How medicine can move from detecting disease to understanding and preserving health by connecting biological history, present measurement and possible future trajectories.
Questions
How do we transform medicine from a science of disease into a science of health?
How do we develop diagnostic tools capable of incorporating the past, assaying the present and informing possible futures?
How can we develop diagnostic solutions that are deployable cost-effectively at population scale without losing the ability to provide personalised answers?

published on Linkedin on 20 July 2025. Every week, my LinkedIn feed is filled with billion-dollar AI alliances, breakthrough biomarker announcements, and government blueprints for “future healthcare.” Locally and globally, the numbers are extraordinary: the global precision medicine market is set to reach USD 119 billion in 2025 and leap to USD 470 billion by…
Published on linkedin on June 17th 1. Not enough evidence! When we first embarked on developing Hepatopredict, our idea was very clear: create a biomarker-based test that could reliably inform clinical decisions about liver transplantation in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In our minds, the pathway was straightforward: demonstrate a strong correlation with clinical outcomes,…
At 35, Sarah suffered a heart attack that a €30 genetic test could have prevented. Her story isn’t unusual, it’s a mirror of how health systems worldwide confuse “standard care” with equity. Sarah, a 34-year-old teacher, had visited her GP complaining of fatigue and chest tightness during exercise. Her cholesterol was significantly elevated at 8.2…
“70% of clinical decisions depend on diagnostics.” You’ve seen this statistic, but it hides an important detail: timing. The acuity gradient: Lab testing occurs in 98% of inpatient encounters, 56% in emergency departments, but only 29% in outpatient settings (Ngo et al., 2017): diagnostics concentrate where disease is most advanced. Prevention is neglected: Evidence-based guidelines…
