Overview
Join us with a panel of speakers from industry and academia to discover what role AI and big data will play in longevity research.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and big data has given rise to ground-breaking possibilities in healthcare. The transformative potential of AI and big data analytics is reshaping the landscape of medicine, offering new avenues for longevity solutions. Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in increasing life expectancy worldwide. This upward trend can be attributed to various factors, including advancements in healthcare technologies and access to improved medical treatments. The root causes of aging, however, remain unaddressed while population aging increasingly puts pressure on health care costs. New approaches to this problem are needed. The combination of AI and big data analytics applied to longevity research is one such approach, which promises the discovery of new therapeutics that could have tremendous benefits through the slowing of aging. Join us with the panel of speakers to discover what role AI and big data roles can play in longevity research.
