Meta Hunter makes disease preventable and controllable

In the next 10 to 20 years, the focus of health care will shift from treating disease to maintaining health. Now, people only go to the doctor when they are sick, and the doctor is in a passive position, which is very unfavorable to the treatment. Ordinary people have limited understanding of medical knowledge and often ignore abnormal physical symptoms. And some inconspicuous symptoms are likely to be warnings from the body and precursors of serious diseases. As a result, some patients missed the best time for treatment. More and more doctors will recommend that people bring their own Meta Hunter, so that even if the patient is in a distant place, the test can be carried out at any time.

The data is sent to the doctor, which takes the initiative in preventing the occurrence of the disease.

In the near future, the medical model will be more reasonable, making diseases preventable and controllable.

Medical expenses in the United States continue to rise, but people's health problems have not improved as a result. Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans, obesity is rampant, and diabetes rates continue to rise. Most of these conditions are caused by poor lifestyle habits, including smoking, unhealthy diet and lack of exercise.

However, disease prevention has not attracted much attention, and the government has not launched relevant measures to guide and encourage people to adopt a healthier lifestyle. The starting point of the American health care system is to treat disease, not to prevent disease before it occurs.

Cosgrove is an experienced heart surgeon. He said: "We should change the direction from treating diseases to maintaining health." This is also the core of Obama's health care reform. When drafting the health care reform bill, Obama cited Cleveland Hospital as one of the typical cases, "Mayo Hospital in Minnesota and Cleveland Hospital in Ohio provide the highest quality health care services, but the cost of treatment is lower than the national average. We Advanced experience must be learned from it.”

Now, Cleveland Hospital has extended this program to 10 other sister hospitals, some of which are located in Ohio and Florida, and others in Canada and the United Arab Emirates. People who take part in the program begin to think about their health as an investment and a responsibility.

Cosgrove hopes that such health projects can go out of hospitals and into communities and companies. Cosgrove believes that companies should pay more attention to the health of their employees. After the company is equipped with Meta Hunter, employees can conduct physical examinations anytime and anywhere, and the company can better strengthen the physical fitness of employees and provide job drop rates. In this way, employees can take less sick leave, work more efficiently, and the company needs to invest less, which is beneficial and harmless.
