We are closer to ‘cracking the case of healthy ageing’, says Dr Eric Topol, cardiologist, scientist, digital health leader and the author of Super Agers: An Evidence-Based Approach to Longevity.

In an interview on the latest episode of the PULSE Podcast, longevity expert Dr Topol shares his views on artificial intelligence, genomics and personalised medicine, redefining how long and well people live.

One of the topics he covers with co-hosts Dr Louise Schaper and Dr George Margelis is the next frontier of AI and the ability for it to drive accurate medical forecasting.

“We are getting deeper, longer data, multi-level and multi-modal data on each individual, and then using AI for the analytics. That’s what has brought us to this unique time of being able to prevent the big three age-related diseases, and that’s why I wrote the Super Agers book.

“It is the next frontier of AI. People are talking about AI drug discovery, AI improving medical diagnosis, AI scribes, all these other AI things for medicine.  But to me, the most exciting thing right now is that we have a unique ability to have this precision, accurate medical forecasting,  and this gives us a unique opportunity to, for the first time, address primary prevention of the major age-related diseases.”

The podcast episode  ‘SuperAgers, Big Tech & The Human Side of Interoperability’ includes part one of the interview with Dr Eric Topol with part two to be published on September 19.
