@KevinEscalera Thank you. We love having fun.
@Zodomo @bryan_johnson @function Function has an on demand option to test more frequently. Super easy.
Reposting this because I think it eloquently stated the same points I made today re: this new product vs MRI, and also because it includes the thoughts of Function’s @DanielSodickson, formerly of @NYUImaging and truly the expert’s expert on MRI.
Strong agree -- "@Midjourney's instinct is… sound: build a fast, cheap, radiation-free scanner. But the revolution isn't the snapshot; it's scanning longitudinally to detect change, fusing it with other modalities like MRI, and putting it in homes rather than spas. ... Overall, kudos to @DavidSHolz and his team"
@function estimates over 1000x growth in Annul MRI's this decade. The traditional checkup is obsolete. In the last year we've had to expand from ~30 to ~200 locations to meet demand for @function's 22-minute Annual MRI. It is now under $1,000 and scans for cancers across brain, pancreatic, prostate, uterine, ovarian, bladder, kidney, spleen, gallbladder, liver, and thyroid. Also scans for aneurysms, strokes, hernias, tears, diverticulitis, iron overload, endometriosis, abnormal cysts, fatty liver. If you add time, it scans the spine and the skeletal system. Before AI, this took hours and many thousands of dollars. The 22 minute scan time is on track to be reduced much further, and the cost will deflate with it. AI is the most important technology is medical history.
@PalmerLuckey Widespread MRI usage done at least annually with AI reviewing the data would greatly improve wellbeing and mortality
As someone who is very particular about product quality, I give @function an A+. Their customer experience is outstanding. 1) Scheduling a blood draw takes about 30 seconds 2) Results come back fast 3) The depth of insight you get into your health is on another level
@mousemastery @function @pli_cachete Long live Leah.
@gkamstra @bryan_johnson @function Long live Greg.
1/ Get this moment right and you get Renaissance Florence. Get it wrong and you get the New Soviet Man —and the twenty million graves that came with him. AI is a Renaissance. Three of its four pillars are already here. The fourth is on us.🧵
@bronzeageshawty @9LayerBurrito @function Just FYI: MRI has no ionizing radiation. It’s just magnets. CT does have low dose radiation so it should be done infrequently.
One chart should change how many think about cancer. This is U.S. survival data from patients diagnosed between 2011 and 2017. Local = cancer is only in the organ where it started. Regional = cancer has reached nearby lymph nodes or tissues. Distant = cancer has spread to other organs. Look at what happens to 5-year survival: Breast cancer 99% (local) 86% (regional) 29% (distant) Colon cancer 91% 72% 14% Melanoma 99% 68% 30% Prostate cancer 99% 99% 31% Lung cancer 60% 33% 6% Pancreatic cancer 42% 14% 3% The numbers are not current. This data is now several years old. Since then, treatment has improved significantly for melanoma, lung cancer, kidney cancer, and some blood cancers thanks to immunotherapy and targeted therapies. Progress has been slower for pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, and metastatic colorectal cancer. The percentages have changed. The pattern has not. For many cancers, the biggest difference is not the cancer itself. It’s whether it is found before or after it spreads. (Credit @emigal who shared this chart with me)
@jwmares Give the people what they really need.
@jwmares The only logical thing is to launch Oreo broth and pick up your score on this vibe coded app.
@AgrawalArian @function How about we have a medical specialist come to your home or office for your blood draw?
