What is life extension technology?

Life extension is the concept of extending the human lifespan, either modestly through improvements in medicine or dramatically by increasing the maximum lifespan beyond its generally-settled limit of 125 years.

How close are we to extending human life?

According to Fedichev and his team, humanity can go one better than merely treat diseases. In fact, if these results are validated, then our species could start living for decades longer than even the maximum lifespan they determined – 150 years.

How has technology improved life expectancy?

Improvements in sanitation, education, affordable housing and developments in medical treatments have helped increase the average human life expectancy. In the long term, technologies such as CRISPR gene editing treatments and therapies are being developed to eliminate diseases altogether.

Can life extensions be possible in lifetime?

Extending your life expectancy Mainstream scientists are optimistic that the average human life span will continue to increase. In the life extension research community, advances in genetic engineering and other technologies could lead to a significant prolongation of maximum life span.

Is Sens a pseudoscience?

Since experts recognize SENS is pseudoscience, but it nevertheless has been featured widely and uncritically by popular media, we devote the rest of this short note and the first section of our web supplement to a more general response to this troubling aspect of SENS.

Can stem cells extend life?

Scientists at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York conducted some experiments injecting stem cells into the brains of animals. They discovered that this process extended their lives by 10-15\% and slowed the aging process in older mice.

What new advances or technologies will make the transition into older age easier?

Technological advances that can directly benefit the elderly and help promote aging in place include remote sensors, connected scales and blood pressure cuffs and remote glucose monitors. There are also apps for medication adherence, voice command technologies, predictive analytics and telemedicine.

What is the biggest benefit technology will have on Ageing and longevity?

The biggest benefits technology will have on ageing and longevity is through advances in preventative care. Artificial Intelligence/machine learning will play a key role in running simulations on data, captured through wearables as well as patient EMR.

Is Sens real?
