From Healthy Longevity to Human Flourishing
Overview
Harnessing frontier neurotech and longevity science to measure the impact of positive experiences and emotions on our biology and genetics
From Healthy Longevity to Human Flourishing!
As part of Longevity Week 2026 (2–6 November), this event brings together science, healthy longevity, clinical practice, culture and community around an important question: Can positive experiences - connection, belonging, purpose, music, movement, creativity and awe - become measurable determinants of health and healthy ageing in their own right?
Draft Agenda
14:30 - Arrivals & Networking
15:00–15:05
Welcome: Why now?
Professor Richard Siow - Director, Ageing Research at King's; Lecturer, Dept Physiology, Anatomy & Genetics, Oxford University. Focus on brain health, and why psychosocial determinants belong in healthy-longevity science.
15:05–15:15
The Positive Psychosocial Exposome
Tina Woods - CEO, Collider Health. From the Human Exposome Project to positive exposure and biological embedding.
15:15–15:30
The Biology of Flourishing
Dr Michael Sagner - Clinical Advisor, Ageing Research at King's; Editor-in-Chief, Longevity, European Society of Preventive Medicine. Expert in resilience, ageing biology and pathways through which environments and experiences affect health.
15:30–15:45
From Self-Optimisation to Collective Longevity
Roshan Bharwani - Director, Longevity Global London Chapter. Exploring how neurotech and longevity-tech can measure the effect of positive experiences and connection on our our biology, forming healthier communities and environments.
15:45–15:55
LAUNCH: London Positive Psychosocial Exposome Cohort
Introducing the 12-week study, founding partners, participant opportunity and recruitment.
15:55–16:25
Panel: Can We Design for Human Flourishing?
Moderated panel with London clinical and cultural partners including Wellgevity, Levitas, Vidavii and a new clinic due to open in early 2027. Exploration of examples to translate exposome evidence into healthier interventions, experiences, clinics, destinations, buildings and cities.
16:25–17:15
Close & thank you
16:30–17:15 · Networking at King's - researchers, clinics, longevity community, prospective participants and partners.
