NOVATO, Calif., March 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Buck Institute for Research on Aging today announced the launch of Healthspan Horizons<\/strong><\/a>, a new initiative designed to transform how healthspan\u2014the years of life spent in good health\u2014is measured, understood, and extended.<\/p>\n

While people are living longer, many of those additional years are marked by chronic disease and functional decline. Healthspan has not kept pace with lifespan. A growing body of research shows how health trajectories are modifiable\u2014but progress has been limited by fragmented data systems and a lack of shared infrastructure to measure healthspan coherently and responsibly.<\/p>\n

Healthspan Horizons addresses this gap by building a federated research platform that links multi-modal, real-world data\u2014such as wearables, sleep, activity, nutrition, and laboratory testing\u2014with deeper biological discovery studies led by the Buck. By connecting diverse longitudinal data streams under ethical governance and privacy-preserving standards, the platform aims to generate interpretable healthspan trajectories and earlier signals of disease risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cExtending healthy life is increasingly within reach,\u201d said Eric Verdin, MD, President and CEO of the Buck Institute. \u201cWhat we need now is infrastructure that allows us to apply the science of aging responsibly and at scale. Healthspan Horizons positions the Buck to help lead that next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n

The initiative uses responsible artificial intelligence grounded in decades of aging biology research to integrate complex signals across time. Dense, longitudinal datasets\u2014where multiple measurements are captured from the same individuals over years\u2014allow researchers to detect subtle patterns of resilience and early divergence from healthy aging well before debilitating disease emerges.<\/p>\n

Rather than centralizing data ownership, Healthspan Horizons operates through a federated model. Approved analyses can run across partner environments without requiring institutions or individuals to relinquish control of their data. This architecture supports collaboration while preserving data stewardship, privacy, and consent.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people don\u2019t just want a longer life\u2014they want more years of energy, strength, and independence,\u201d said Nathan Price, PhD, Professor at the Buck Institute and Co-Founder of Healthspan Horizons. \u201cWhat\u2019s been missing is a way to responsibly connect deep, long-term health data and apply rigorous AI-accelerated science to understand what truly drives healthy aging. Healthspan Horizons is designed to make that possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The platform invites participation from researchers, clinicians, health systems, wellness partners, employers, and individuals interested in advancing prevention-focused models of health. By defining shared measures of healthspan and translating longitudinal data into actionable insights, the initiative aims to support earlier intervention, functional longevity, and new models of value grounded in healthy years gained.<\/p>\n
