“He observed that when we build rockets we put over 10,000 sensors on them to understand the functioning of all parts of the spacecraft and to enable prediction of mechanical dysfunction and systems failure before it happens... Yet with human health, we adhere to an opposite paradigm. We wait for the human body to develop fulminant systems failure, which shows up as symptoms and meeting diagnostic thresholds for disease-specific biomarkers.” — Casey Means
