Medic wants to give doctors a head start
Scans. Records. Biology. Medic wants to bring them together so doctors can spot disease earlier. Its hospital-first plan puts a familiar problem at the center of an ambitious AI proposition: turning information into a useful next step.
DexaFit
DexaFit is a health-testing company that turns a quick, low-radiation full-body DXA scan into a broad picture of a person's health - body composition, bone density, visceral fat and metabolic markers. Its AI arm, DexaFit Dx, layers machine learning on top of those same scans to screen for major chronic diseases such as coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes, aiming to catch them early and non-invasively. Founded in Chicago in 2011 and now operating dozens of centers, DexaFit pairs in-person testing with an app that translates results into longevity scores, disease-risk estimates and trackable goals.
