"We are on the cusp of a major transformation in healthcare--yet few people know it. At top hospitals and a few innovative health-tech startups, scientists are working closely with patients to dramatically extend their "healthspan," the number of healthy years before disease sets in.
"In The Age of Scientific Wellness, two visionary leaders of this revolution in health take us on a thrilling journey to the new frontier of medicine. Leroy Hood and Nathan Price argue that we must move beyond today's reactive, hit-or-miss approach to usher in a form of highly personalized care they call "scientific wellness." Using information gleaned from our blood and genes and tapping into the data revolution made possible by AI, doctors can catch the onset of disease years before symptoms arise, with startling results: diabetes reversed, cancers eliminated, Alzheimer's avoided, and autoimmune conditions kept at bay.
