info_outlineJesse Levey, CEO and Founder of Longevity Health, has a focus on extending the health span not just the lifespan of more people by providing access to tools and preventative health information. Lessons learned from expensive concierge medical services are being applied to a broader population, driving down health costs and democratizing longevity medicine. Using AI to build a scalable and personalized approach to wellness not just sick care, Longevity Health aims to make an AI doctor available around the globe.
Jesse explains, "Our mission is to help a billion people live to a hundred in good health. That's the vision. And the way that we get there is by building an AI doctor trains of ed on longevity medicine and distributed around the world. We have a three-phased business model. Phase one is to take the sort of hundred-thousand-dollar-a-year longevity concierge experience and deliver it for $10,000. So we've taken this really high-end experience that combines an executive physical with a longevity concierge physician and a team to help you implement the recommendations. And we've delivered that for $10,000. That's been around for about two years."
"Phase two takes that down to $1,000 with the help of AI. So it reduces the time spent by humans and the need to spend a lot of time with clinicians. And so it's a mix between clinician time and AI interactions. And then eventually, as the regulation allows and as the technology improves, we believe that we'll be able to deliver this experience for as low as $10 a month or $100 a year via an AI doctor. And so that's the future. That's what we're building towards."
