Start with risk, not gadgets
Age, symptoms, family history, medication, prior results and goals should shape testing.
LONGEVITY LENS / DIAGNOSTICS
Start with the question, not the machine.
A serious diagnostic programme begins with risk, history and a decision pathway. The premium is not the number of tests; it is the quality of selection, interpretation and follow-up.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Four questions
that sharpen the brief.
Prefer interpretable baselines
Blood pressure, standard laboratory testing, clinically appropriate imaging and functional measures can be more actionable than novelty biomarkers.
Ask what changes next
Every test should have a plausible next step. If neither a normal nor abnormal result changes management, question why it is being ordered.
Plan follow-up before testing
A useful baseline becomes more valuable when repeat timing and ownership of follow-up are defined.
