargic, or you just maybe have a headache and you want to rest and lay down, and nobody monitors that you just feel a little off. Yeah, subtle changes happen, people ignore them, and that's when you have that heart attack or that stroke. Because subtle changes happen. Heart attacks and strokes don't happen in your doctor's office. Yeah, they happen when you're out there in the real world living a real life. And so as you're living that real life, subtle changes are happening that you may ignore, or you may just feel a little off and you just ignore it. You just say, I just need some rest. And you know, consequences, consequently, something may happen. You may have, you know, that heart attack or a stroke or something that is a crisis. So now we have built this so that we can now have that visible layer. The health is visibility, it's seeing what's happening in between your doctor's visits. And you know, when you go to the doctor and you show your doctor all of the blood pressure that has been pulled or your heart rate, the doctor can see easily, clearly what's been happening. And that's where we say a picture is worth a thousand words because you can show the picture of what's been going on with you, right?

SPEAKER_00 11:49

Yeah, and we we need that visibility. I often talk, uh um, especially with one of my uh uh partners about the fact that we in our vehicles, our cars, right? That uh you constantly get a measurement, a monitoring of the car's health. You're looking at the dashboard as you're driving, right? It's telling you the oil pressure, it's telling you the temperature, it's telling you that it's fine. And then if it's not, it's gonna give you the yellow light, caution, or a red light. Yes, right. But we're not doing it for ourselves. Is it am I right, Jordan?

SPEAKER_01 12:25

You sure are, and that's exactly that is a perfect analogy. That's exactly what we're doing. We are now doing the checkup and making sure that you don't overheat, making sure that the car, like you said, is running. And if there's you're running out of oil, you're gonna get that oil light coming up saying you need oil. That's exactly what we have built. We have built that mechanism so that if you are running out of oil, or if your temperature is high, or if you're running out of oxygen, oxygen's dropping, those things, you will get an a red light, you'll get a green light, you'll get a yellow light. Hey, you got a yellow light, you better check this out. You got a red light, say you need to go to the hospital right now. Yeah, yeah. That's what you get. That's where the visibility comes. Listen, we are not we are more important than our cars. Yeah, you think cars, we're now doing it for humans because we are trying to stay save lives. I'm not saying we don't diagnose, by the way. We merely pull information and share that information with the family members and the doctors so they can make the decisions. We don't decide, we don't diagnose.

SPEAKER_00 13:34

Right, monitoring. I got it, I got it. You're getting that visibility and then you can understand it. Now, you also mentioned, I think this is important. You talked about aging parents. You're in that situation, your parents are aging, you're trying to get them close so you can monitor them, right? So they can be closer to you, you can see what's going on. And sometimes, you know, it it's at a distance, uh, you can't be that bad. That's one of the reasons why I moved from Miami, Florida to the Midwest. I wanted to be close to my parents at a point where they weren't really, I can say, in a healthcare crisis, but I wanted to be close enough. Uh, so if anything did uh occur, I'm I'm there, and then I can still operate my world no matter where I may need to be. You're stating, and I want to ask you this. What do you feel? What is the biggest mistake that families make when caring for aging parents?

SPEAKER_01 14:27

I would say the biggest mistake that that we all make is waiting for the crisis. Why are we waiting for the crisis? Why not prevent the crisis? If you can, prevention is better than cure. So if you think about it, wouldn't you want to know if if a train is coming towards you, you if you see the train, would you stay there or would you get out the way? You're gonna get out the way. So the mistake is just waiting and thinking it's not gonna happen to you, it's not gonna happen to your parents. Well, in order for that not to happen, then we have to take action. We have to do things to prevent certain things from happening. So let's let's switch from being reactive and waiting for the fall, waiting for the heart attack, waiting for the stroke, waiting for the medication, you know. Why are we waiting? Let's be proactive. Let's now identify a simple, easy way to prevent certain things and to have that visibility. So when we see something that is irregular, we can do something about it. That's how that's where the prevention comes in. Prevention comes in. Prevention occurs when you have visibility of what is coming, what uh what could potentially be coming, so you can stop it. That's visibility, and you need uh our platform for that visibility to see the trends that indicate wait a second, mom's heart rate dropped to 53. Something is going on. 53 is not good.

