I've spent 8 yrs researching a bit into the area where Daniel Ek is doing his startup because of a personal health issue and so i think this is a powerful move in the right direction. ie. i think scanning the human body and using AI to crunch the data and draw out the patterns will draw out amazing conclusions that go against what we currently think and believe.

ie. i can do the same to a certain extent just visually by looking at a person's body and face... not too differently from what an osteopath can do. Because its just patterns that you start to see over a period of years.

The problem i have with his startup is.. ok so you find the indicator.. and then what? what do you do about it?

And this is where im quite sure they'll fall flat. Because modern health still doesnt know what to do about it. Pharmaceuticals, surgeries and the like are not the answer. They address symptoms.

When Daniel figures that part out.. hopefully he will begin on what i consider to be the true challenge. Understanding the root cause. Which is something i personally have spent the last 8 yrs investigating.

And its complex as hell.
