. It is possible that governmental authorities will conclude that our business
practices may not comply with current or future statutes, regulations or case law involving applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare
laws and regulations. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of these laws or any other governmental regulations that
may apply to us, we may be subject to significant penalties, including civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines,
disgorgement, imprisonment, exclusion from participation in government-funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, integrity
oversight and reporting obligations, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings and the curtailment
or restructuring of our operations. Defending against any such actions can be costly and time-consuming and may require significant financial
and personnel resources.

Therefore,
even if we are successful in defending against any such actions that may be brought against us, our business may be impaired. Further,
if any of the physicians or other healthcare providers or entities with whom we expect to do business are found not to be in compliance
with applicable laws or regulations, they may be subject to significant criminal, civil or administrative sanctions, including exclusions
from government-funded healthcare programs.

The
global data protection landscape is rapidly evolving, and we are or may become subject to numerous state, federal and foreign laws, requirements
and regulations governing the collection, use, disclosure, retention, and security of personal information. Implementation standards
and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future, and we cannot yet determine the impact future laws,
regulations, standards, or perception of their requirements may have on our business. This evolution may create uncertainty in our business,
affect our ability to operate in certain jurisdictions or to collect, store, transfer use and share personal information, necessitate
the acceptance of more onerous obligations in our contracts, result in liability or impose additional costs on us. Each of these laws
is subject to varying interpretations by courts and government agencies, creating complex compliance issues. If we fail to comply with
applicable laws and regulations, we may face government investigations and/or enforcement actions, fines, civil or criminal penalties,
private litigation or adverse publicity that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation. For example,
we may be subject to criminal penalties if we knowingly obtain
