World’s “most advanced” preventative and diagnostics clinic aims to extend human lifespan

Longevity author and pioneer Peter Attia has co-founded a new US health and diagnostics clinic which aims to advance human lifespan.

Biograph, co-founded with John Hering, has opened what it calls “the world’s most advanced preventative health and diagnostics clinic” in the San Francisco Bay Area with plans to expand globally and open its second clinic in New York City later this year.

It aims to enable members to take full control of their health by assessing risk and insights across five critical health pillars: atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, metabolic dysfunction, brain health and neurodegenerative disease, cancer risk and early detection, and quality of life metrics.

Attia, author of Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity, says: “Diagnostics are foundational to evaluating and implementing an effective health strategy informed by a systems-based approach, as well as comprehensive analyses that consider each data point within the context of an individual’s entire health picture.

“Biograph’s evaluation is best in class, which is why I recommend my patients start here.”

Co-founder John Hering says: “Inspired by one of my best friend’s cancer diagnosis, Biograph was founded on the belief that with the proper application of advanced medical technology and early detection, we can save lives.

“There is no greater investment we can make in the future, as individuals or humanity, than in our health. With an approach rooted in scientific evidence, Biograph is poised to be an integral catalyst helping to redefine what it means to live a better and longer life.”

The preventive healthcare market is expected to reach US$773.1bn by 2034, driven in part by the paradigm shift away from a traditional treatment-focused health system to one that supports prevention and proactively identifies the root causes of aging.

Biograph’s assessment protocol has been developed with support from Dr Michael Doney, an emergency medicine physician turned precision longevity clinician and researcher.

He says: “My transition from emergency medicine to the preventive health field stemmed from a conviction that patients deserve a more comprehensive understanding of their health and well-being. Recognising the variability in quality among health tests, scans, and assessments, I was drawn to Biograph’s mission.

“We are committed to providing the most in-depth analysis of a broad range of health factors, enabling members to not only extend their lifespan but, more importantly, to optimise their healthspan and overall quality of life.”