SPEAKER_00 16:01

Yes, what you're saying right there, especially when you know the statistics, especially with African Americans, people just uh of color that that right now think one out of two have hypertension or high blood pressure. One out of two, that's that right there. And how you talk about stroke, heart disease, or sudden heart attack, all these things, a lot of it stems from high blood pressure, right? So if you're not monitoring that pressure, you're not really seeing where that's at, or

Alerts And Shared Care Team Dashboard

SPEAKER_00 16:31

you don't know if you have you don't know your numbers. Is it a lot of people say you don't know your numbers? You know, those things are all very important. So you're saying from uh monitoring your your parents, if you're at that point, of knowing kind of where they're at and then having that ability. Now, is this a is it a care team that everyone can see like a dashboard kind of thing?

SPEAKER_01 16:54

It is a dashboard. So when when you sign up for our service, the owner of the account gives authority and visibility to whoever they want to give it to. We don't have access to that information, we don't see it. So you want to give family members authority for certain things, for everything or certain things. We give the the account owner the opportunity to go in and select who you want on the care team, who you want to give visibility for what. So I may have visibility for to get alerts if my loved one falls. You may get an alert if your loved one's vitals are irregular. Your sister might get an alert if your loved one does not take the medication. So there are different alerts. The account owner decides who gets the alerts for each one of the criteria that we have. So we have built this unified platform where you have all of these things going up into one unified platform. So we look at we look at falls, we look at medication adherence, uh, we look at vitals, uh, we look at location, we offer location monitoring. And the reason that's important for location monitoring is that we've customized in our platform what we call geofencing. That allows the family member to put a perimeter around the building if you are concerned that your loved one may wander off.

unknown 18:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 18:20

Go in and put in any day, any time, and you put a perimeter around a location. And if your loved one leaves that perimeter, you will get an automatic alert with their location so you can go and find them quickly. The reason why that's important is because six out of ten seniors with dementia will get lost at least once in their lifetime. And over 50% of them will either be found dead or seriously injured in 24 hours. Time is of the essence. You know, I had someone say to me the other day, I just came from Bahamas last night, and someone was saying, Oh yeah, my grandmother got lost. And thankfully, she got on the bus. The bus driver said she's she was on that bus for five rounds around the island. She didn't get off. When it was time for him to get off work, he went and said, Ma'am, it's time for you to get off. She didn't know where she was and she didn't know anything. He actually, thank God, took her to the police station.

SPEAKER_00 19:26

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:28

When they wander, they don't stay in one place. They jump on the bus and they can end up out of state.

SPEAKER_00 19:32

Anywhere. I you hear this all the time in the news. People, you know, they're getting lost. And it said, unfortunately, there are more and more people that are being diagnosed, whether you have dementia, Alzheimer's, other things. I love what you just said about that that location, and quickly you can assess that, oh, you know, they they they they they've left the home or the apartment or whatever it may be. Because you're saying that prevention is super, super important. And and for what you're doing, I we want to understand

Dementia Wandering And Geofencing

SPEAKER_00 20:04

why is prevention so important right now in your land. What are you seeing?

SPEAKER_01 20:10

You know, when I was um developing this with my team, we did a lot of research, and the one thing that we found this is huge. In the United States, we spend $5.3 trillion every year on healthcare expenditures. Wow. 5.3. I don't know how many zeros that is. I have to keep check it out because I might, you know. But that's a lot of money that we're spending in this country. And the the ironic thing about the $5.3 trillion that we're spending, 90% of that goes towards taking care of individuals with chronic diseases.

SPEAKER_00 20:50

Say that 90% of that $5 trillion goes to chronic disease uh care.

