Patterson's iWatch wanna-be is certainly not directly related to Cytodyn, but it may be closer than Cytodyn adjacent.
Patterson's concept is that every patient is an investigator.
Covid is multifactorial and every patient's experience is relevant to discovering the best treatment path.
Patterson's complaint is that the notion of precision medicine is completely lost on the vast majority of physicians.
So much so that when he reviewed patient files from very sick covid patients during Christmas break, Patterson learned that "hospital physicians were unaware of the immune status of their severe/critical patients".
Hard to know exactly what Patterson means, but I suspect he is saying something to the effect that the hospital physicians do not lab test severe/critical patients to figure out whether the patients are in the viral phase or the cytokine phase of covid disease.
I read Patteson's complaint to mean that most physicians are Luddites.
I read Patterson's complaint to mean that most physicians, even highly trained hospital specialists treating severe/critical covid patients, cannot adapt to new concepts which they cannot understand.
I read Patterson's compalints to mean that most physicians do not understand what Patterson is doing.
One brief snippet of Paterson's comments included the tidbit that the types of tests which Patterson runs are traditionally viewed as "research" and not used for clinical practice.
Maybe its true that cytokine and chemokine test panels are not normally employed in clinical practice.
Maybe its true that RNA, DNA, and single cell genomics are not typically used in clinical practice.
Certainly its true that no one but Patterson, at least at the moment, is employing his long hauler index, which is an algebra formula on several lab test results.
Possibly Patterson is the first, and still only, medical person to feed a big data matrix into an AI correlator program with the expectation that the AI would spit out the dispositive medical parameters, idk.
So perhaps Patterson is breaking some new ground in diagnostic medicine.
Perhaps the paradigm shift will include analysis of multifactorial data sets in diseases that have multifactorial causes.
Perhaps, especially in chronic diseases, several data vectors will be collected from wearable 24hr patient monitors.
Patterson/Yo will collect multifactorial data for the multifactorial disease, covid19.
Patterson/Yo will employ a wearable 24hr patient monitor to collect some of this data.
Patterson/Yo will aggregate thousands of individual patient datasets.
Seems to me this approach might also work for other multifactorial diseases.
According to Patterson, CCR5 is the "quarterback" of the immune system.
Cytodyn's many experiments in cancer, liver disease, CNS, and covid suggest Patterson may have badly underestimated the importance of CCR5 in many multifactorial diseases.
So suppose Patterson makes some progress with his newfangled immune profiling tool and that it proves useful for covid long haulers.
That means that immune system surveillance is a critical tool in the treatment of the multifactorial immune disease covid19.
Well, cancer is an immune disease for certain. MS is an immune disease for certain. Alzheimer's has an inflammatory component for certain. (Arguably every disease is an immune disease because every disease can be defeated by a powerfully functioning immune system.)
So seems to me that if successful in covid19, the Patterson tools will be applied to many other diseases.
And if immune surveillance is critical for covid19, and the next step is to apply immune surveillance to other chronic diseases, what tools for immune surveillance will be used?
Maybe all the cancer, MS, NASH, and who knows what else will follow if a successful example in immune surveillance for covid19.
If it catches on fast, Patterson's tools might be the only tools available.
Seems to me that Cytodyn cancer trial patients could be wearing Patterson watches in the near future.
Gaylis may already be on board the Patterson/Yo train. How long will it take for others to hop on board?
Well, Cdiddy, probably a far too long and circuitous answer to your very simple question. I guess i just have too much free time on my hands
