After losing both of his parents to cancer, Tom set out to challenge a healthcare system that often waits for symptoms instead of identifying risk early. What began in Deerfield Beach, Florida, has grown into a multi-location preventative imaging company serving communities across the state. Life Imaging Fla focuses on preventative heart and full-body screenings. These services give people access to advanced imaging that is typically only approved once symptoms appear. The goal is straightforward: identify disease earlier, when people still have time, options, and control.

For Guardant co-CEO Helmy Eltoukhy, that invisibility looked like an engineering challenge. What if cancer could be detected early - through blood tests - before you even knew it was there?
