Fountain Life, a health technology company, offers an AI coronary artery scan that purports to detect heart attack risk three, five or even 10 years before symptoms begin. "In medical school, we’re not taught how to keep people healthy — we’re taught to treat the symptoms." "It is life-saving, and it is a huge blessing and an unbelievable breakthrough." "Ultimately, we want to lower costs and improve outcomes so people can live long, robust, healthy lives." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
The simple outpatient procedure takes less than an hour, said Bill Kapp, CEO of Fountain Life in Florida, who is also an orthopedic surgeon with a background in molecular immunology and genetics.
