Memorable Quotes:
\u201cThe prototype for Endeavor RX\u2026when given to aging adults\u2026their cognitive performance turned back the clock.\u201d
\u201cThis is a treatment. This is not a video game. It\u2019s a treatment that\u2019s sort of disguised as a video game.\u201d
\u201cWe\u2019re very excited\u2026We have high confidence that this treatment is impacting and improving attention.\u201d
\u201cOne of the big challenges that we face as a company is trying to change awareness and educate. You\u2019re not going to see the same kinds of changes that you\u2019ll see if you start a child on medicine. It\u2019s not going to be as abrupt\u2026but there are changes. This is a relatively slow process.\u201d
\u201cI saw one antidote where a parent said that they didn't tell the teacher that they had started on Endeavor and after about 2-3 weeks, the teacher said, 'I\u2019m not sure what\u2019s happened here, but this child is now doing XYZ much better\u2026'\u201c
\u201cIt\u2019s really important to remember that Endeavor RX is a treatment.\u201d
\u201cThe overall numbers of side effects and adverse events that are reported are tiny.\u201d
\u201cThis is another option, and it\u2019s a very safe option that we know works, and so it should be in the conversation.\u201d
\u201cNot all screentime is created equal.\u201d
\u201cThis is a brand new form of treatment that\u2019s never been out there before.\u201d
