How blockchain, AI can help research into extending human life
Blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) have long been paired to change how people view identity and verification. Between those innovations come data, described by experts as the new oil — extracted, amassed, refined, processed and turned into something useful.
While most blockchain and AI use cases are still experimental and success can’t yet be measured, a developing app employs users’ personal data to contribute to research on prolonging human life.
Speaking with Cointelegraph at the recent Cardano Summit, Jasmine Smith, chief executive of Web3-based wellness app Rejuve.AI, said that crowdsourcing data from multiple sources helps accelerate longevity research. She explained that the current core data sets are narrowed to Western populations. She explained:

Smith added that such initiatives do not aim to replace doctors and clinicians but rather help them in their work.
“Open source development always creates better AI algorithms. We also have a section where people can contribute to our AI platform to make multiresolution simulations based on different factors,” she added.

Rejuve.AI is a decentralized longevity research network where users can contribute their personal health data for aging science studies in exchange for rewards in the form of a token, which, in turn, can be used for other products and services within the platform. According to Smith, data collected from users will then be used to develop advanced test kits, such as genome sequencing, DNA methylation, and
