Screening & diagnostics

Core screening & diagnostics

1.2 Strategy

A comprehensive strategy to improve healthspan and lifespan must move beyond traditional, reactive medicine and adopt a proactive, precision-based approach, integrating advanced, multi-faceted screening to create a personalized “digital signature” of an individual’s health. This would include in-depth blood panels measuring not only standard markers but also inflammatory, hormonal, and epigenetic biomarkers to assess biological age and disease risk. The strategy would include evidence-based screening and diagnostics that have shown to increase healthspan, alongside cutting-edge diagnostics such as body imaging and genetic testing, covered in the following chapter, to identify predispositions for cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative conditions long before symptoms appear.
