Deep Longevity Launches Longevity Medicine Course for Physicians with Industry Experts

HONG KONG,Oct. 7,2021 -- Endurance RP Limited's ("Endurance Longevity" or the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries,the "Group"; stock code: 0575.HK)'s Deep Longevity,Inc,a company acquired on 14 December 2020 which develops artificial intelligence to track human aging and extend productive longevity,is pleased to announce that the very first,highly popular and now also CME accredited online course titled"The Introduction to Longevity Medicine for Physicians",developed collaboratively between leading AI-and geroscientists,and practicing physicians in order to provide the first credible source of longevity medicine education for upskilling the healthcare professionals,was recently launched on the Health Data Research UKPlatform.

Initiated and authored by the interdisciplinary team led by Alex Zhavoronkov,PhD,from Deep Longevity,Evelyne Bischof,MD,of University of Zurich International Center for Multimorbidity and Complexity in Medicine (ICMC) and Human Longevity Inc San Diego/Beijing,Alexey Moskalev,of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Morten Scheibye-Knudsen,of the University of Copenhagen,the gratuitous Longevity Medicine Course was launched on a public educational platform in December2020,with over 2,700 learners registering immediately. In July 2021 the Course transitioned to the Longevity Degreeplatform and received the Continuing Medical Education (CME accreditation from the Medical Society of Delaware (MSD). In March 2021,the Longevity Medicine Course authors worked with the leadership of the Health Data Research UK and the Course was adapted and launched on the HDR UK platform. This is a major step towards shaping a new generation of longevity physicians in the UK andbeyond.

"I was delighted to be able to help introduce the very popular 'Introduction to Longevity Medicines for Physicians' to the UK learning sector," said Alan Davis,Innovative Programmes and Partnerships Director Innovation,Digital & Transformation Directorateat NHSHealth Education England. "The work of Alex,Evelyne and colleagues is truly revolutionary,and I've long been fascinated by the amount of information that can be inferred and the potential for lifespan change that can flow from the novel biomarkers and implementation of AI associated with them. This is a course very much with an eye on the future needs of society."


Longevity Medicine is defined as a branch of precision medicine that is specifically focused on promoting healthspan and lifespan,and is powered by AI technology (Zhavoronkov,A.,Bischof,E. & Lee,KF. Artificial intelligence in longevity medicine. NatAging 1,5–7 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1038/s43587-020-00020-4).It is a burgeoning,rapidly evolving discipline,fueled by the progress in gerosciences,AI/biotech,and clinical medicine. Moreover,it continuously adds the most advanced personalized approaches,such as multi-omics,deep aging biomarkers,precision imaging,deep aging clocks,robotics,smart technologies etc. This enormous pace and granularity demand an intensive acceleration of the translation from basic science towards the clinic,as well as a parallel,continued credible education for practicingphysicians.

The aim of longevity medicine is to utilize novel quantifiable and quantifying biomarkers ofaging,e.g.,deepagingclocks,withtheintentiontomaintainthepatient'sbiologicaland psychological age as close to the state of optimal performance throughout the course of life aspossible.

The Longevity Medicine Course group published two consecutive scientific papers to define this new field in Nature Aging,"Artificial Intelligence in Longevity Medicine" and in Lancet Healthy Longevity,"Longevity medicine: upskilling the physicians of tomorrow". TheCourseisequallyexpandingtovariousnationalleadingeducationalplatforms,inthe respective local languages,including China,Switzerland,France,Israel,Brazil,Russia etc. At the same time,the Course is being continuously updated. Most importantly,however,new large domain of courses is to be launched very soon,including a 12-hours course for advanced longevity medicine scientists and practitioners,as well as a separate course designed specifically for clinicians,based on real world and demonstrative case studies.


The clinical and scientific authors' Team critically evaluates the pedagogic and scientific outcome of the first cohort of the learners,in order to develop new learning tools and practical guidelines for the longevity medicine field. The course organizers are also studying how the physicians use the course materials learned in their daily work as well as in their choices of follow-up education. The findings and the new learning tools were presented at the Longevity MedicineWorkshopat the 8th Aging Research for DrugDiscoveryconference.

"Physicians are the critical part of the longevity industry and it can move only as fast as thephysiciansdo.Therefore,keepingthephysiciansinformedabouttherecentadvances in aging research is extremely important and is also important to keep them engaged. This course provides the very basic introduction to the field of longevity medicine where instead of treating or preventing disease,we are trying to keep thepatientasclosetothe state of peak lifespan performance for as long as possible,"Alex Zhavoronkov,co-founder of the course.

"We are enchanted by the fact that more and more international medical platforms are embracing the Longevity Medicine Course. It is such a crucial and explicit task to spread the knowledge of longevity medicine in a course specifically prepared and targeted for physicians with the intention to awaken their enthusiasm towards this new,hopefully soon to be defined as a subspecialty or discipline. Our drive and motivation is to create a bridge between gerosciences and clinical medicine",longevity physician at Human Longevity and professor of clinical medicine at the Shanghai University of medicine and Health Sciences.


"The acceleration of developments in longevity science and the growth in practical solutions to keep us healthier for longer as we age is exciting for clinicians and all healthcare professionals interested in 4P medicine(predictive,preventative,personalized,participatory). This course provides an excellent foundation to apply this knowledge in day-to-day work in the quest to achieve healthy longevity equitably for all citizens," TinaWoods,CEO,Collider Health,Director,APPG forLongevity.
