Events Recap
2024 Milken Institute Future of Health Summit
The 2024 Milken Institute Future of Health Summit centered on the theme Partnering for Better Health. The two-day event featured more than 200 speakers across diverse sectors and industries in more than 50 sessions about innovative partnerships, targeted research, best practices, and policy priorities emerging from health, including the fields of healthy aging and financial longevity. The Milken Institute Future of Aging curated two panels and two private sessions, including a convening of the Milken Institute Future of Aging Advisory Board. Details of these engagements are included below.
Brain Check: Innovations in Prevention, Detection, and Intervention for Neurodegenerative Disease
Brain health is integral to all aspects of daily functioning and healthy aging. Yet, many neurodegenerative and brain-based diseases lack effective treatments or cures and are expected to become more frequent as the global population ages. This panel of leading experts shared how people can learn about, prevent, and intervene to reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, with a focus on the latest innovations in dementia detection, diagnosis, and therapeutics.

What's Next in Aging: Leveraging Plans and Progress to Meet the Moment
Adults aged 65 and older are the fastest-growing demographic in the workforce and will soon comprise nearly 20 percent of the US population. Three in four will need some type of care or assistance to age in the community, which makes it critical to focus on strategies to improve health span while also addressing caregiver and accessible housing shortages. Multisector plans for aging are in place or being developed in many states; the strategic framework for a National Plan on Aging was outlined, and corporate leaders are starting to take action. This panel of experts explored what’s next for aging and where we can make needed progress.

How Private Equity Is Reshaping the Dynamics of Health Care (private session)
Private equity investors channeled $151 billion into health care in 2021, up from $79 billion in pre-pandemic 2019. Health care is attractive because of the stability and diversity of the sector, its inefficiency and fragmentation, and the continuous revenue stream from public and private health insurance. From ophthalmology, dermatology, and physician practices to hospice and nursing homes, private equity investments can streamline operations and catalyze innovation. On the flip side, expectations for a strong return on investment in relatively short time horizons can translate to higher costs and reduced care quality—and regulators have taken notice. Key takeaways from this discussion, moderated by Dawn Carpenter, director of Financial Longevity of the Milken Institute Future of Aging, will be shared in a forthcoming brief to be published later this year.

Future of Aging Advisory Board Meeting (private session)
Gains in lifespan continue to outpace health span, chronic disease prevalence soars to historic highs, and inequities persist across all three of these key indicators. Harnessing the power of prevention to enable more years to live in good health is imperative as the US population ages. In this session, panelists (pictured below), Future of Aging Advisory Board members, and esteemed guests discussed opportunities to elevate prevention in the context of aging, priorities in a changing federal landscape, and emerging community-centered models at the forefront of healthy longevity.

Passport to Longevity (private session)
The Milken Institute Future of Aging led a discussion with experts and entrepreneurs on what's happening now and what‘s on the horizon in our quest to live to a healthy 100. As medical and public health advances have increased human lifespans, longevity-related services are gaining strong traction. High-end longevity clinics aim to slow down aging, providing 360-degree checkups, DNA assessments with diagnostics, and personalized treatments focused on optimizing health. Longevity experts emphasize a holistic approach to aging, focusing on prevention, nutritional biochemistry, lifestyle enhancements, and spiritual awareness. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cryotherapy, and regenerative medicine are just some of the innovations to consider. Advanced medical diagnostics play a crucial role in the aging journey, allowing for personalized health assessments that guide tailored wellness plans.
New Publications
Supporting Family Caregiving: How Employers Can Lead
Just released, the Milken Institute Future of Aging’s new report, Supporting Family Caregiving: How Employers Can Lead, provides actionable strategies for employers to support employees in balancing work and caregiving responsibilities.

Future of Connected Care in the Home Initiative
Ninety-five percent of adults agree that aging in place is an important goal. However, the ability to do so is increasingly intertwined with technology, as digital transformation shifts how people access support and care to meet their fluctuating needs. The Future of Connected Care in the Home initiative, undertaken with the support and partnership of Samsung, aims to overcome barriers and accelerate progress toward connected care environments that enable healthy longevity and aging well at home. To build consensus and formulate recommendations, the Future of Aging convened a day-long roundtable of prominent experts across sectors in Washington, DC, on December 5, 2024. Based on the insights that emerged from this roundtable discussion, along with findings from extensive key opinion leader interviews and small working groups, we will issue a series of publications beginning in May 2025.
