Personalised preventive medicine: the future of wellbeing

Introduction: prevention, not just cure

At German Clinic Marbella, we firmly believe in personalised preventive medicine, based on science, data and experience. Because every person is different, and so should be the way you take care of your health.

Traditionally, we went to the doctor when something was wrong. But that is changing. Today, quality medicine does not wait for symptoms to appear: it anticipates, adapts and prevents.

What is preventive medicine?

It is a branch of medicine that focuses on preventing diseases from developing, detecting them in their early stages or reducing their complications.

It is divided into three levels:

1. Primary prevention: preventing the disease from occurring (vaccinations, lifestyle, control of risk factors).
2. Secondary prevention: detecting diseases in the asymptomatic phase (screening, analyses, imaging).
3. Tertiary prevention: preventing complications in people who already have a disease

What does ‘personalised’ preventive medicine mean?

Each patient has a different risk according to:

• Your genetics
• Your family history
• Your lifestyle
• Your environment
• Your values and priorities

Therefore, an effective prevention plan cannot be the same for everyone. At German Clinic we design personalised protocols based on your clinical data, history, age and expectations.

What does a complete preventive health check-up include?

At German Clinic Marbella, personalised medical check-ups can include:

🧬 Advanced analytics

• Complete cardiovascular profile
• Tumour markers (PSA, CA 125, CEA…)
• Hormonal tests
• Genetic panels (hereditary risk)

🩻 Diagnostic imaging

• Abdominal and thyroid ultrasound
• Low-radiation CT scan (early detection of lung cancer)
• 3D mammography or breast MRI
• High-precision colonoscopy

❤️ Functional assessment

• Electrocardiogram + stress test
• Spirometry (lung function)
• Body composition analysis

🧠 Mental and cognitive health

• Memory test (Alzheimer screening)
• Stress and anxiety assessment
• Preventive psychological intervention

👩‍⚕️ Comprehensive medical consultation

• Review by internist
• Focus on habits, sleep, nutrition, exercise
• Annual follow-up plan

Who is this preventive medicine approach aimed at?

Everyone, but especially:

• Adults over 40 years of age
• People with a family history of cancer or cardiovascular disease
• Patients who have suffered strokes or heart attacks
• Executives or expatriates who want to take overall control of their health
• Healthy people who simply want to stay that way

Real Case: Adapted Preventive Medicine Plan

👨‍💼 Thomas, 52, German executive in Marbella

He had never had symptoms, but his father died of a heart attack at 55. At German Clinic, he was diagnosed with genetic dyslipidemia and subclinical carotid plaque. Thanks to early intervention with diet, exercise, and medication, he has avoided a cardiovascular event.

What are the real benefits?

• Fewer chronic diseases
• Earlier (and treatable) diagnoses
• Longer life expectancy and quality of life
• Reduced drug use
• Weight, blood pressure, and metabolism control
• Emotional tranquility

Is prevention expensive?

Prevention is not an expense, it’s an investment. A complete checkup can cost less than a hospital stay. And much less than cancer or heart treatment if detected late.

At German Clinic, we offer:

• Plans tailored to your budget
• Option for partial or specialty check-ups
• Comprehensive reports with medical guidance
