Live Longer with AI

By: Tina Woods

Overview of this book

Live Longer with AI examines how the latest cutting-edge developments are helping us to live longer, healthier and better too. It compels us to stop thinking that health is about treating disease and start regarding it as our greatest personal and societal asset to protect. The book discusses the impact that AI has on understanding the cellular basis of aging and how our genes are influenced by our environment – with the pandemic highlighting the interconnectedness of human and planetary health. Author Tina Woods, founder and CEO of Collider Health and Collider Science, and the co-founder of Longevity International, has curated a panel of deeply insightful interviews with some of today’s brightest and most innovative thought leaders at the crossroads of health, technology and society.

There are certain things we can do to shape our environment, like the food we eat and the exercise we do, but so much is dependent on other factors, too, like our access to good housing, education, and jobs––the most powerful determinants.

Our genes, which are 30% of the determinants of our health, are hugely important and the rapidly unfolding "omics" field is shedding light on the complex interplay between our genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and the wider exposome.

But what happens if despite our best efforts, whether at an individual level or wider government public health level, we fall ill and need expert medical care? The next chapter looks at the element of "healthcare," the 10-15% of the wider determinants of our health, which includes...
