Utilizing Precision Preventive Diagnostics in Longevity Medicine

Today’s modern medicine focuses on disease, rather than prevention and incentivizing true healthcare. The “one size fits all” that human population is highly diverse and that, what might be beneficial for one person, can be, approach in contemporary preventative health field, do not take into consideration that human population is highly diverse and that, what might be beneficial for one person, can be, neutral or even harmful for another. Precision diagnostics of individual aging signatures are therefore a neutral or even harmful for another. Precision diagnostics of individual aging signatures are therefore a much-needed step towards personalized preventative health intervention that can extend human health span. Dr. Ana Stankovic at the summit will introduce important approaches that combines predictive modeling, deep learning, and explainable AI, leading to a powerful and transparent diagnostic platform in the field by performing deep phenotyping of diverse human cohorts. Likewise, the research and session of Dr. Stankovic is divided into three programs: Functional Aging, Functional Organ, and Preventative Risk Stratification.
