    The Future of Preventative MRI | The Further, Faster Podcast

    In this episode of The Further, Faster podcast, Bede Moore speaks with Andrew Barnes, Co-Founder of Go1 about his pivot into health-tech with OneMRI. The venture began when Andrew and co-founder Vu Tran "tinkered" by purchasing an MRI machine, only to face a surge of interest after a viral Kim Kardashian post. This revealed a massive gap in the medical system for proactive, radiation-free screening capable of identifying over 500 conditions. Andrew discusses the "first principles" approach to developing scanning protocols and his belief that patient agency is the next frontier in medicine.Andrew outlines a bold vision for taking this Australian innovation to the global stage with support from investors like Antler.
