On this episode of Longevity by Design, Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Evelyne Bischof, President of the Healthy Longevity Medicine Society. Evelyne discusses her background in internal medicine and oncology and how her work puzzling together patient diagnoses led her to the field of longevity medicine. She highlights the importance of optimizing health span, not just lifespan, and how healthy longevity medicine benefits not only individuals, but population health and the world economy as well.
Gil and Evelyne explore the difference between longevity medicine and traditional healthcare. Evelyne explains that longevity medicine uses a broader range of diagnostics, including advanced biomarkers, imaging, and cognitive tests. This approach aims to build a personalized health trajectory for each patient. They also discuss the role of AI in healthcare, with Evelyne expressing hope for faster, AI-driven diagnostics and drug discovery in the future.
Finally, they touch upon the Healthy Longevity Medicine Society, its mission to establish longevity medicine as a recognized medical discipline, and the exciting developments in the field, such as the SHARP study at the Sheba Longevity Center. Evelyne emphasizes the importance of being data-driven and encourages listeners to collect and track their own health data. She believes this empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their health and longevity.
