Disease found before it becomes disease: the flagship diagnostic day
VIP AI-Guided Diagnostics is the most advanced tier at minus10med in Athens. In one private day you complete whole body MRI, coronary calcium scoring, DEXA, exome sequencing, full cardiopulmonary testing and dermatological mapping. An AI layer fuses the data, physicians interpret every finding, and results arrive within 72 hours.
What is AI-guided diagnostics, and does a doctor still decide?
AI-guided means that software reads first and a physician reads last. Every image, sequence and biomarker set passes through analytical models trained to flag patterns a human eye can miss on a single pass, particularly small interval changes between one year and the next. Nothing is communicated to you, and nothing enters your protocol, until a physician has examined the flag and formed a clinical opinion about it.
This ordering matters. Machine reading is excellent at recall and poor at judgement; it will surface a shadow without knowing whether the shadow is worth your attention. Physician reading is excellent at judgement and limited by time. Running them in sequence gives you the sensitivity of the first and the restraint of the second, which is the only responsible way to hand someone a whole body scan.
What is included in the VIP diagnostic day?
The tier is built on two pillars: detect disease at its earliest biological stage, and identify the underlying pathology that would eventually produce it.
- Whole body MRI and coronary artery calcium CT scoring
- DEXA bone density and body composition scanning
- Whole exome sequencing across cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative risk
- Epigenetic biological age and pace-of-aging profiling
- Full cardiopulmonary testing: VO2 Max, CPET, echocardiography and stress ECG
- AI-enhanced full-body dermatological mapping
- Gut microbiome analysis and blood-based early cancer detection panels
- Cognitive performance, stress resilience and sleep architecture analysis
- AI data fusion across every domain, tracked longitudinally against your own baseline
Whole body MRI uses no ionising radiation. The coronary calcium CT does, at a dose comparable to a few months of natural background exposure, and it is included because a calcium score is one of the few numbers that reliably reclassifies cardiovascular risk in people whose blood work looks unremarkable, a role recognised in the ACC/AHA cholesterol guideline.
How is the day organised, and how private is it?
One dedicated physician accompanies you for one private day. Scheduling is exclusive: you are not moved between waiting rooms shared with other patients, and the sequence is arranged so that fasted work happens first and imaging follows without gaps. Results are delivered within 72 hours, in person or by secure video if you are travelling.
Aftercare is part of the tier rather than an upsell: an annual re-scan cadence, quarterly remote reviews, and direct access to the physician who read your data in the first place. Discretion is absolute; nothing is shared with any third party, insurer or employer.
Who is this tier for, and how do I apply?
It suits people whose downside risk is asymmetric: founders and executives whose organisations depend on their health, patients with a family history that has already produced a diagnosis in a sibling or parent, and anyone who has decided that finding a problem five years early is worth a day of their time. It is not the right starting point for someone who simply wants a first look at their metabolism; the five-part Longevity Panel answers that question at a fraction of the effort.
The tier is by application. A short discovery conversation establishes whether the scope is appropriate for you before anything is booked, and pricing is confirmed at that point rather than published as a headline figure, because the imaging set is adjusted to your risk profile. Begin by requesting a private consultation with Dr. Erietta Galani.
What happens after the findings arrive?
Two outcomes are possible and both are useful. Either something is found, in which case you are referred into treatment years earlier than symptoms would have allowed, or nothing is found, in which case you now hold a quantified baseline and the protocol shifts entirely to optimisation: mitochondrial support, cardiovascular training zones set from your own CPET data, hormonal correction where indicated, and the regenerative therapies described on our treatments page.
Where the standard tiers sit relative to this one, and what each of them costs, is set out on the programs and pricing page.
