Between 2015 and 2050, the world’s population over 60 years old is expected to almost double from 12% to 22% (or 1 in 5 people) – creating urgency to find novel solutions for healthy aging. To that end, svexa is proud to team up with HumanGood to participate in the XPRIZE Healthspan global competition, which aims to revolutionize the way we approach human aging. If selected, over the course of the competition, we will aim to develop and test therapeutics that restore muscle, cognitive, and immune function by a minimum of 10 years, with a goal of 20 years.
As svexa CEO Mikael Mattsson says of the collaboration “There are many parallels between our ‘human performance’ work in sport and broader applications such as aging wellness. Working together with HumanGood, a category-leading organization, is a great step forward in enabling optimization of long term physical and cognitive health and wellbeing.”
