One private day. A complete structured baseline, read by a physician.
VIP AI-Guided Diagnostics is the most advanced tier at minus10med in Athens. In one private day you complete whole body MRI, exome sequencing, full cardiopulmonary testing and dermatological mapping. Examinations that use ionising radiation are prescribed individually and charged separately. 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: testing that can identify findings before they would normally come to attention, with the limits of each test stated, and establishing where your physiology actually stands today, across imaging, laboratory and functional testing.
- Whole body MRI
- 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, where indicated, blood-based multi-cancer testing.
- Cognitive performance, stress resilience and sleep architecture analysis
- AI data fusion across every domain, tracked longitudinally against your own baseline
A normal result does not exclude disease. These tests do not replace the national screening programmes for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer, which you should continue to attend. Broad testing produces incidental findings that need further investigation, and that investigation has its own burden and risk.
We discuss this with you before, not after.
Examinations using ionising radiation
Examinations using ionising radiation are never included automatically. They are prescribed individually, after clinical assessment, only where the expected benefit for you outweighs the exposure, and the reasoning is recorded. You may decline and still receive the rest of your assessment.
This includes coronary calcium CT and DEXA. They are referred by a physician and charged separately at the published rate.
Whole body MRI uses no ionising radiation. Where a coronary calcium score is indicated for you specifically, your physician will explain why, record the reasoning, and arrange it separately. A calcium score is one of the few numbers that reliably reclassifies cardiovascular risk in people whose blood work looks unremarkable, which is why it is offered, but it is offered on indication and not by default.
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. Processing genetic data for health or life insurance purposes is prohibited by Greek law, and we will not do it under any circumstances.
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 a complete structured baseline 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 a finding is investigated on its merits, and where it needs treatment you are referred, or nothing is found, in which case you now hold a quantified baseline and the protocol shifts entirely to optimisation: 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.
