What is The Age of Scientific Wellness : Why the Future of Medicine Is Personalized, Predictive, Data-rich, and in Your Hands about?

Taking us to the cutting edge of the new frontier of medicine, a visionary biotechnologist and a pathbreaking researcher show how we can optimize our health in ways that were previously unimaginable. We are on the cusp of a paradigm shift in the delivery of health care as major diseases are being challenged in fresh and unexpected ways. Using predictive technologies, applied immunotherapy, and genomically informed disease prevention, scientists are working closely with patients to dramatically extend their "healthspan"--the number of healthy years before disease sets in. Leroy Hood, whose innovations made possible the sequencing of the human genome, and Nathan Price, whose work on systems biology is opening new pathways to Alzheimer's treatment and prevention, take us on a thrilling journey to this new frontier of medicine. Today, most doctors wait for clinical symptoms to appear before they act. Countless patients are prescribed medication and subjected to invasive procedures from which they derive no benefit. We must move beyond this reactive, hit-or-miss approach to usher in real precision care or "scientific wellness." Fusing information gleaned from our personal genomic profil
