Memorable Quotes:

“The prototype for Endeavor RX…when given to aging adults…their cognitive performance turned back the clock.”

“This is a treatment. This is not a video game. It’s a treatment that’s sort of disguised as a video game.”

“We’re very excited…We have high confidence that this treatment is impacting and improving attention.”

“One of the big challenges that we face as a company is trying to change awareness and educate. You’re not going to see the same kinds of changes that you’ll see if you start a child on medicine. It’s not going to be as abrupt…but there are changes. This is a relatively slow process.”

“I 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’m not sure what’s happened here, but this child is now doing XYZ much better…’“

“It’s really important to remember that Endeavor RX is a treatment.”

“The overall numbers of side effects and adverse events that are reported are tiny.”

“This is another option, and it’s a very safe option that we know works, and so it should be in the conversation.”

“Not all screentime is created equal.”

“This is a brand new form of treatment that’s never been out there before.”
