Will YOU help reduce the risk of chronic age-related diseases? Traditional medicine has extended the human lifespan, but only treats one disease at a time, and only once symptoms appear without effectively extending human health. Aging is a primary risk factor for almost every chronic disease, and unless aging is itself therapeutically targeted, preventing individual diseases will have limited impact. #XPRIZEHealthspan is on the search for a breakthrough—a proactive, accessible therapeutic that reduces the risk of chronic age-related diseases, increases human healthspan, and extends quality of life well into our later years. Do you have a solution? Register a team today for the $101M XPRIZE Healthspan global competition and the $10M FSHD Bonus Prize by Dec. 20 here to make healthy aging possible for everyone. https://lnkd.in/gZ_KaN78 XPRIZE Healthspan is made possible thanks to the generosity of Co-Title Sponsors Hevolution Foundation and SOLVE FSHD , and other individual sponsors.

Attending my first #Visioneering was an energizing experience, especially as XPRIZE celebrates 30 years of advancing global innovation. It was a privilege to share how Zzapp Malaria is leveraging AI and digital technology to fight malaria, and how XPRIZE has supported innovations like ours. I met so many interesting and dedicated people, and left with my head spinning from all the ambitious ideas. Thank you to the XPRIZE team and to everyone who stopped by our booth! #exponentialize 🚀
