The conversation explored how longevity is evolving beyond simply extending lifespan towards helping people remain healthy, active and independent for longer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLongevity is not simply about adding more years to life; it is about making those years healthier, more active and more meaningful. As healthcare evolves, we have an opportunity to help people understand their health earlier, make more informed choices and take a more proactive approach to their well-being. We stand aligned with Dubai\u2019s ambition to shape the future of health and become a global centre for healthy longevity,\u201d said <strong>Ms. Alisha Moopen, Managing Director &amp; Group CEO, Aster DM Healthcare<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Central to the event was the unveiling of Thrive by myAster, a biomarker-based health assessment that analyses more than 100+ biomarkers across different systems to provide individuals with a deeper understanding of their health in the simplest of ways. Delivered through the myAster app, Thrive combines health insights with expert interpretation and personalised guidance to help individuals translate information into practical next steps.<\/p>\n<p>The Thrive by myAster unveiling was supported by an integrated experiential programme spanning movement, mobility, hydration, sleep, recovery, skin health and wellbeing, giving guests the opportunity to explore a range of longevity-focused experiences, including VO\u2082 Max assessment, mobility and strength activities, recovery experiences and skin analysis.<\/p>\n<p>The event came at a timely moment for Dubai\u2019s growing focus on healthy longevity. The recent approval of the Dubai Longevity Authority\u2019s strategy by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum marks a move towards implementing its agenda around longevity, wellness and advanced health. The strategy targets around 31 per cent annual growth and aims to contribute more than AED35 billion to Dubai\u2019s economy over the next decade, while advancing research, clinical trials, innovation and responsible regulation across the sector.<\/p>\n<p>The second panel, \u201cBridging the Longevity Gap,\u201d brought together Dr. Karima Arroud, Consultant Functional Medicine and Medical Director, Wellth; Dr. Elie Abirached, Recovery &amp; Biohacking, Restore Fitness; Professor Roberto Grobman, Founder, Robgenes; and Dr. Lamees Hamdan, Founder, Cosmic Doctor &amp; Shiffa Beauty.<\/p>\n<p>The panel explored the gap between the growing amount of health information available to individuals and their ability to understand and act on it, covering personalised health, prevention, nutrition, movement, recovery, sleep, genetics and the responsible use of health data.<\/p>\n<p>The programme also featured a film with Fares Al Janahi, Emirati padel athlete, connecting the longevity conversation with movement, performance and active living, and highlighting the importance of sustainable physical activity in supporting long-term health.<\/p>\n<p>Bringing together expert perspectives, personalised health insights and practical wellness experiences, \u201cBridging the Longevity Gap\u201d reinforced a central message: longevity is not simply about living longer, but about increasing the number of years in which people can remain healthy, active, capable and engaged. Guests attending the event got an exclusive opportunity to experience Wellth\u2019s holistic and longevity focused therapies, products and experiences from Aster Pharmacy, Aster Opticals, Humantra and Fade Fit.<\/p>\n<p>Through its integrated healthcare ecosystem and growing focus on preventive and personalised health, Aster continues to support a more proactive approach to healthcare, helping individuals understand their health earlier, act on relevant insights and make sustainable choices for healthier years ahead.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>About Aster DM Healthcare FZC in GCC<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1987 by Dr. Azad Moopen, Aster DM Healthcare is a leading integrated healthcare provider, with a strong presence across 5 countries in the GCC and Jordan.
