Draft:Longevity Medicine

Longevity Medicine is an AI-driven, specialized branch of precision medicine with a primary focus on promoting and optimizing human healthspan. Drawing from diverse disciplines such as geriatric medicine, biogerontology, geroscience, preventive medicine, personalized medicine, precision medicine, and deep longevity science, this field aims to target a patient's biological age throughout their lifespan.

The objective is to reduce the gap between healthspan and lifespan. To achieve this longevity physicians design interventions based on pateints current biological age towards their optimal maximum biological and physical performance, utilizing various biomarkers of aging

Education in Longevity Medicine
The pioneering initiative in Longevity Medicine education is the development of the "Longevity Medicine 101: Introduction to Longevity Medicine" and "Longevity Medicine 201: Advanced Course" These courses were collaboratively created by leading Artificial Intelligence (AI) professionals, practicing physicians, biogerontology experts, and geroscientists namely Dr. Alex Zhavoronkov, Dr. Evelyne Bischof, Dr. Alexey Moskalev and Dr. Morten Scheibye-Knudsen. As the first free and CME-accredited online courses in Longevity Medicine, these programs aim to serve as a credible source of education, training, and upskilling for healthcare professionals.

Curriculum Highlights
The Longevity Medicine courses offer a comprehensive curriculum designed for clinicians, scientists, and healthcare professionals. Covering topics ranging from biogerontology and geroscience to AI-based medicine, the courses provide a solid foundation in translational aging research. Key components include terminology, theories, and hallmarks of aging, exploration of basic aging pathways, and an understanding of mechanisms behind potential geroprotective interventions. The curriculum also delves into the intricacies of aging clocks and related topics

These courses are a vital step toward equipping healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complexities of Longevity Medicine, fostering advancements in the field and contributing to the collective goal of extending human healthspan.

International Outreach
Longevity Medicine Courses by Longevity Education Hub are available in 5 langaues: English, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and Indonesian.

Societies
The Longevity Medicine ecosystem thrives on collaborative efforts from diverse entities committed to advancing research, education, and interventions aimed at promoting healthy aging. One prominent organization contributing to this ecosystem is the Healthy Longevity Medicine Society (HLMS) a medical doctor organization dedicated to fostering advancements in Longevity Medicine. Comprising medical professionals, researchers, and experts, the society plays a pivotal role in shaping the discourse around healthy longevity and supporting initiatives that enhance human healthspan.

Conferences
A crucial aspect of the Longevity Medicine ecosystem is the convening of conferences that bring together thought leaders, researchers, and practitioners. One notable event is the Aging Research and Drug Discovery (ARDD) conference held annually in Copenhagen. ARDD serves as a platform for the exchange of cutting-edge research and innovations in longevity science, providing a forum for experts to discuss breakthroughs in aging research and drug discovery. By facilitating dialogue and collaboration, conferences like ARDD contribute significantly to the interdisciplinary nature of Longevity Medicine, fostering a vibrant ecosystem that propels the field forward.
