Leaders from Retro Biosciences, Aura Health, Link Jevity, and the AMA convened to discuss accelerating longevity medicine through therapies targeting necrosis and autophagy alongside continuous health monitoring. The panel identified critical systemic barriers including outdated reimbursement models and fragmented disease silos while highlighting breakthroughs like generative AI-driven drug discovery and home-based neuro-insight testing. With a predicted market readiness of 3 to 6 out of 10, the group anticipates the first anti-aging therapeutics will reach consumers within five years as the industry shifts from reactive sick care to proactive aging reversal.
