Will an AI doctor soon replace your physician? I talk about how personalized testing and artificial intelligence are making true preventative health cheaper and more accessible.

 

I talked with Hunter Ziesing, who shifted from a successful career in finance after losing family and friends to preventable diseases. He now runs Longevity Health, a virtual clinic providing comprehensive diagnostic testing, including 60 blood biomarkers, DEXA scans, and VO2 max, for $11,000 annually. The goal is to make health preventative, not reactionary, moving beyond the current sick-care model. We discuss how their AI platform analyzes this massive data to create customized health plans, significantly reducing costs and giving constant, gentle reminders to change daily habits, making prevention affordable and effective. We also cover the challenges of getting consumers ready for a doctorless AI model and the essential role of human doctors in the future.

 

Key Takeaways

• Longevity Health offers a fully HIPAA compliant, physician-led virtual clinic for $11,000 per year, which is a fraction of the cost of some high-end clinics.

• The virtual clinic provides comprehensive testing, including a DEXA scan (for bone density and visceral fat), a CGM glucose monitor (worn for about two months), a blood test (analyzing around 60 biomarkers), a VO2 max test, a sleep study, and gut biome analysis.

• The tests are tailored to the individual's specific health concerns and family history. DEXA and blood tests are the metrics repeated most often every quarter to see real change.

• The "trillion dollar business" is what they are building around AI. AI has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of personalized medicine and make health information more accessible to the masses.

• AI is not fully ready yet, as it still "hallucinates," and regulations are not yet finalized. Furthermore, consumers are not fully ready for the "driverless doctor" and still desire a human physician in the loop for critical decisions.

• The preventative health approach requires giving people a "check engine warning light" via an app, offering constant, gentle reminders to reinforce healthy behaviors before a disease is diagnosed.
