Science is making anti-aging progress. 🧬

But do we want to live forever?

“Mayflies 🪰 live for only a day. Galapagos tortoises 🐢 can reach up to age 170. The Greenland shark 🦈 holds the world record at over 400 years of life.

Venki Ramakrishnan, Nobel laureate and author of the newly released book “Why We Die: The New Science of Aging and the Quest for Immortality,” opened his packed Harvard Science Book 📖 Talk last week by noting the vast variabilities of lifespans across the natural world.

Death ☠️ is certain, so far as we know. But there’s no physical or chemical law that says it must happen at a fixed time, which raises other, more philosophical issues.

The “why” behind these enormous swings, and the quest to harness longevity for humans, have driven fevered attempts (and billions of dollars 💰 in research spending) to slow or stop aging.

Ramakrishnan’s book is a dispassionate journey through current scientific understanding of ageing 👵🏼 and death ☠️, which basically comes down to an accumulation of chemical damage to molecules 🧬 and cells.

The fantasy of living forever has endured for centuries, from the fountain ⛲ of youth to gaining immortality from a magic 🪄 spell. But the gap between life and health expectancy is growing larger every year.

We might be living longer, but unfortunately not healthier, with more multiple long-term conditions🏥 like diabetes, obesity, and heart disease on the rise.

Muhdo Health is a data-driven personalised and a preventative health and wellness ecosystem that integrates epigenetics 🧬, genetics, health, fitness, nutrition 🥗, cognitive 🧠 testing, facial 🤓 tracking and well-being into an app-based platform – all feeding into a large, rich, and well-curated, longitudinal health data proposition.

Muhdo Health collects objective genetic, epigenetic 🧬, health and time-stamped lifestyle data to help individuals reduce the risk of future adverse health issues by providing them with the tools 🛠️ and knowledge to live healthier lifestyles – all underpinned by peer reviewed medical research.

Our objective is to discover new innovative longevity factors and health solutions from the extensive research we are currently undertaking with a range of universities, and research institutions such as Ageing Research at King’s College London (ARK-AI) and the National University of Singapore, which contribute or manage research projects in the health and longevity space.

Muhdo’s efforts are focused on improving the gap between life 👵🏼 and health expectancy 🏥 with epigenetic 🧬 science and AI 🤖 helping to identify the best pathways to improve our health and making us as active in our 80’s as we were in our 40’s & 50’s, as well as preventing future illness.🤒

Combining both internal & external data points with the synergy of biology and technology will give Muhdo the most accurate and comprehensive account of how you are ageing.
