How Old Are You(r Organs)? – Examining Human Organ Systems As Markers Of Aging

June 16, 2023

While aging is commonly considered a whole-person phenomenon, a growing body of research reveals that different biological systems and human organs age at varying rates. Emerging evidence highlights the natural aging process – and the variation in its rates – as reflective of a complex interplay of age, chronic disease, lifestyle factors, and genetic risks, all specific to the individual.

Understanding the rate of aging in different organs and biological systems is crucial for developing effective anti-aging therapies and targeted interventions. By identifying the factors contributing to the aging process, we can slow down or even reverse the aging process in different organs, potentially elongating our population’s health- and lifespans one organ at a time.

Harnessing the Power of AI in Anti-Aging and Functional Medicine

June 8, 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the healthcare industry by providing computer systems with human-like intelligence to perform complex tasks such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language translation. As the capabilities of this technology expand, so will the number of its potential applications in the medical realm. In anti-aging and functional medicine, physicians may soon be able to leverage AI technology to provide even more personalized care strategies while enhancing patient outcomes. However, the widespread adoption of AI poses unique challenges in the healthcare industry that must be addressed before introducing such technologies.

Nonetheless, artificial intelligence models capable of transcribing patient summaries, drafting prior authorizations, and summarizing visit notes promise decreased time spent on tedious administrative work and levels of practitioner burnout. Used correctly, emerging AI tools can greatly support physicians in practice, allowing them to focus on their specialty – caring for patients.
