For years, SoLongevity has been committed to refining an innovative method aimed at enhancing health and well-being and preventing age-related diseases, through personalized pathways. Today this method has a name: it is Precision Longevity™. Let us look in detail at what it is.
Precision medicine: the roots of Precision Longevity™
As the name suggests, Precision Longevity™ has its roots in precision medicine, defined by the US drug agency (Food and Drug Administration, FDA) as an innovative approach that aims to “target the right treatment to the right patient at the right time” on the basis of genetic, environmental and lifestyle differences.
In other words, it is an approach “tailor-made” for each individual patient, as opposed to a more “classic” conception, which historically has led to the development of medical treatments for a sort of “average patient” who does not exist in reality.
In this way the therapeutic programs offered by the SoLongevity Clinic become “precision” programs to enhance overall physical and cognitive condition, acting on muscle capacity, nutrition, improving sleep quality, respiratory capacity and all the metabolic processes underlying them.
Guiding the patient along the entire pathway is a single Longevity Doctor, who works in synergy with a team of physicians specialized and experienced in longevity medicine to create a personalized plan, integrating the various skills involved in building a holistic view of the patient.

Precision diagnostics and Personal Longevity Book
At the foundation of Precision Longevity™ is precision diagnostics, which aims to identify the precise characteristics and specific clinical parameters of each individual through cutting-edge technologies that make it possible to analyze over 700 biomarkers among blood chemistry, genetic, epigenetic and metabolomic parameters.
The set of data and information makes it possible to identify the level of functionality of 11 physiological systems and the processes underlying the aging of the body.
Each of these causes can be investigated thanks to sophisticated tests and analyses, which often require special equipment and must therefore be performed by specialists in suitable laboratories.
In general, the goal of precision diagnostics is to draw up a specific profile and formulate personalized strategies to live better and longer. All the data collected to build this tailored pathway are then gathered in the Personal Longevity Book, a valuable document in which the patient can find the main findings, the indications that will define the longevity pathway and, finally, all the results of the tests acquired by the SoLongevity platform. The Personal Longevity Book is a fundamental tool for a complete view of the person’s state of health and can also be shared with other physicians for a second opinion or additions.
FemGevity Program and gender medicine
An example of Precision Longevity™ is SoLongevity’s FemGevity Program, which uses a check-up developed to address the challenges of every age of a woman’s life, in particular menopause. The FemGevity Check-up in fact assesses the physiological and psychological impacts of perimenopause, such as changes in cardiovascular, bone and metabolic health. After the assessment, the FemGevity Program guarantees complete and personalized support, which also includes targeted physical exercise and a nutrition/supplementation plan to best manage this particular phase. Because longevity is also sex- and gender-based medicine, and SoLongevity takes care of women and men while respecting their biological and social specificities.
