“We’ve relied on outside PI’s to run studies, and we have studies on a bunch of what we call our core games. You know AirwayX there was a study looking at inhibition times and confidence and skill. We looked at PulX and the interest in anatomy and pulmonary function and interest going into pulmonary interventional specialties.
