In the era of computerized medicine, we are moving towards holistic and personalized health.
Maybe we will live more than 100 years. At the beginning of the last century, disease treatment improved with the integration of science and medicine. Today we understand the importance of health care, both for a healthy patient and for ourselves. We know that we will live long and we must do it in the right way. Science and technology advance together towards the goal of improving health and quality of life.
For years, biological markers have been used to study aging, a process that occurs externally and internally. However, health is “whole.” Comparing it to a car, where the engine, transmission and wheels must be in harmony, people are a system with many systems and components (heart, kidneys, stomach…). If one fails, the whole system will eventually break down, resulting in illness. The vision of this system is important to combat aging, because we are not just isolated bodies, but complete organisms.
We are talking about biological age improvement, also known as biohacking or antiaging. Today, we can not only slow down, but even reverse some of the aging processes. There are therapies that can extend years of healthy life.
To focus on age therapy, various organs and body functions are studied, such as the cardiovascular system, lung function, nerve conduction velocity, cognitive status, sleep, skin and supporting structures. Biochemical research is necessary to evaluate hormone levels and analyze certain materials, such as histone modifications, DNA methylation, the role of immune cells, NF-KB molecule, free radicals, secretory phenotype associated with obesity, and genes. and epigenetics. These studies are grouped into a series of “markers”, which indicate the position of tissues or functions in relation to the chronological date of the person. However, this analysis is complicated, expensive, and shows biased results, restricted to social elites.

Technology contributes by adding the technological vision to the galenic vision of the patient, considering the human body as a system of systems. This technique, known as Model Guided Medicine (MGM) or computerized medicine, converts biological markers into computer models with structural data.
MIMMS (Medical Information and Management System Model) allows medical data to be compiled and organized, convenient for personalization, complete therapy with tracking and analysis for continuous management. This infrastructure connects data to Artificial Intelligence solutions built into the workflow of professionals and patients, offering efficient, economical and complete results, accessible through smartphones.
It is not a futuristic idea. Today, thanks to technology, age and health care has become accessible to the majority of the population. This is how health is democratized with much less investments than those necessary to treat diseases. The introduction of age care through technology will allow the optimization of the resources allocated to the patient.
We have gone from curing diseases to taking care of their appearance early and now, to focusing on overall health care to reduce chronic diseases. Welcome to the century of computerized medicine. Javier Herrero. Plastic surgery and the president from Alma Medical.
