Seema Alexander and Ainsley MacLean explore a future where disease isn't treated late but detected early sometimes years before symptoms ever appear.

From AI-powered imaging to precision diagnosis at the cellular level, we examine how technology is quietly shifting healthcare from reactive care to proactive prevention.

Early detection could save lives, restore time to doctors, and change outcomes forever.
But the systems, guardrails, and trust required to support it are still catching up.
-------------------------------------------
So we explored:
-How AI enables earlier diagnosis at population scale
-Why precision medicine starts at the cellular level
-How doctors regain time for patient care and life
-Why prevention could matter more than treatment
-Where systems still fail despite powerful technology
-------------------------------------------
The hard truth: early detection saves lives — but only if systems, ethics, and accountability evolve just as fast.
