Drawing from her experience founding iDNA, Dr. Zhou emphasized that “the purpose of technology is to serve humanity” and identified AI + Longevity as “the core engine of the next medical revolution.”

She presented breakthroughs, including:

  • AI Health Models: Digital twin health systems, brain-age prediction and reversal tools, and reversible aging monitoring technologies.
  • AI Longevity Platform (ALi): A 24/7, personalized “super health coach,” envisioning future doctors as always-available AI physicians deeply familiar with each patient’s data.
  • Brain Health Advancements: AI models capable of predicting dementia decades in advance—impacting 22% of people over age 80—and enabling interventions to delay or reverse cognitive decline. She highlighted TrueBinding’s breakthrough Alzheimer’s drug TB006, now in the FDA’s Expanded Access Program (EAP), offering new hope for patients.
