Continuous Health Screening

A good article this weekend about improvements in health monitoring and making medicine have more of a preventative sign stage.

The example I always think of is the dentist, we all go for 6 monthly checkups. Yet teeth are the one thing that have a pretty good early warning system. Not so with the rest of us, we turn up to the doctor when we think something is up.

There is an expense to all this, and whether the initial outlay is possible I think the long term returns must be worth it.

Dangers too I suppose, imagine your blood pressure being linked to your NI contributions.
