Convened by THE HEALTH CAPTAINS CLUB

WELCOME ABOARD

Precision Medicine for Healthy Longevity Manifesto

“Leadership for exploring Sustainable Health – Healthy Longevity for All”

A Global Vision:

From SickCare to LifeCare

Humanity stands at a turning point. Populations are aging, chronic diseases are rising, and healthcare costs are escalating.

The World Health Organization (WHO) calls for stronger systems ensuring universal health coverage and wellbeing at all ages, while the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) urges us to “ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages.”

Precision Medicine for Healthy Longevity transforms healthcare from reactive SickCare to proactive LifeCare, expanding the  Healthspan along the Lifespan—the years lived in vitality, productivity, and dignity.

Global Synergy: This worldwide movement—exemplified by Saudi Arabia, through Vision 2030’s Health Transformation Program, and Dubai, guided by the Dubai Future Foundation and Dubai Health Strategy 2026—unites innovators, policymakers, clinicians, and citizens to co-create a future where health systems are preventive, personalized, and equitable.

 

Definition and Scope

Precision Medicine for Healthy Longevity integrates science, technology, and society:

  • Biology of Aging & Regenerative Sciences
  • Genomics, Multi-Omics & Panomics
  • Artificial Intelligence & Digital Health
  • 4P Medicine (Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, Participatory)
  • Citizen Empowerment, Equity & Health Literacy

This holistic model aims to unite global, regional, and local stakeholders in one shared mission: Healthy Longevity for All.

 

Strategic Imperatives

  1. Treat aging as the root cause of chronic disease
  2. Redesign the disease-reactive healthcare systems towards expanding the Healthspan for All (Sickspan Compression) and towards value-based Healthcare
  3. Build “The Healthy Longevity Economy” through innovation & investment
  4. Adopt biological-age & functional-health metrics
  5. Empower every citizen as a “Health Captain”
  6. Institutionalize healthy longevity medicine through education & standards
  7. Create a international quality healthspan outcome measurement platform

 

Building Longevity Hubs

Universities, medical centers, and public systems must establish Precision Health Longevity Hubs. These hubs ensure that longevity innovation remains accessible, ethical, and inclusive for all populations.

Call to Action

We urge:

  • Governments & Policymakers to embed healthy longevity in national strategies
  • Healthcare Leaders & Clinicians to champion prevention and resilience
  • Scientists & Innovators to align research with equity
  • Investors & Industry Leaders to accelerate the longevity economy
  • Citizens & Civil Society to lead by example