SPEAKER_01 20:57

That is correct, and that's not seen, not necessarily seniors, because we have a lot of individuals, and you said it one and two, right? A lot of individuals that are young have hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol, or silent killers because you ignore it, you may not be experiencing anything today. And so you may just not take your medication. Oh, I'm okay. Oh, I could do this on my own. Well, you don't get these diseases overnight. That's why they're called chronic diseases. What that means is when you have chronic diseases, that means that your body has been going through something for a very long time. It took your body a long time to get here. Chronic versus acute. So if you don't take care of yourself for a long period of time, then you get a disease that is now chronic. It doesn't mean that you can't um get rid of it. It means it's going to be harder. Because remember, it didn't happen overnight. Right. It took a long time to get here. So I I want to encourage people, you know, in pharmaceutical sales. When I when I worked in pharmaceuticals, I remember one of the things we would tell doctors whenever someone is pre anything, the first line of defense is lifestyle modifications. Yes. What are you eating? What are you drinking? Are you exercising? Are you moving? Your lifestyle determines whether you get these chronic diseases. And it's critically important.

SPEAKER_00 22:26

Say that loud. I want you to say that loud, especially for our people. Oh my God, you gotta, you, you gotta, you gotta do something. You can't just continue on, right?

SPEAKER_01 22:38

You gotta stop. The KFC, I know it's delicious. The fried chicken, delicious. I mean, I I'm I I love all of those things. Sodas, sweet as can be. Please. Everything in moderation. Everything you cannot drink sodas every day. You cannot eat fried chicken every day. You cannot eat the fatty stuff, the French fries, the fried food, those things over time. You know, you think about the the fat that you're eating in your body. How much body your body is screaming, please help me, this is just too much. Yeah. When that happens, something is gonna have to give.

SPEAKER_00 23:18

Something's gotta give.

SPEAKER_01 23:19

Your body's like, I'm tired, I can't fight anymore. Let me just let it go.

SPEAKER_00 23:23

So yeah. Just like when a car or a vehicle like

The Case For Prevention And Lifestyle

SPEAKER_00 23:28

that, it'll break down. That's basically what it comes down to. It's going to break. Something's got to give if you're if it keeps you know doing those bad behaviors. So prevention, I feel, is is super important. I'm glad everybody is hearing this. Now, here's another thing because you're talking about a technology platform,

Why AI Belongs In Healthcare

SPEAKER_00 23:46

right? And some people are very nervous about artificial intelligence, right? We need to understand, help us understand why they should embrace it in healthcare.

SPEAKER_01 23:58

You know, um, I can go to um my my friend chat or Gemini, and I can ask a question, and before I can blink, they've already answered all the questions, and it's pretty it's pretty accurate. So artificial intelligence has a place in the world. It now makes things easier for you in certain aspects. But artificial intelligence will never be able to look at you and say, Mom, you don't look well today. Mom, how are you feeling today? Mom, let's go for a walk. Mom, give me a hug. That human touch, the humanistic side of it, artificial intelligence is not able to do that. It is a machine. We are not machines. We are human, we are human beings. So artificial intelligence has a place, it's not going to replace us because a machine standing next to you can give you a hug and console you when you are crying or when you have a human touch. So think about that now. What I will say is that as a result of all of the innovation, the way we do things is going to have to change. But that's okay. Change is not always bad. If you embrace the change, you will and move with the change and be a part of the change, then it'll make it easier for you. And always identify how you can shift with the change. If you don't, then that's when you become terrified, like, oh my goodness, I'm gonna be, you know, I'm gonna lose my job. Well, identify a way for you to incorporate new skills. All of this is to help us move from point A to point B, from point B to point C. We have to move along the paradigm shift so that we get better and better. Look, when computers came years ago, we had cell phones. Remember those big old cell phones?

SPEAKER_00 25:55

Oh, the giant ones, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:56

Right now, now I'm sure the the phone companies didn't like it either because they were thinking you're gonna get rid of the rotary phones, right? Yeah, the but look at where we are now. We have cell phones that can go with you anywhere and do anything that you want. Yes, we have we have cell phones, but look, the evolution of cell phones has actually enhanced, improved, and made us more efficient. Sure. Look forward and embrace the changes because we don't have a choice. It's here and it's moving along very quickly.

