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 this new frontier of medicine.

Today, most doctors wait for clinical symptoms to appear before they act, and the ten most commonly prescribed medications confer little or no benefit to most people taking them. Leroy Hood and Nathan Price argue that we must move beyond this reactive, hit-or-miss approach to usher in real precision health—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.

This is not a future fantasy: it is already happening, but only for a few patients and at high cost. It's time to make this gold standard of care more widely available. Inspiring in its possibilities, radical in its conclusions, The Age of Scientific Wellness shares actionable insights to help you chart a course to a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

It was a little bit dry and technical but I did enjoy it and I was able to follow it with a little concerted effort to concentrate.

fascinating concepts but a little dry and technical

Excellent review of the incredible potential of human genome sequencing and deep phenotyping to transform our lives by ushering in an era of wellness rather than the current inadequate system of healthcare. Great narration and full of examples of how hyper fast artificial intelligence-driven data processing can yield actionable information to prevent diseases and improve health span!

I do worry about shaming if someone doesn't take the actionable. I also wonder about the coming disparity between those who can do this and the folks who cannot even go to any doctor.

Still, the fact that our medicines are so bad, I think we HAVE to go with this idea.

I have a genetic disease and got a specific test, so not really what they are talking about, but it is sure right that many doctors don't want to talk about those tests.

I found this book simply fascinating!
