Eric Topol’s mission: live better, not just longer

Cardiologist and digital-health expert Eric Topol told Freethink that longevity isn’t just about adding years — it’s about adding quality. His focus: using AI, wearable data, and personalized medicine to create “super-agers.”

Why it matters

We’re obsessed with lifespan but ignore healthspan. Topol’s message is simple: aging better beats aging longer.

The big shift

New research shows combining data from sleep, heart rate, microbiome, and blood work can predict decline before it starts. That’s the next era of preventive health.

What you can do

Start small — track your sleep, heart rate, and nutrition consistently. Health optimization starts with measurement, not miracle pills.
