Research on how blockchain and artificial intelligence can help extend human lifespan
Exploring the Potential of Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence in Prolonging Human Lifespan A Research StudyThe CEO of Rejuve.AI, a Web3-based health application, Jasmine Smith, told Cointelegraph that decentralized and AI-driven health research platforms are not intended to replace doctors and clinicians, but rather to assist them.
Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have long been combined to change people’s perspectives on identity and verification. These innovations have generated data, which experts describe as the new oil – something that is extracted, accumulated, refined, processed, and transformed into something useful.
Although most use cases of blockchain and AI are still in the experimental stage and their success cannot yet be measured, the applications being developed contribute to research on extending human life by utilizing personal data from users.
Jasmine Smith, the CEO of Rejuve.AI, a Web3-based health application, stated in a recent interview with Cointelegraph at the Cardano Summit that crowdsourced data from multiple sources helps accelerate longevity research. She explained that the current core dataset is limited to Western populations. She said:

“Being able to democratize this access and fill in data gaps in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and other regions will allow us to have a more comprehensive understanding of human health and lifespan and enable us to provide better advice… to assist in their care.”
Smith added that such initiatives are not meant to replace doctors and clinicians but to help them in their work.
“Open-source development always leads to better AI algorithms. We also have a part where people can contribute to our AI platform with multi-resolution simulations based on different factors,” she added.

Rejuve.AI is a decentralized longevity research network where users can contribute personal health data for aging science research in exchange for tokenized rewards, which can be used for other products and services within the platform. Smith stated that the data collected from users will be used to develop advanced testing suites such as genome sequencing, DNA methylation, and biological age testing – products that ordinary individuals cannot access.
When asked about the possibility of diluting the perception of longevity research with the incentive-based approach, Smith believes that everyone “naturally likes to get rewarded” and added:
“I think everyone wants to give something and get something, especially when it comes to health data. We wear smartwatches and rings, and while we may see some cool little charts on the app, we don’t actually get compensated for it.”
This executive pointed out that this aspect of Web3 “could be very powerful,” and emphasized that the research results “go far beyond the scope of tokens.
When asked about the philosophical debates regarding prolonging human life and the unexpected social consequences, Smith explained that the project is not about forcing anyone to “live past 100.”
“It is more about pushing the limits of science and technology to create something not only for the wealthy but also for anyone who has the drive and motivation to extend their lifespan,” Smith said. “It’s not about imposing the driver’s motivation on those who don’t have that motivation yet.”
Smith stated that she does not believe artificial intelligence will completely replace humans. Instead, she believes this technology will not only make their work easier but also allow them to gain a more direct and detailed insight into an individual’s value as a person. She added:
“[AI] can definitely speed up workflows, make tracking easier, and connect individuals with their data contributions and the actual benefits that arise from using data for different plans and products.”
