Katie Couric and Eric Topol: On the State of US Life Science and Extending Healthspan

So we can look forward to much better tools for prevention.

on top of the lifestyle factors.

Ground Truths

And then the other thing, to go back, Katie, to a point you asked about earlier, it's the AI that's so critical to tell us about the risk in each of us.

Ground Truths

So are you at high risk for one of these three major age-related diseases?

Ground Truths
Katie Couric and Eric Topol: On the State of US Life Science and Extending Healthspan

And when?

Ground Truths
Katie Couric and Eric Topol: On the State of US Life Science and Extending Healthspan

We can never do that before.

Ground Truths
Katie Couric and Eric Topol: On the State of US Life Science and Extending Healthspan

We can not only say accurately if you're at high risk, but also when.

Ground Truths
Katie Couric and Eric Topol: On the State of US Life Science and Extending Healthspan

And we have 20 plus years for these diseases to take hold.

Ground Truths

20 plus years.

Ground Truths

If we can't do something in a 20 year time span with all these tools and with the ability to have such remarkable analytics, then we must be pretty dumb.

Ground Truths

But let me be clear.

Ground Truths

Any sustained physical activity is good.

Ground Truths
Katie Couric and Eric Topol: On the State of US Life Science and Extending Healthspan

Any.

Ground Truths

So even if it's a walk that's relatively brief without any fast heart rate or sweating, that's good.

Ground Truths

But the more the better to a certain point.

Ground Truths
Katie Couric and Eric Topol: On the State of US Life Science and Extending Healthspan

It doesn't have to be extreme.

Ground Truths
Katie Couric and Eric Topol: On the State of US Life Science and Extending Healthspan

But we're talking about at least five times a week, ideally, 30 minutes of aerobic activity.

Ground Truths

That would be brisk walks or cycling or elliptical or treadmill, running, jogging, all these sorts, swimming.
