Slide4“Because
the rate of ageing varies immensely among
individuals
, humans become increasingly different from
each
other with age.
Thus
, chronological age fails to provide an
accurate
indicator of the ageing process
.”
Slide53 Observations on Human Ageing
Dominant cultural stereotype is that we become more alike as we grown older; the
opposite
is true. A universal process but highly personal experience.
Chronological age—our most common metric for human ageing—is very
misleading and ineffective.
Being “connected” to people (who care) promotes a longer, healthier life. Improved social and technological connection will increase healthy longevity.

Slide10Collaboration Opportunities
Promote the shift from chronological age to health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) as key metric for population health.
Co-develop a metric for “connectedness” to measure and promote social as well as technological connection
.
Establish global
partnerships to integrate genomic, epigenetic, behavioral metrics, and data analytics with connecting technologies to build
tools
that promote healthy longevity
.
