Most people spend their lunch breaks grabbing a sandwich or going for a walk. But soon it could be possible to get a full-body MRI scan which detects the earliest stages of cancer during your lunch hour, thanks to AI. Health tech pioneer Ezra has launched its screening service in the UK, marking a major expansion beyond the US. Their AI-powered scans currently last an hour and cover 13 organs, with the added option of an extra lung CT scan and heart disease screening. As cancer rates are rising – especially among young people – the company say they are the best defence against the disease. With early detection, treatment can start earlier and prognosis improves dramatically.

Doctors believe Artificial Intelligence is now saving lives, after a major advancement in breast cancer screenings. A.I. is detecting early signs of the disease, in some cases years before doctors would find the cancer on a traditional scan. Meet Ezra, the full-body cancer screener that just might save your life. Combining MRI imaging technology with artificial intelligence, Ezra scans for possible cancer in the human body in up to 13 organs. It also monitors for hundreds of other conditions, such as brain aneurysms or fatty liver disease.

In March 2004, when René Koiter was 19, his twin brother Michel came down with a fever. René and Michel were students in the Netherlands--Michel at the Utrecht School of the Arts, René at the University of Utrecht--and they were doing freelance design work for Blizzard Entertainment, a video game developer about to launch its marquee franchise: World of Warcraft. Michel's fever wasn't supposed to be fatal. Michel was young and healthy--he and René were regulars at their local Taekwondo center. But a few days later, Michel's heart started failing, and René and their father rushed to the hospital to save him.
