Date, May 18th, 2021. Today, Deep Longevity (wholly owned by Regent Pacific Group Limited Hong Kong Stock Code: 00575) a leading provider of deep biomarkers of aging and longevity, LifeHub, and LifeClinic announced a collaboration to deploy an extensive range of AI-powered aging clocks to explore the effectiveness of longevity interventions including lifestyle choices and drug regimens.
Based in Hong Kong, LifeHub and LifeClinic are possibly the largest Functional Medicine-based Medical Wellness and Medical Clinic facilities in the region. They take a science-based approach to Health Optimization and Longevity by addressing their clients' physiological imbalances that could stem from nutritional deficiencies or other factors like hormonal imbalances or the effects of environmental pollutants.
As part of the partnership, LifeHub and LifeClinic medical professionals are being engaged in advanced research with Deep Longevity and trained in deep aging clocks to provide their clients with biological age reports to customize their clients' wellness journeys.
Deep Longevity aging clocks are supported by a number of academic publications that are summarized in a recent review titled "BioHorology and biomarkers of aging: Current state-of-the-art, challenges, and opportunities".
Biological Aging clocks are a new holistic biomarker of health and wellbeing that reflect the biological age of the person, and not their passport age. These markers are usually much more predictive of mortality and can be used for early disease diagnosis, prevention, clinical trial management and in insurance applications. Deep Longevity is the original inventor of deep aging clocks - biomarkers of aging using deep learning and has granted patents on the technology.
"I am delighted that we will be able to use Deep Longevity's most advanced aging clocks to assess and improve LifeHub and LifeClinic's various youth extension products and services", said Dr Jonathan Seah, Chairman of LifeHub and LifeClinic.
"The traditional approach to preventative medicine is focused on preventing disease by diagnosing the symptoms early or reducing the risks of disease. AI-guided longevity medicine goes much further than that by focusing on tracking the person's rates of aging at many levels, on the identification of longevity bottlenecks, and on utilizing the latest advances in science and technology to slow down or potentially even reverse biological and psychological aging. We are very happy to have both LifeHub and LifeClinic join the rapidly growing network of our research and clinical partners focused on providing customers with extra years of productive and happy life", said Dr Alex Zhavoronkov, Chief Longevity Officer of Deep Longevity Inc.
