Summary:
- The U.S. government's new Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) has invested millions of dollars into several research projects focused on extending human healthspan - the period of life spent in good health.
- These projects include clinical trials testing interventions that could delay the onset of age-related diseases and disabilities, such as Alzheimer's, heart disease, and frailty.
- The goal is to develop new medical technologies and treatments that can help people live longer, healthier lives by preventing or postponing the negative effects of aging.
