AI tech aims to help patients catch

disease early, even ‘reverse their
biological age’
Prenuvo and Cenegenics team up to offer full-body MRI scans to detect hundreds of conditions in patients

New Jersey biotech company uses artificial intelligence for drug development
PsychoGenics CEO Emer Leahy of Paramus, New Jersey, explains how the first potential AI-discovered treatment for schizophrenia was developed through
machine learning. Fox News Digital spoke with her.

In humanity's quest to live longer, healthier lives, technology — particularly artificial

intelligence — is playing an ever-bigger role and expanding into more areas of health care.

A California-based medical technology company named Prenuvo, for instance, offers full-
ody MRI scans that leverage AI to screen patients for over 500 conditions — including
tumors, aneurysms and cysts — in less than an hour.

Now, Prenuvo is announcing a partnership with Cenegenics, a Las Vegas-based company

that offers "personalized performance health age management" for its patients. It will
monitor their bloodwork for over 90 biomarkers in an attempt to slow the biological aging
process.

With the partnership, patients of Cenegics will have access to Prenuvo’s full-body AI
scans, which will help fill in any gaps and provide doctors with a better picture of patients’
health.

"We are driven by a shared vision of enhancing both healthspan and lifespan in our pursuit
of transforming the health care paradigm from reactive to proactive," said Prenuvo co-
and CEO Andrew Lacy in a press release announcing the partnership.

"By combining Prenuvo’s advanced diagnostic-quality imaging capabilities with

Cenegenics’ steadfast dedication to healthy longevity we’re helping patients get data- ,

riven insight into their baseline health and make lifestyle modifications before it’s too
late."

Cenegenics' patients will have access to Prenuvo’s whole-body scans at participating

locations, including in Los Angeles Silicon Valley, New York, Dallas, Chicago and Boca
,

Raton.

Cenegenics has collected more than 25 years of longitudinal data on its patients, CEO
Kristy Berry told Fox News Digital in an emailed statement.

"The biomarkers found in our blood provide amazing insights about our health, wellness
and the likelihood of disease due to cellular inflammation," Berry said.

"Our biomarkers tell the tale of a

lifetime of decisions we have made
with regard to nutrition, exercise and
sleep."

"As we age, our biomarkers tell the tale of a lifetime of decisions we have made with
regard to nutrition, exercise and sleep."

Cenegenics aims to help patients "reverse their biological age" by working with their
performance health team to achieve biomarker results that are equal to a person many
years — sometimes decades — younger than they are. This is achieved through a strict
program of nutrition, exercise, sleep, nutraceuticals and prescription medicines Berry ,

explained.

On average, Prenuvo scans alert one in every 20 patients to a life-saving diagnosis. The medical technology company is
headquartered in California. (Prenuvo)

Now, with the Prenuvo partnership, Cenegenics will fill in any gaps in patient data through
the use of AI scanning.

"We are actively exploring how AI can assist in the recommendations our physicians make
to reverse biological age," Berry said. "We see AI as a valuable addition to the experience
and expertise we have accumulated over our history and look forward to the additional
insights it can provide."

A focus on early disease detection

Prenuvo’s AI technology aims to improve patient outcomes by catching warning signs that
are too small to be detected even by the best medically trained eye, Lacy, the CEO, told Fox
News Digital in an email.

DISEASES: 'MORE MEANINGFUL' INTERACTION

"Everything we know about disease is based on diagnosing it at a chronic or advanced

stage," he said.

With AI, he added, "we are working toward identifying the early beginnings of disease with
the hope that we can intervene even earlier than we thought possible."

Prenuvo’s scans are trained to detect the early stages of disease progression in every
organ, from measuring the curve angles of every vertebra of the spine to evaluating the
cortical ridges outside the brain, Lacy explained.

detect the early stages of disease progression in every organ. (Prenuvo)

"We believe that using AI to quantify very small changes over time will enable us to
determine normal aging and how the people we scan are tracking, organ by organ," he
said.

On average, Prenuvo scans alert one in every 20 patients to a life-saving diagnosis.

Mona, a mom of two children under 2 years old in the East Bay of California, is one
example. (She did not share her last name.)

A couple of weeks after having her second baby, she was feeling a lot of fatigue and
continued to gain weight.

"We are investing carefully in AI in

innovative and scientifically based
ways."

"Something just felt off," she said in a video interview provided by Prenuvo.

With a recommendation, she got a full-body MRI scan at one of Prenuvo’s locations. The
young mother was shocked when the results showed that she had thyroid cancer .

"It just wasn’t even on my radar," the mom said.

Because her cancer was caught early, it was treatable. After surgery and lifestyle changes ,

she is now cancer-free and thriving.

Another patient was Ryan Crownholm, a former military member who ran a demolition
company in Los Angeles. He’d been exposed to toxins over the years and chose to get a
Prenuvo scan.

"I really had no expectations of finding anything," he said in an interview with Prenuvo.

Crownholm was stunned when his doctor called to tell him the scan had detected a large
mass on his kidney. He’d had no symptoms at all.

YEARS, STUDY FINDS

After a biopsy, the doctors determined it was stage 3 cancer.

"For me, to catch it so early, it’s been a blessing," he said. "It was as simple as having my
kidney removed and going on with my life."

‘Investing carefully’
As AI continues to grow in popularity, Lacy pointed out that there can be risks of
inaccurate claims about what the technology can do.

"While there is a lot of excitement in the field of AI to replace the diagnosis that
radiologists make, what we are most actively excited about … is how AI can help us
understand early signs of disease progression and quantify a person’s health trajectory,"
he said.

In the health care arena, he stressed, it’s essential to use these technologies to add value
and diagnostic accuracy.

"We know this will take time, so we are investing carefully in AI in innovative and
scientifically based ways."
