Despite advances in healthcare, individuals still face significant challenges in predicting and preventing diseases. Existing medical services and conventional diagnostic methods often detect illnesses too late, leading to reactive acute responses rather than proactive health management. A reactive health management approach focuses on treating diseases or health issues only after symptoms have appeared or an event, like a heart attack or stroke, has occurred. For instance, when someone has a heart attack, doctors work to save their life, but typically no earlier tests are done to assess potential markers of cardiovascular disease that could have indicated risks long before the event.

On the other hand, a proactive health monitoring and management approach involves regularly monitoring health markers to assess risks for developing various ailments, allowing for intervention through lifestyle changes, medications, or even surgery if necessary. In a proactive approach, we aim to regularly assess health and wellness indicators in order to avoid, monitor, or manage diseases early on. This strategy can help individuals live a longer and healthier life.
