Hi everyone!

EHF Advisor, prof. Arnold Mitnitsky answers questions about aging, frailty index, longevity, mathematical models that help to understand and fight against aging.

Take a look at the first part of his comments.

1. Briefly about myself and why I’m a Team member at eHealth First?
My expertise and research interests lie in the area of mathematical modeling of complex biomedical systems. More specifically, I have a longstanding interests in modeling the process of aging. Being affiliated with the Dalhousie University (Department of Medicine) in Halifax, Canada, I was a recipient of several grants from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to find the answer to the following questions: “How can we quantify aging in individuals and population?” How can we understand the biological aging and what is Biological age as a measure of the aging process, and finally how can we assess it? The problem of data integration is the crucial one in this respect, as more data becomes available with the explosion of the new technologies, such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and advanced computational techniques, including the Artificial Intelligence (AI). The eHealth First team members have similar expirations and relevant expertise, so I was delighted to joint this team in the development of the approaches to assess health of individuals during aging with the hope that the new approaches will be implemented in practice.

2. What is aging?
Aging is many things (aging is complex and has many aspects) and that is why people who study aging cannot agree all time (rather often). Aging can be defined at the different levels (cellular, subcellular, organ, entire organism). For me, it is a systemic nature of aging that is most important. We can say that aging is the process of changes in multiple aspects of health, declines in functional capacity, and functional reserve, increasing vulnerability to stresses, increasing the level of frailty. My focus is not about semantics but about developing the means that allow to quantify aging. Mathematical modeling lies in the heart of my approach. From that standpoint, we (with my colleagues, geriatrician, professor Kenneth Rockwood) suggested to assess aging as the process of accumulation of health deficits that can be found in multiple databases (clinical, epidemiological, etc.) and we have introduced a measure that can be readily applied to many data to make use of the information available currently and expected in the near future.

3. Why we age?
The opinions about that greatly diverge. There are two major theories of aging: the damage accumulation, and genetic programming of aging. I am in favor of the accumulation of damage approach to the origin of aging, as a cause of aging and that is well supported by our mathematical models, especially the network model of aging that shows how the propagation of damage occurs in complex networks. The accumulation and propagation of damage in complex dynamical networks (that represent our organism) explains the major quantitative characteristics of the aging processes, including the exponential increase of mortality with age (the celebrated Gompertz law of mortality) and the accumulation of health deficits with age that ultimately results in increasing the risks of death.
i personally seem to be very interesting concepts, perhaps for the search of immortality is still early but slow down aging is certainly a good purpose...

The impression in the beginning was a health diagnosis platform, but now its more like research for immortality .. anti aging ? why not cure the sick first

Is it true that Aubrey De Grey their advisor? I would like to know whether this information is confirmed ?
I found a lot of interesting video with this person at YouTube channels.

It was confirmed by the Team at an earlier stage, but nothing confirmed by Aubrey himself, despite the videos of the same talking about the subject and commenting on Conferences. A video of Aubrey declaring herself would be wonderful, but we know her schedule and the difficulty of getting something like this

Yes. A confirmation tweet or a simple blog post will solidify the trust and people will be more into the project.

agreed, no need to hype too big, just a simple source and a proof of legit partner will take things we never imagine. Maybe the moon ?

no moon right now. the market is really bearish these days. maybe towards the end of the year.

It looks like we are back in 2014 all over again. Prepare for 400 days of bear market. We only had 180 days.  Sad
I think everything will be decided in September, if this falling would continues, it can be protracted bear market as you said. But there is a chance that people will back around from vacations and capitalization start growing.

A confirmation from Aubrey would be greater to persuade people to come to join into this project and that will benefit for all of us for sure. Idk why team doesn't ask Aubrey to do such thing.

The team has communicated a bit these last weeks even if the activity is low. It’s true that the YouTube channel is not so active these days, it could be good to start posting again on it, the interview videos were really interesting and I think it’s a good way to earn some visibility.

Whatever news you give to community or potential investors in these market condition, it'll sure goes to waste. So delaying some important news that can create a hype for your project, is smart move. Every project should do that in august.

I think you have a valid point and that it seems they are kind of withholding good news and maybe they will release it at the right timing. Hopefully I'm correct with that. Smiley

You guys have a solid point. I haven't actually thought about it this way, but it sure seems a smart way to put good news aside for a while longer, because whatever good news you gonna give us now, it's not actually gonna change much. But I wouldn't make it a normal practice.

Well, they have not been updating (I mean in the sense of adding new content) their Youtube channel for a month already, no news here and in other resources, right? I only hope they are busy with all the developing-the-project stuff.

Hopefully, they will be back with some positive news as they have created a void between the team and the community which is not good for the reputation.

It's a holiday season, so I wouldn't be surprised. But anyway, this kind of project demands dedication, so I hope they gonna be back on track really soon.
Indeed august is probably the worst month to publish news. Because most of the people are on vacation so are not going to pay attention to them.
Experts say - September will see a series of deadlines for bitcoin ETFs, starting on September 15, the date by which two funds by GraniteShares will receive a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. This will determine the position of current ICO projects and I hope that EHF can obtain for good news.

For months I have said this, September will be a watershed for many promising projects, and Ehealth is one of those I will follow very closely, relying on its success and superiority in the sector
there are no news /updates from any channel for a while, maybe there are no relevant news, just hope that in September there will be some important news or maybe some prestigious partnerships...
Perhaps they save the best news for release at auspicious time. This would be strategically beneficial for the project, because during the bull market, investors are more active.
in fact, all the crypto world at the moment and a bit down and the ico in general, maybe they are waiting for the market to recover before revealing important news...

Well, what the hell). I mean if everything is bad, try to change something to... change the situation. Just do not continue with the losing strategy.
