Artificial intelligence, new technologies, and predictive medicine are together fostering the development of new realities oriented towards longevity. In Italy, among the emerging realities in the field of prevention is YOU(th) Health Tech, a startup that has developed an AI-based application capable of analyzing biomarkers through the smartphone (voice, facial images, and eye scans), identifying possible signals associated with health risks in a few minutes. In the same field operates D-Heart, an Italian startup that has developed a portable ECG device connected to the smartphone, designed to allow remote cardiac monitoring and promote early diagnosis of cardiovascular anomalies.

In the Italian longevity landscape, SoLongevity and The Longevity Suite also stand out. The former was born as a research and predictive medicine project with the aim of transforming knowledge about aging into clinical protocols based on “precision longevity,” through assessments of biological age and personalized pathways. The Longevity Suite, on the other hand, represents the largest Italian network of centers dedicated to longevity, wellness, and integrated biohacking (an approach that uses data and technologies to optimize health and performance), combining molecular diagnostics and personalized protocols also thanks to the support of The Longevity Bio-Lab, specialized in lipidomics and nutrilipidomics.

A central role is also played by rehabilitation technologies. In this field operates Movendo Technology, a biomedical company born from collaboration with the Italian Institute of Technology, which develops robotic systems for evaluation and rehabilitative treatment in orthopedic, neurological, geriatric, and sports fields, including hunova, a robotic platform used as advanced support for physiotherapy.
At the international level, the sector focuses mainly on biotech research on the biological mechanisms of aging. Altos Labs, supported by Jeff Bezos, studies cellular reprogramming with the aim of restoring the functionality of aged cells. Calico, born within the Google ecosystem, focuses its research on the biology of aging through genetics and data analysis. Retro Biosciences, also supported by Sam Altman, works on cellular rejuvenation technologies, aiming to develop future interventions capable of extending healthy lifespan.
