Preventive healthcare is on the rise.
Healthcare is increasingly embracing "holistic" and "preventive" practices. Dr. Samantha Decombel from Fitness Genes explains: “I’ve spoken with functional medicine doctors, many transitioning from the NHS, who advocate, ‘we must stop pulling people from rivers and instead investigate why they’re falling in.’ This perspective underscores the importance of prevention.”
Preventive medicine encompasses a broad range of tests, lifestyle adjustments, treatments, and protocols that can identify risks and prevent illness. It can also support those with existing conditions from worsening. From home health testing services to platforms connecting physical therapists with clients, we预见 a surge in individuals taking charge of their well-being in 2025.
“By addressing the shortcomings of overstretched healthcare services, advanced facilities integrating movement, medicine, and innovative treatments are transforming the conventional healthcare approach from reactive to proactive,” says Dr. Enayat, founder of the HUM2N longevity clinic.
However, this trend has a downside. As public healthcare struggles to meet needs, preventive medicine becomes essential to avoid health issues the NHS might not support. Zoe recently reduced prices on their health monitoring app to encourage preventive nutrition and prevent a “full-scale national health crisis”.
