XPRIZE Will Revolutionize Human Aging, Here’s How | XPRIZE Healthspan

The XPRIZE Foundation is proud to announce its newest competition, XPRIZE Healthspan. XPRIZE Healthspan is a 7-year, $101 million global competition to revolutionize the way we approach human aging.
Modern medicine focuses on treating symptoms of injury, illness, or disease once they develop. This reactive system extends life, but doesn’t proactively improve health, leaving millions grappling with poor quality of life and related economic challenges in their later years.
Success from XPRIZE Healthspan would profoundly change our approach to aging and positively affect quality-of-life and healthcare costs. Working across all sectors, we can democratize health and create a future where aging is full of potential.

XPRIZE Healthspan is made possible thanks to the generosity of Co-Title Sponsors Hevolution Foundation and SOLVE FSHD, and other individual benefactors.
Hevolution Foundation is a global leader catalyzing and convening the healthy human lifespan field. As the single-largest funder of XPRIZE Healthspan, they are reshaping how we understand aging biology. Like XPRIZE, they are innovators and collaborators. Thanks to Hevolution's vital and generous support, we're propelling science forward, redefining how we age for the better.
SOLVE FSHD is a venture philanthropic organization founded by renowned Canadian entrepreneur and philanthropist, Chip Wilson, to catalyze innovation and accelerate key research in finding a cure for FSHD, a specific type of muscular dystrophy. Together, XPRIZE and SOLVE FSHD will enable people to look for creative ways of operating and look to a global solution to finding a cure.

I hope immortality is found by the 30s

[@squamish4244]

That might be a little too soon, but with AI revolutionizing healthcare who knows anymore. Certainly for economic reasons we need to drastically improve the health of those aged 80+ by about 2040. I would have thought that was impossible until I saw the results with the AI drug discovery models in the last literally 3.5 years and no longer.

Woah ! ... so exciting

[@SilverFan21k]

Awesome!!!!!

[@squamish4244]

It's remarkable - what if this works? Holy crap! And the person leading it, Jamie Justice, has rock-solid credentials.

[@a7xfanben]

Exciting!

We already have a solution it's free you just have to live like a centenarian from any blue zones. Or read the book "how not to age"

[@SirTenenbaum]

It was a great decision to have Jamie Justice as the Executive Director given her experience in public health and the biology of aging. I'm eager to see all the teams that participate and how they progress over the next seven years.

[@mikethechap]

I was glad to see a proposition for + 10 years with + 20 as the target. Also, that the proposition includes equity. If that vision is sustained, I’m intrigued. I don’t want it myself. But, if we can create an environment where people can live well (clean water/air, more equitable distribution of wealth - not redistribution), relative peace, and shared responsibilities, I’m on board.

[@squamish4244]

I'm also happy about the seven-year timeline. Set a target with a definitive time to succeed attached. It is easy to fall into the "ten-year trap" in research - everything is always "ten years away", which is far enough away to imagine something could be possible, but also far enough away that if you fall short, nobody notices. One scientist even proposed two and five-year timelines for research so that we are held more accountable to show what we have actually achieved in two years, and if we haven't made any progress, we can change course.

[@ScarlettM]

1:31 - I've been waiting since 2010 to someone "official" to say that and be taken seriously.

[@squamish4244]

In 2010, I was still ten years too young. I had to turn 40 and lose my last grandparent to dementia for this to become more relevant.

[@ScarlettM]

@@squamish4244 Hopefully, science will go even further and someday we'll be able to get our lost loved ones back. Maybe after "singularity"

[@squamish4244]

@@ScarlettM My loved ones have moved on into other realms and lives. They're back anyway. That's what I believe.

[@ScarlettM]

@@squamish4244 Well, I'm waiting for mine to be back where I can see and touch them and spend time with them. In the flesh, so to speak.

[@squamish4244]

@@ScarlettM That leads to big philosophical questions. If they come back with digitally retrieved data, are they the person we lost or the person we _remember_ we lost? Memory is an unreliable narrator. If they come back, have they also come back somewhere else? I don't see why not. Ray Kurzweil, who pioneered this idea, says that he doesn't know if souls exist i.e. he's not an atheist. It's a remarkable admission for someone whom has spent his life in the hard sciences.

Reversing human aging is the most important topic XPRIZE ever has chosen.

[@coffeeisthepathtovictory1290]

1000x more important to humanity than the crewed space one. Note* space is important also.

[@squamish4244]

The next one should be for mental health.

[@atherum]

This will bring upon world peace reversing aging and becoming immortal has been the goal of humanity since the beginning of our creation. We will be everlasting

[@coffeeisthepathtovictory1290]

Pharmaceutical companies make billions a year, $101 million might make them glance at the objective towards a solution, but not enough to dedicate significant resources and manpower towards this goal.

[@squamish4244]

They don't need any money, and they are also sluggish beasts. This prize is for smaller teams with innovative ideas that Big Pharma might not pursue, at least, not yet. Apparently it will end up being a billion dollars as more investors come onboard.

[@squamish4244]

Yes, but the XPRIZE people know that. Pharmaceutical companies can look after themselves. They will make billions off the first drug that can reverse aging using their own drug discovery methods, which are being vastly accelerated right now by the implementation of various AI programs. So they don't need anyone's help. Neither do hospitals. This prize is to encourage innovative, out-of-the-box thinking, of which there is a lot, for companies that don't have the budgets of Big Pharma.

[@Ravanteb-zn1dy]

I know the best way for this plan How can I contact with you?

[@squamish4244]

You have to SHOW it to them, not just tell them.

[@Ravanteb-zn1dy]

@@squamish4244 Thanks How can I show them

[@snitox]

All millennials atleast can already live till like 140. Trust me you don't wanna live longer. This is more like a billionaire thing where they wanna live that long and have an army of their laborers to keep their wealth up

[@SirTenenbaum]

This is absolutely not just "a billionaire thing." Targeting the biology of aging to prevent age-related ill health (dementia, cardiovascular disease, cancer, frailty, etc.) is important for everyone.

[@curioustoy]

Doesn't David Sinclair have the solution already?

[@JZGreengo]

Not even close, he’s more of a clout chaser

[@ScarlettM]

Sinclair is ahead of most researchers, I think. His lab will start human trials on cellular rejuvenation in 2024. His last estimate for when the product will be ready is within 10 years. But for longevity, senolytics will come before epigenetic reprogramming, since it's almost ready (2-3 years at most).

[@atherum]

@@ScarlettMthank you for the information

[@squamish4244]

​@@ScarlettM I hope so - the "ten years away" thing is too easy a promise to make.

[@ScarlettM]

@@squamish4244 The fact that serious scientists even Promised something like this - is a miracle. I've been watching this field from 2012 and back then, no one even dared to say that they will pause the aging, much less reverse it. It was "extend healthy years", not "we will reverse aging in 10 years". This promise is a big step forward.
