When the human genome was sequenced, we thought we’d get the recipe for human life. What we got was just the list of ingredients. To understand what is going on in your body, we need to understand the proteins that interact with your DNA. This frontier is called proteomics. Genetics, the immune system, epigenetics, environment, infection, what you eat and breath and touch affects the constellation of proteins in you – and they in turn affect everything about your health. The onset, progression, comorbidities & intersections of disease. All that data is right there, in the proteins swirling around in your bloodstream. What if we could learn to read them like a map?
Alden Scientific has developed the most advanced protocol for modern proteomic assays. This means they can draw blood and measure the levels for 5500 different proteins, enough data to form a high resolution, digital representation of your health state, risk of disease, and in time, intervention effectiveness. Today, they can measure your risk for nearly 300 different conditions including heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Alden’s models can forecast your risk of being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in the next 10 years.
All from a single blood test.
Health care inverts. You’ll get a test like this every year that creates a digital model of you. AI will predict your health for the next decade. Simulations will be run on this individual model to find the best interventions for any health issues. Nothing like this has ever been possible before but it will become the norm, this decade.
