Longevity science is advancing rapidly. Technology enables personalized interventions based on your biology, potentially adding decades to healthy lifespan.
The Science
Aging involves cellular damage, telomere shortening, epigenetic changes. Technology can now measure these processes and intervene before disease develops.
Key Longevity Factors
- Genetics (30% of lifespan)
- Sleep quality (impacts all systems)
- Exercise (prevents multiple diseases)
- Nutrition (fuel quality matters)
- Stress management (chronic stress accelerates aging)
- Social connections (profound impact)
- Purpose and meaning
Technology’s Role
Wearables measure key metrics. AI analyzes personalized data. Precision interventions target individual biology rather than population averages.
Realistic Expectations
Technology can add 10-20 healthy years if optimized comprehensively. But basics (sleep, exercise, relationships) matter more than fancy gadgets.
The Future
Biotech advances (senolytic drugs, senolytics, stem cells) might reverse aging. Technology enables tracking and optimization to maximize your healthspan.
