PureHealth, the largest healthcare group in the Middle East, has established a dedicated Health Longevity Advisory Board, uniting internationally-recognized leaders in health longevity science, medicine and artificial intelligence. The board will play a key role in advancing PureHealth’s mission to unlock time for humankind as it aims to accelerate breakthroughs in healthy ageing and extending human healthspan beyond traditional medical approaches.
This strategic initiative positions PureHealth at the forefront of the global health longevity movement, combining cutting-edge science, advanced technology, and personalized clinical care to transform how aging is understood, managed, and optimized across populations.
Health Longevity Advisory Board Establishment
The board will guide the strategic direction of the Pura Longevity Clinic, along with its clinical optimization to ensure it remains at the forefront of global best practices in longevity medicine. In addition, it will support the integration of tests, technologies and scientific applications while driving a culture of innovation, research, and data-driven care, powered by artificial intelligence.
Comprehensive Advisory Mandate
The board’s role will extend to advisory around research collaborations, clinician training, and the ethical adoption of emerging health longevity innovations across PureHealth’s ecosystem to ensure that every intervention remains rooted in scientific evidence and best practice standards recognized internationally.
Board Members and International Expertise
Board members include Professor Brian Kennedy, Director of the Centre for Healthy Longevity at the National University of Singapore; Dr. Hinda Daggag, Executive Director of Longevity at PureHealth; Dr. Ana Baroni, Chief Science Officer at LongevityTech.fund and Chief Medical Officer at HealthyLongevity.clinic in the United States; and Professor Eran Segal, Chair of Computational Biology at the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) and Professor at the Weizmann Institute of Science.
Global Leadership Representation
This distinguished panel brings together expertise spanning computational biology, genomics, longevity medicine, AI applications in healthcare, and clinical implementation of precision health interventions, creating a comprehensive knowledge base supporting PureHealth’s ambitious longevity initiatives.
Dr. Hinda Daggag’s Vision Statement
Dr. Hinda Daggag, Executive Director of Longevity at PureHealth, said: “The establishment of the Health Longevity Advisory Board marks a critical milestone in our mission to transform health longevity science into accessible, personalised care. By uniting global experts in longevity medicine, genomics, and data science, the board will guide the scientific and clinical direction of the Clinic, ensuring every intervention is evidence-based, ethically applied, and tailored to individual biology.”
Focus on Quality Over Quantity
“Their expertise will support advanced diagnostics, research collaborations and clinician training, helping position the clinic as a global leader in precision health. This is not about adding years to life, but enhancing the quality, vitality and purpose of those years, delivering meaningful, measurable impact through the science of health longevity,” Dr. Daggag emphasized.
Professor Brian Kennedy on UAE Leadership
Professor Brian Kennedy stated: “PureHealth’s investment in longevity science represents one of the most ambitious efforts globally to translate research into real-world health outcomes. By embedding cutting-edge science within clinical care and leveraging AI to personalise prevention, the UAE is taking a leading role in shaping the future of human healthspan.”
Translational Research Impact
This acknowledgment from one of the world’s leading longevity scientists validates PureHealth’s approach of combining rigorous scientific research with practical clinical applications that deliver tangible health improvements for patients.
Pura Longevity Clinic at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City
Based at PureHealth’s Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City (SSMC), the flagship hospital in the UAE for serious and complex care, Pura Longevity Clinic is the region’s pioneering centre for health longevity and precision medicine, integrating advanced diagnostics, genomic profiling, lifestyle analytics, and personalised care plans tailored to each individual’s biology and goals.
Comprehensive Service Integration
The clinic represents a model of precision health longevity care where human expertise meets intelligent technology. By blending in-person clinical excellence with continuous digital engagement, it delivers personalised programmes that optimise healthspan, enhance performance, and sustain vitality throughout the aging process.
AI-Enabled Precision Health Integration
Powered by PureHealth’s AI-enabled health app, Pura, the clinic leverages artificial intelligence to analyze complex health data, identify patterns, predict risks, and personalize interventions based on individual genetic profiles, biomarkers, lifestyle factors, and health goals.
Technology-Human Expertise Synergy
This integration of advanced technology with clinical expertise enables more precise, proactive, and personalized health optimization strategies that would be impossible through human analysis alone, particularly when managing the complex interplay of factors affecting aging and longevity.
Multidisciplinary Clinical Team Approach
The clinic’s multidisciplinary team of health longevity physicians, health coaches, exercise physiologists and dietitians work together to unlock each individual’s full potential for long-term well-being through coordinated, comprehensive care addressing all dimensions of health.
Holistic Care Delivery
This team-based approach recognizes that optimizing healthspan requires addressing nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep quality, metabolic health, cognitive function, and numerous other interconnected factors simultaneously rather than in isolation.
Health Longevity Science Foundation
The Clinic’s approach is grounded in the rapidly evolving field of health longevity science, which is transforming healthcare by redefining how ageing is managed, diagnosed, and treated, and shifting the focus from reactive treatment to proactive prevention.
Paradigm Shift in Healthcare
Emerging interventions—from nutritional optimisation and hormone balancing to cellular therapies and senolytics—are demonstrating potential to delay or reverse the onset of chronic diseases such as Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions that traditionally limited healthspan.
Emerging Interventions and Therapies
The clinic incorporates cutting-edge interventions backed by emerging scientific evidence including senolytic therapies targeting senescent cells, hormone optimization protocols, advanced nutritional strategies, cellular regeneration approaches, and metabolic enhancement techniques designed to address root causes of age-related decline.
Positioning UAE as Global Longevity Hub
Through the Health Longevity Advisory Board and the pioneering work of Pura Longevity Clinic, PureHealth is positioning Abu Dhabi and the UAE as a global hub for health longevity science, precision medicine and preventive care, aligning with the UAE Vision 2030 and its focus on fostering healthy, high-performing communities.
National Strategic Alignment
This initiative supports the UAE’s broader vision of becoming a global leader in healthcare innovation, advanced medical technologies, and quality of life enhancement for residents and visitors seeking world-class health optimization services.
PureHealth Ecosystem Overview
PureHealth’s network comprises 110+ hospitals, 316+ clinics, multiple diagnostic centres, health insurance solutions, pharmacies, health tech, procurement, investments and more across the Middle East, United States, United Kingdom, Greece and Cyprus, creating a comprehensive healthcare ecosystem supporting the longevity mission.