SPEAKER_00 26:29

100%. And just knowing how we're and we're all trying to figure out where is it play in our lives. That's that's the thing. I remember I was resistant to cell phones, right? It was like, ah, why would I take a call when I'm in my car? I would never do this. That's like 1995, right? I was like, why would we do that? You know, it costs too much. I can spend a dime and put it into, you know, a um uh uh used to have a mobile phone. Like you used to drive up to it, you know, and put a dime in and you make a phone call. Like, well, I'm not gonna pay hundreds of dollars to make a phone call in the car. But look, when it when it really started to have data on top of the telephone system, I said, Oh, I can get my email on here. And I got my I said, I it changed my mind. And I said, I can utilize this for other things, and it became you know a good use. And that's where you got to look at AI. Where does it play in your life? Right now, maybe it's not gonna make that much of a difference depending on what you're doing with it. But over time, you said, wow, I can text easier, I can make imagery easier, I can communicate better, I can do things uh faster than I ever could before, and I can scale. And you're like, oh wow, okay, I I see where this is, and then you start to see it. It's not already replacement, it's an enhancement. That's how we have to look at it. It's an enhancement. Now you've been doing some great things and enhancing what you're doing. You just got nominated for an AI health intelligence um uh I think a senior monitoring platform of the year in 2026, right? Is that right?

SPEAKER_01 28:05

Yes, we were, absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 28:08

That corresponding with your book, you got a book coming out. Tell us more about what's going on with you.

Award Nomination And The Care Code

SPEAKER_01 28:14

You know, um, we we started this journey about three years ago, and we're just out there trying to make a difference in the world. And when we received the call that someone nominated us for this, I was wow. So I want to say thank you to whoever nominated RM2 for this award. We truly appreciate it. I have no idea who nominated us, but we were nominated. The the uh results are going to come out in July. So we're hoping that this significant honor. And um, we just want to continue to do what we're doing. We're trying to make a difference. We're trying to reduce the healthcare expenditure that goes towards chronic diseases. We're trying to help identify um crisis before it happens. And if we can identify crisis before it happens, then we can save lives and save, you know, a lot of healthcare dollars. So that's really what we're all about, um, trying to make a difference in the world. Because without someone identifying the problem and identifying a solution, we wouldn't be, we wouldn't have what we have today. So we want to be that that company, that health intelligence company to make a difference with what happens between doctors' visits.

SPEAKER_00 29:27

I like that. Now, does that also correspond with your book, The Care Code, uh, where prevention meets AI? Is that your inspiration for doing that book?

SPEAKER_01 29:37

You know, this this my experiences and an RM2, absolutely, yes, it's an inspiration for this book. And I want to share the book with you. Yes. I I encourage everyone, it is coming out tomorrow.

SPEAKER_00 29:50

Hold it up one more time so we can really see that book. Yeah, the care code. Look at that. All right, all right, all right. Yes, I see it.

SPEAKER_01 29:59

The care code, it's coming out tomorrow, and um, the inspiration is prevention, right? Thinking about prevention. So I have a lot of stories in here and about prevention and and how you can see prevention differently, but it's also about how to show someone that you care, how to care for yourself and how to care for others. Because the reality is as you get older, you will realize that caring does not mean buying me a gift and not coming to see me. Yeah, not caring. For me, caring is if I need support, you're there for me. Yeah, I'm in the hospital, you come to see me, you don't even have to say a word. When I open my eyes, I see you there. I know you care about me, I know you support me. The older you get, the older I get, the more I realize how important that is. And so I want to help others identify simple, easy ways to show the care code. How do you show someone that you care?

