wants to rewire preventive health.

The company locked in $298M at a $2.5B valuation to accelerate its push into diagnostics, clinical partnerships, and AI-driven care.

After scaling its membership model to 50M completed tests, Function embedded itself across wellness culture — teaming up with Equinox, pro sports leagues, and health insiders.

Next up, it’s rolling out Medical Intelligence Labs, a medically informed AI copilot that layers wearables, lab work, imaging, and health records into one unified system.

As healthcare shifts from episodic visits to continuous insight, Function is evolving into a full-body platform — spanning diagnostics, imaging, and now, intelligent prevention.

We don’t get old and lose muscle — we lose muscle and get old.

A new review in Current Research in Physiology says age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) is driven by inactivity, illness, and poor nutrition — and maintaining strength could extend lifespan.

By 30, muscle starts to fade. Mass drops ~0.8% per year, strength ~3%.

By 70, up to 40% of motor units are gone. Even two weeks under 1,500 steps a day can mimic years of aging.

The fix: resistance and aerobic training, higher protein (~1.2g/kg per day), and “prehab” before downtime.

Muscle isn’t optional. It’s a vital sign — and preserving it should be frontline therapy for longevity.

wants a bigger stake in personal health.

CEO Ahmed told Bloomberg the company is weighing an IPO in the next two years as it scales its medical-grade platform.

Fresh off launching its MG device with ECG, blood pressure, and AFib detection, WHOOP is now exploring glucose monitoring — including non-invasive methods still considered a holy grail in wearables.

It’s also adding hormone, metabolic, and cardiovascular blood tests in 2026, plus AI models designed to predict health events before they happen.

As hardware, biomarkers, and AI converge, WHOOP wants to be a full-stack health operating system — with public-market ambitions to match.

Longevity is a growth engine

UBS projects global longevity spending will reach $8T annually by 2030, fueled by medical advances, aging populations, and new consumer priorities.

🧬 Health & biotech

GLP-1s alone could top $200B in annual sales this decade, while breakthroughs in Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and cancer open multi-billion-dollar markets. Supercharging labs, AI is accelerating diagnostics and drug discovery.

🥗 Consumer wellness

Prevention is replacing treatment as functional foods, supplements, and better-for-you products drive demand for vitality and metabolic health.

💄 Beauty x longevity

Anti-aging is evolving toward inside-out optimization. From ingestibles to skin health, consumers want recovery, cognition, and resilience, not just aesthetics.

🏡 Lifestyle & finance

Wellness real estate, senior living, and 100-year-life planning are redefining retirement and wealth. Financial services must adapt to an aging but active population.

Breakthrough brands will define how we live, age, and thrive.
