Neurotech device uses electrical stimulation to shift brainwave patterns, helping wearers fall asleep faster.

“Testing people early, so early interventions are possible, is key to longevity,” she says. “Technology, data and AI, and what we’re starting to be able to do with it, are propelling us to a time of greater understanding which will foster earlier, more effective treatment. Or perhaps even therapies that can delay neurodegenerative diseases, pushing back dementia to beyond our lifespan.”
