In terms of unmet needs for endometriosis, it's underfunded and an under-researched healthcare condition, despite its high cost in terms of treatment and despite high prevalence. So it's highly prevalent within society and there's a high cost associated with diagnosis and management of that. And despite that, there tends to be lack of research in the area, and lack of funding in this area. Really serves as a prevention in terms of slowing the management of it. Also slowing the innovation of creating sustainable diagnostic solution, as well as treatment options for patients who do suffer from it.