SPEAKER_00 31:03

I like that. Now I understand the whole reason for the title: the care code. We got to have a code to that, and more and more of us will be in that position where they're caring for other people, whether they're you know older people, it could be the people in their same age group, because of these statistics that are out here. They're not just statistics, this is a reflection of our our our health as a population. It's not good, it's really not good. As you mentioned, uh the eating habits and that actually breaking down your system. If you had your RM2.ai and it's showing you, just like you get in your car, hey, I need the oil, as you stated. Hey, I need radiator fluid, meaning I need water, hey, I I need to slow down, I'm over eating. You know, all these things are indications, but we we we see this as I'm tired, I'm very fatigued, I'm sweating, um, I'm I'm nervous, um, you know, there's your body, and then there's pain, obviously. There's there's pain that goes along with that as well. These are indicators, your body is indicating to you that you got a problem, but you're giving way more visibility to what those problems are. And as you get involved with the healthcare system, that clinical team can now help you faster. I want to keep it to understand the quicker that you can get care, especially if you go into crisis, the better. Because if it takes too long, no, the effects are gonna get uh be detrimental, especially in the stroke and things like that. So I love what it is that you are doing and you're giving us a preemptive type application that to help the whole care team to get uh better. So we gotta know where we can learn more about your work and purchase this book.

Live Vital Intelligence For Telehealth

SPEAKER_01 32:49

You can learn more about rm2.ai by visiting our website. It's real easy, rm2.ai. Just put in the rm2.ai and it will come up. You can see more information about our technology and what we're doing. Um, there's one thing I want to share before I tell you about the book. Sure. We have built something else here. Many people have heard about telehealth, right? So telehealth essentially means your doctor calls you, you may be on the screen talking to your doctor, and your doctor is going to possibly have you take your vitals and tell them what your vitals are, and your doctor is going to conduct a visit over the phone, right? We have built live vital intelligence. What that means is that we've our technology allows your doctors to see your vitals in real time as they are speaking with you. So your doctor is in Miami, you're in West Palm Beach, or you are in Georgia, you give your doctor access to your account. Your doctor goes into your account and they can see essentially everything that's been happening with you. So what in real time. So as you're talking to me, we pulled your vitals every 30 minutes. Your doctor would have seen two sets of vitals and the time that you and I have been talking. One at 12 o'clock and one at 12:30. So they could say, Oh, Grant, I see your blood pressure looks good, your heart rate looks good, and they can have that conversation. In addition to that, they can also see what your trends were between visits. They will see that little line with everything that's been happening with you for the last six months because you can go back that far. Okay. So now your doctor is able to have a discussion with you. Not only can he see it live live, but here's the thing they can see, now they have this ability to see what's been happening for the last two, three months, and they can say, Grad, I noticed that every Thursday between five and seven, your heart rate goes up. Or I see this time that your mother's getting anxious between five and seven o'clock in the evening. Why is that? Let me look a little further. And I also noticed that does she she gets anxious in the evenings, but she's been falling. I know she hasn't gotten hurt, but we might want to take a look to see what's going on.

SPEAKER_00 35:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:10

Doctor can use all of this information that's in this platform to have a better understanding of what's been happening with you between visits. Okay. So, and it's it's again, a picture is worth a thousand words. You don't have to write anything down. Everything is automatic in our system. And that's the beauty of live vital intelligence. But that's the beauty of artificial intelligence and health intelligence. So no need to be afraid. Embrace it because we can use it for good. We want to use it to help identify and help you to practice preventative measures.

SPEAKER_00 35:47

And that's a quick question, Corlet.

Devices Used And Insurance Questions

SPEAKER_00 35:49

How is it a is it a watch? Is it on your phone? Is it how how do how do you collect this information?

SPEAKER_01 35:57

Very good question. We actually um we did a study in the Bahamas, and the the purpose of the study was to identify if this technology would work in reducing hospital visits and hospitalization. Yes. Yes, we can. We tested using um the Android smartwatch. Um we opted to go with um two or three other devices, and I will share with you this is not those devices.

SPEAKER_00 36:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:29

So this is a simple, easy one that we like to say for the seniors because you know the watches are very complicated for the seniors. So this is one, it has a green and a red button, and it's very simple. It's also a phone. So if you have to call your mom because she got an alert that maybe her blood pressure is very high, you call the phone and she answers. Everybody knows simple, green, and red. Yeah. We also have another device that is a watch. It's just a regular watch that we have. It's a smartwatch, and we've integrated our technology into that as well. The other one that we have is this ring.

