How we work
How does Ahead Health compare to other providers?
When choosing a preventive health check-up, a few things are worth comparing:
- Protocol design: Our MRI protocol was built by MRI physicists and radiologists to capture maximum diagnostic data in a shorter scan time. A well-designed protocol matters more than raw scan duration. - Blood work included: Our Advanced and Pro packages combine imaging with an 80+ biomarker blood panel, including markers like ApoB and fasting insulin that standard Swiss panels typically exclude. Many competitors offer imaging only. - Integrated reporting: Imaging and blood results are cross-referenced in a single interactive report with a personalized action plan, not delivered as separate documents. - Clinical setting: Scans are performed at established partner clinics (including Hirslanden) with board-certified radiologists, not standalone imaging centers. - Swiss medical license: Ahead Health is a licensed Swiss medical institution, which matters for data continuity and regulatory oversight.
