I’d like to share thoughts on longevity clinics and also the future for the public longevity sector. First of all, it is good to see more longevity clinics around, including public clinics hosted by prominent public hospitals! Some prominent examples include Sheba Longevity Center (Ramat Gan, Israel), Healthy Longevity Clinic at Alexandra Hospital (Singapore), Mayo Clinic Healthy Longevity Clinic (Rochester, Minnesota, USA), the first public longevity clinic in the US. Private clinics are more abundant, for example Switzerland is home to several, including: 💼 Longevity Center (Zurich, Switzerland & Warsaw, Poland), managed by Joanna Bensz (co-founder,CEO), Prince Michael of Liechtenstein (co-founder). 💼 CLINIQUE LA PRAIRIE (Lake Geneva, Switzerland), managed by Simone Gibertoni (CEO), Adrian Heini (Medical Director) and with a starting price for the 1-week program to be around €50,000. 💼 AYUN (Zurich), managed by Dr. med. Leonie Bode and Vincent Aebi Several other clinics are located across Europe and in the UK: 💼HOOKE (London), managed by Kate Woolhouse (CEO), and Lev Mikheev (Founder), with average prices being €8.550 - €63.000. 💼Healthy Longevity Clinic (Prague, Czech Republic and Florida, USA), managed by Petr Sramek (CEO) 💼Lanserhof Lans (Austria, Denmark, Germany, the UK), managed by Christian Harisch (CEO) and with prices starting at €2,890 (Lanserhof Kur Classic, 7 nights) And US/Asia: 💼Human Longevity Clinic (San Francisco & San Diego, USA), led by Wei-Wu He, Ph. D. (Executive Chairman, Human Longevity, Inc.) and David Karow (Chief Innovation Officer) Evelyne Bischof, MD, PhD 💼CHI Longevity Clinic (Singapore), led by Andrea B. Maier (Co-founder, President of the Healthy Longevity Medicine Society ). I took prices from a report by Future of Health and I did not check them, so please do your own due diligence if you need. But the point is, they are not exactly super affordable for the broader community. That’s fine for now, and I am happy to see the progress in this area. But I see the future of public longevity a bit differently. IMO, it is not a “brick and mortar” way (going to clinic), but “in-house” way, where you have digital and biosensors, e.g. stool sensors, urine sensors, blood draw automation tools, digital trackers, and AI systems connecting the dots with the actual physician. I’m getting more investment requests for longevity clinical, but it is a challenging business. What matters for many is who is your longevity physician. It is important that organizations such as Healthy Longevity Medicine Society promote practical longevity stuff, and allow doctors to implement best practices in their usual medical routines, like diagnostics, personalized medicine etc. So, the future of longevity is not longevity clinics, I guess, although for now they are quite valuable for some patients.
