- Bryan Johnson is the self-proclaimed “most measured person in human history.”
Johnson, who became a millionaire selling his online payments startup to PayPal for $800 million, is the new poster boy for an old Silicon Valley obsession: “biohacking” your body to extend your lifespan. He takes routine measurements of everything from his blood to his stool as part of his anti-aging quest.
But Johnson told Forbes he believes there is one “gold standard” measurement tool to rule them all: the full-body MRI.
While startup Ezra and biohackers are trying to make MRIs mainstream, medical experts are concerned the full-body scans could do more harm than good - setting up people who have no specific risk of cancer or another illness for overtreatment and overdiagnosis.

The last scanner in the presentation is a CT scanner, not an MRI.
They need adjustable bed to scan for people that can't walk up steps to lower the bed.

For all the skeptics out there, a preventative scan caught a life-threatening health issue for someone I know before any symptoms showed up. It really proves that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
If you view your ounce of prevention as $1 and your cure as $10... What does this tell you from an economic perspective? 🤔

I’ll do it….. I did my last MRI while meditating and they said I’m normal but I have 2 diseases and need a MRI on my kidney
Siemens MRI is Better Than Ezra.

Doctors in America will love this so they can overprescribe unneeded drugs. Pharmaceutical companies and Doctors will be "high fiving" eachother
Doctors aren't nearly as powerful as for-profit health insurance providers who would rather not find your cancer until it's metastatic and stage 4 so they can say "sorry, nothing we can do, guess you'll just have to die a low-cost death. 🤷"
I always wonder how these companies get so much money when real profitable companies cannot get a freaking loan for 1M
The zing word is AI. Investors are obsessed at this time with AI. Find a way to “incorporate” the buzzword and investor will come in.

Everyone is born with a death sentence. The body is designed to wear out so your soul/spirit can become what ever your eternal destiny will be.
Isn't x-ray dangerous to human body
MRI is not X-ray
Lets have a friendly wager, if in 5 years this start up turns into a bust you must come to this comment (If youre a founder or an employee of said company do not internalise this im just a guy eating a banana and watching youtube during my lunch break)
