Summary

Story summary

Andrew Lacy founded Prenuvo in 2018 to provide preventative healthcare through full-body MRIs.
The company operates 26 clinics in North America, Australia, and the UK, offering scans that can detect early-stage cancers and other conditions.
Patients pay $2,500 out-of-pocket, which Lacy argues is cheaper than traditional hospital costs, and he hopes insurers will eventually cover these scans.
Critics express concerns about potential health anxiety, but Lacy states that less than 1% of patients report unnecessary worry after receiving results.
Prenuvo prioritizes patient comfort by allowing them to watch Netflix during scans.
