A case in Bengaluru illustrates the dangers of self-diagnosis through online resources. A 42-year-old man, after receiving an anaemia diagnosis from a routine health check-up, turned to Google for solutions instead of consulting a doctor. This led to a delayed diagnosis of colon cancer. Dr. Sunil Havannavar, an internal medicine consultant, warns that over 50% of individuals undergoing health check-ups rely on AI tools or online searches for interpreting their results. He emphasizes that health tests should be tailored to individual needs based on factors like age and family history. For those over 40, specific screenings for heart disease and cancer are crucial, while younger individuals should only undergo extensive tests if they have relevant risk factors. The rising trend of preventive healthcare is evident, with 8,068 health check-ups recorded at Manipal Hospitals in March 2026, up from 4,474 in February. This increase is partly due to health insurance policies covering these packages, encouraging proactive health management. Experts stress that while technology aids access to information, it cannot replace the need for professional medical interpretation.