SPEAKER_00 37:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 37:04

This ring, we are testing, and this ring right now for the accuracy and to determine if this ring can be brought into our portfolio. So all of the devices that we use that we integrate our technology into, we have to test it before we bring it out. Because we have a scientific team that will tell us this is ready to go or this is not ready to go. Okay. So integrating with wearable devices. We can't use a necklace because the necklace can't pull your vitals. You can't get your blood pressure from your necklace. You can't get it from right. You have to this ring has to be on your left arm, your left hand, actually. So you you know, put on the right, it's a lot of um uh mechanics that go into the rationale for one device over another. And so we have we give our clients options on the device that they would like, so that we just ask one simple thing. We'll do everything else, but can you just wear it? Wear it, and then we'll take it from there.

SPEAKER_00 38:07

One other quick question can this be paid for by insurance, Medicare, Medicaid? Will they reimburse? Or is that something that you talk to your patients about as well?

SPEAKER_01 38:22

Um, a very good question. Right now, it is not reimbursable through Medicare or Medicaid. Um, we are working on that for the future. Um the the wearable device is um at this point, we are giving the wearable device at no cost. The cost and the fee that comes into play is the monitoring fee that for on a monthly basis. So if we're monitoring every 30 minutes, 24-7, we just charge for a monitoring fee on a monthly basis for the device and and and for our platform, there's no cost for the device.

SPEAKER_00 39:00

Nice, nice, all right, right. So just in case you lose it, but hopefully you won't. Hopefully you won't. No, that's the thing, you know, you think about uh certain individuals. But if it's a ring, I I like how you set a watch, uh, something that's uh easily found as well, uh, depending where it's at. I love the uh the placement. This has been wonderful. I just had this one question.

Final Message And Where To Learn More

SPEAKER_00 39:27

It's not really a question. I if you were to leave us with just one message that you hope every listener takes away today, what would that be?

SPEAKER_01 39:37

Well, my mantra in life is simply about love. Love, love, love. Love makes you feel good. People who love don't hurt other people. And the first thing is the care code is about showing love, showing other people, showing others that you care. First and foremost, I'm gonna say June 5th, purchase the care code where prevention means AI. It's available on Amazon starting tomorrow, June 5th, 2026. And please remember it doesn't hurt to love. It feels great to show love. Show love to everyone that you meet, and for your family members, integrate preventive measures, preventive measures, integrate those in your daily life so that those that you love can live a long, healthy life.

SPEAKER_00 40:37

Oh, Carlette, I can't wait to meet you down in the Bahamas. Hopefully in the Bahamas instead of Miami, right? She's telling me when you go to the Bahamas, like Grant, you don't need to go to Atlantis, you don't need to do that. Come with me, I'm gonna show you what Nassau is really, really about. I love that because when you go to the islands with somebody that's from there, they can show you exactly what's going on, right?

SPEAKER_01 40:59

That's fantastic. That is correct. You can come and visit anytime. That's my hometown. I love it, and I love my people. So um, and of course, we are in the United States.

SPEAKER_00 41:11

That's right. That's right. Right there in uh in South Florida, where I live for 27 years and uh definitely loving I'll be down there. You know, I go down there a lot. My kids are there, my grandkids are there, my parents are here in Oma, Nebraska, that's where I am. But I go down to St. Core Version Islands a lot as well. So I get my island time in. Um, but I love the Bahamas. You go to Bahamas a lot from Miami, and it's not just a hot skip and jump. Uh love that as well. This has been wonderful, Corleta. And we want to give a big shout out to our iCa our ICABA people as well. I met you through ICO, ICABA, ICABA World Network. So we have a lot of professionals. We come together and we share our expertise. And I'm glad, so glad that you're sharing this with us. And we're gonna get you up to Amall, Nebraska, to talk about some of the things that we just talked about on our show today because this healthcare and preventive health care and healthcare technology, we all should be having these conversations.
