"In about 5 years" is often code for, "It is really cool, and it seems feasible, but I have no idea how difficult it really is."

Also, we have the basic capability for this now. Regular blood testing, etc. Get a physical. Get blood work every 3-6 months. Its just basic stats for your body. I do this. To me it is like checking the oil levels in a car. Why would you not collect this type of data for your body, which is arguably one of the most important "possessions" a person can own?

What's included in the blood testing?

I'm in Canada, and the idea of routine blood testing for young people (I'm 29) doesn't seem to have caught on.

That's because our medical system isn't for-profit, so we only get blood tests when they're medically necessary and not just for convenience.
