What You Should Know:– Prenuvo, a provider of proactive whole-body MRI scans, has presented groundbreaking research at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2024 Annual Meeting, revealing a significant link between Type 2 diabetes and brain volume loss.– The new study highlights the potential of whole-body MRI screening to uncover the hidden impacts of chronic conditions on brain health.Diabetes and Brain Aging: New InsightsThe study, involving over 650 participants, is one of the largest MRI-based analyses to date examining the relationship between Type 2 diabetes and brain aging. Using Prenuvo’s whole-body MRI scans and AI-powered analysis, researchers found that individuals with Type 2 diabetes exhibit reduced brain volume, particularly in the white matter of the occipital lobe, the region responsible for processing visual information and spatial reasoning.Research Key FindingsWhite matter most affected: Significant reductions in white matter volume were observed in diabetic patients, indicating an increased risk for brain aging.Significant reductions in white matter volume were observed in diabetic patients, indicating an increased risk for brain aging. Association with neurological conditions: The observed brain changes suggest a potential link between diabetes and cognitive decline, including memory impairment.The observed brain changes suggest a potential link between diabetes and cognitive decline, including memory impairment. Importance of early intervention: The findings underscore the need for early detection and management of diabetes to preserve both metabolic and cognitive health.“This is the first time that we’ve been able to pinpoint the areas of the brain most impacted by diabetes, so physicians and patients can take specific actions to enhance those brain areas by doing cognitive exercises,” said Sam Hashemi, VP of Artificial Intelligence & Research at Prenuvo. “These results also provide evidence that we should not limit screening for this chronic disease to blood and organ-specific tests, and instead perform a more comprehensive screening.”

With skiers and snowboarders specifically in mind, Ikon Pass has partnered with Prenuvo to offer pass holders a $400 discount on full-body MRI scans that are designed not only to check in on known issues (such as how that torn ligament might be looking) but potentially screen for early-stage future ones like cancer, aneurysms and other diseases.

Ezra uses Ai to produce detailed reports following MRI scans. The yellow coloring indicates a “non-urgent follow-up.” (Ezra Photo)There’s a recent trend of venture-backed startups offering full-body MRI scans, promising to help consumers detect potential signs of cancer by paying upwards of $2,500 and laying in a high-tech tube for an hour. Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and other online influencers tout the benefits of these companies. One of the startups, Prenuvo, says that 1 in 20 scans result in a potentially life-saving diagnosis. Another company, Ezra, says it has helped 6% of its members identify potential cancer early.But some medical experts worry that the scans can add unnecessary costs and concerns — in other words, more information about your body could be less helpful than it sounds.I recently went through the scan process with Ezra, a New York-based startup founded in 2018. The company in February raised $21 million in an investment round led by Amir Dan Rubin, the former CEO of Amazon-owned primary care provider One Medical

This is good news: We need more companies attacking cancer from novel angles, including AI-enabled early detection. And who knows, maybe one of these will become a trillion-dollar company? — AnnaScaling early cancer detectionY Combinator’s newest request for startups (RFS) is well worth reading, and not just because it’s been a while since the incubator shared the ideas and categories its partners “would like to see more people working on.” As my colleague Sarah Perez noted, YC hadn’t updated its full list since 2018.Taken as a whole, YC’s RFS is a great way to sense the zeitgeist; the list includes AI of course, as well as climate tech, defense tech and more. But zooming in on individual requests is also a worthwhile exercise.One of the requests that captured my interest calls for “a way to end cancer.” Written by YC group partner Surbhi Sarna, a former medical device company CEO, it focuses on MRIs. “Since most cancers are now treatable if caught early enough,” she wrote, “this technology would dramatically reduce cancer deaths if rolled out widely and affordably.”My first thought was that MRI startups already exist. Just a few days earlier, New York–based Ezra raised a fresh round of $21 million — and we are talking about a team that TechCrunch first covered in 2018
