The Strategic Imperative of AI-Powered Longitudinal Full-Body Screening: Charting a Course for Proactive Health Stewardship

We discuss the potential of AI-powered longitudinal full-body screening to revolutionize healthcare by shifting from a reactive model to a proactive one. This involves using artificial intelligence to analyze frequent comprehensive scans, creating detailed personal health baselines and enabling very early disease detection. However, this approach presents significant challenges, including ensuring data privacy and security, preventing algorithmic bias and discrimination, and managing patient anxiety and incidental findings. The texts emphasize the critical role of physician mediation in interpreting complex AI results and providing personalized guidance.
