Healthy Longevity Medicine Society

What Healthy Longevity Medicine Society does

Healthy Longevity Medicine Society (HLMS) is a Swiss-based international nonprofit medical society founded in August 2022 and headquartered in Zug. It was established to develop longevity medicine as a recognized clinical specialty, setting professional standards, fostering research, and coordinating interdisciplinary collaboration among physicians, scientists, and policymakers working on healthspan and aging. The society is governed by an elected Council of globally prominent researchers spanning institutions including Cedars-Sinai, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, National University of Singapore, UCLA, Columbia University, and Sheba Medical Center.

HLMS's core offerings include tiered individual memberships (Ordinary at 100 CHF, Associate at 200 CHF, Student at 50 CHF), jointly authored clinical standards documents, the affiliated Longevity Medicine Course Series (101 and 201) delivered through longevity.degree, monthly member-only clinical sharing sessions, white papers, and the Young HLMS (yHLMS) program targeting medical students and early-career professionals. The society generates no proprietary technology platform; its economic engine is annual membership fees processed via the Join It platform, supplemented by conference-driven engagement. Its principal commercial differentiator is the November 2024 licensing of the Institute for Healthier Living Abu Dhabi (IHLAD) as the world's first specialized healthy longevity medicine centre, using HLMS clinical standards developed jointly with the Department of Health Abu Dhabi — a precedent-setting regulatory embedment that positions HLMS as a first-mover standard-setter in an otherwise undefined clinical specialty.

Direct peers

• American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR): AFAR is a U.S. nonprofit supporting aging research and training the next generation of aging researchers. James Kirkland (HLMS Vice President) serves as AFAR President and Nir Barzilai as Scientific Director, making AFAR the most direct organizational peer to HLMS in mission, governance, and funding-model structure.
• American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM): ACLM is a U.S.-based medical professional society focused on lifestyle and preventive medicine, including Diplomate certification pathways. Nicole Sirotin (HLMS Secretary General) is among the first Diplomates of ABLM/American College of Lifestyle Medicine, making ACLM the closest functional peer in member-tier structure, certification programs, and preventive medicine positioning.
• Academy for Healthspan and Lifespan: An emerging professional society dedicated to advancing healthspan-focused clinical practice. Nir Barzilai (HLMS Council Member) is a founding member, positioning this academy as a direct peer competing for the same membership base and standards-setting authority in longevity medicine.
• Longevity Biotech Association: Industry-focused association representing companies developing longevity therapeutics, with Nir Barzilai among its founders. Comparable to HLMS in that it organizes the longevity field's professional infrastructure, though oriented toward biotech industry rather than clinical practice.
• International Board of Lifestyle Medicine (IBLM): International certification body for lifestyle medicine physicians, including Nicole Sirotin (HLMS Secretary General) among its first global Diplomates. IBLM is a direct peer in physician certification infrastructure and international standard-setting for preventive/longevity-related clinical practice.

Broad incumbents

• International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG): The largest established international professional society focused on aging, with member societies across dozens of countries. IAGG is a broader-incumbent peer to HLMS, representing the traditional geriatrics community whose clinical jurisdiction HLMS is increasingly positioning itself to complement or challenge.
• American Geriatrics Society (AGS): The leading U.S. professional society for healthcare professionals specializing in older adult care. AGS is a broad-incumbent peer given overlapping physician membership and adjacent clinical scope, though AGS focuses on treating age-related disease rather than targeting aging mechanisms as HLMS does.
• Gerontological Society of America (GSA): The oldest and largest multidisciplinary society in the field of aging, established in 1945. Comparable to HLMS in mission around advancing aging science, but with a much broader research-oriented rather than clinical-practice focus.

Regional players

• European Society of Preventive Medicine (ESPEM): European professional society focused on preventive and lifestyle medicine, with comparable scope to HLMS's longevity medicine emphasis. Operates as a regional peer with similar physician education and credentialing activities but with European geographic focus.

Others

• Longevity Science Foundation: Global nonprofit funding longevity research and development, which played a foundational role in establishing HLMS with HLMS leadership serving on its Scientific Advisory Board. Functions as a financial/strategic partner and ecosystem peer rather than a competing society.
