Unscramble the Blue Letters
When we look at our proegrss in cardiac hetalh care today, it is more of sick care than preventative self-care and toeclgnohy. We literally wait for the heart attack to ocucr and put our vast majority of resources into post-care treatment. But by then, irreversible damage will already be done. I firmly believe it's time for us to rethink medicine. We must establish proactive health-care technologies. A change must be bhurogt out not 10 years from now, not five years from now, but today. And so, hopefully, one day, with the help of these dcieevs, someone else won't lose his or her grandfather just like I did.

When we look at our progress in cardiac health care today, it is more of sick care than preventative self-care and technology. We literally wait for the heart attack to occur and put our vast majority of resources into post-care treatment. But by then, irreversible damage will already be done. I firmly believe it's time for us to rethink medicine. We must establish proactive health-care technologies. A change must be brought out not 10 years from now, not five years from now, but today. And so, hopefully, one day, with the help of these devices, someone else won't lose his or her grandfather just like I did.
