We don’t just need to know body temperature when checking if we have a fever or hypothermia. It can be an indicator of all sorts of things. Research suggests it may even have an impact on longevity. A little bit of cold may be just what you need to counteract some of those negative effects […]
Longevity isn’t just for humans. If people are going to live longer, the least we can do is help the loyal animals who accompany us have longer and healthier lives, too. A developer of longevity supplements for humans is planning to team up with a pet food manufacturer to try to extend their products to
No one really likes having a blood test, but it remains one of the most common diagnostic tools. Our blood tells us a lot about our body and health, including some of the most significant markers of biological age. What if we could analyze what’s going on in your blood vessels without all the needles,

Some of the trickiest diseases to diagnose are those without symptoms. After all, if you can’t tell you’re sick, why would you go to the effort of getting yourself tested? That’s especially true if the diagnostic process is complicated or expensive, involving lots of doctors and equipment. That’s why being able to self-test even for
The use of AI and digital health solutions is spreading rapidly in the longevity industry, but that means it’s very easy for people, particularly the vulnerable people who would most benefit from access, to be left behind. One challenge facing researchers is how their discoveries can be made available to everyone (https://longevity.technology/news/bringing-biological-age-tracking-to-the-masses/). There are a

If you follow aging and longevity-related health news at all, you’re probably familiar with mitochondria. They’re essential to our energy metabolism and all sorts of different cell functions. This means it’s pretty important to know how well they’re working. A new imaging technique may allow us to do just that (https://longevity.technology/news/new-technique-for-studying-mitochondria-could-enhance-neurodegenerative-imaging/). Every human has hundreds,

We may be living longer, but sometimes technology and medicine struggle to keep up. What many people are hoping for is agetech that can allow them to “age in place”, to remain in their homes living independently even as they grow older. Can the agetech currently being developed help achieve this lofty goal (https://longevity.technology/news/aging-in-place-is-the-holy-grail-of-agetech/)? It
Measuring biological age accurately is one of the most important aspects of working to improve longevity, but it isn’t a simple process. There’s currently no single procedure that can tell you everything you need to know. This means that being able to calculate biological age from a regular, routine blood test would be a big

Our cells are very important to our longevity. They are also very, very tiny. That makes it pretty hard to study them in detail. If we want to understand how they work – and maybe take some steps to stop them from deteriorating with age – first we need to be able to see them.

There was a time when, if you wanted to know anything about your health, you had to go to the doctor and get them to run tests. In these days of apps and AI, that’s no longer the case. More and more people are taking the power to measure their biological age into their own
