We studied the science behind preventive health and curated innovative wellness services unlike the ones currently available elsewhere. Our unique proposition is that we are using advanced diagnostic technologies to customize and bring out a thorough understanding of an individual’s current health concerns. At AIG, we have gone one step further and would also be studying an individual’s whole DNA. This in turn shall enable us to predict, to a fair degree of accuracy, the potential health risks that an individual may face in the future.”

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. D Nageshwar Reddy, said, “We are extremely glad and privileged to have Sri Harish Rao with us today, a man with a great sense of healthcare for the opening of our wellness centre. The government’s focus on health is going to make Telangana self-sufficient in terms of healthcare infrastructure and services.” Dr. Reddy further added that “Our Wellness Centre is not just a place for general master health check-ups but with genomic technology we can precisely know an individual’s risk factor for diseases, response to certain drugs, allergies, diet and nutritional requirements, among others. With all this vital information at our hand, we can decide specific tests, its frequency, customize diets, prescribe specific medicine and in general, customize treatment for each individual. This is what is called personalized, precision medicine, which can predict the occurrence of diseases in any healthy individual over the next 5 years.”
