AI, Biomarkers and the Future of Longevity Medicine, with Elio Verhoef, Co-Founder of LongevAI

In this episode, Daphna sits down with Elio, co-founder of LongevAI, a platform using artificial intelligence to help longevity clinics analyse biomarker data, streamline documentation, and build personalised client plans.

With a background in computer science and a lifelong passion for health optimisation, Elio offers a grounded, honest perspective on what AI in longevity medicine can do today, and where the limits still lie.

______________

What We Cover

• How LongevAI was founded and what problem it solves for longevity clinics

• What it means to automate clinical documentation without removing the clinician from the process

• How AI interprets biomarker data, and why speed and accuracy both play a role

• The hallucination problem: what it is, why it happens, and how it is being managed

• Data privacy, GDPR compliance, and anonymisation in clinical AI tools

• The importance of human oversight, why the clinician must always approve before anything reaches the client

• How AI and clinicians can learn from each other in a feedback loop

• Wearable integration and the role of continuous vs snapshot data

• Where AI in longevity is heading in two to five years, including gene therapy modelling and whole-cell simulation

• Why younger people are beginning to engage with longevity, and what still holds them back
