Healthcare is becoming more interactive, more personalized, and more continuous.
Longevity biotech attracts capital
NewLimit, the anti-aging startup co-founded by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, raised $435M at a $3.1B valuation.
- The company is developing therapies designed to reverse cellular aging through epigenetic reprogramming — effectively resetting cells to a younger state.
- Funding comes after NewLimit reported early research showing age reversal in human liver cells and accelerated plans to begin human trials next year.
With investors pouring billions into the longevity category, companies like Altos Lab, Retro Biosciences, and NewLimit are spearheading the development of medicines that prevent, delay, or reverse age-related disease.
Meta reboots Supernatural
After putting the VR fitness app into maintenance mode earlier this year, Meta is spinning it out into an independent business called Supernatural Health.
- The new company will launch a standalone app later this year, bringing back the original founders, coaches, and fresh workout content.
- The reversal follows backlash from Supernatural’s engaged community, many of whom viewed the platform as one of the strongest use cases for VR fitness.
While enthusiasm around virtual reality has cooled, consumers seek immersive fitness experiences that combine coaching, entertainment, and accountability.
For Supernatural, independence may offer a better path as Meta reorganizes around AI.
Eternal turns health data into personalized podcasts
The performance healthcare company launched AI-generated audio episodes as part of its new superapp.
Powered by AI, ~20-minute weekly podcasts synthesize wearable data, DEXA scans, and labs—and contextualize them with user input—to guide behavior across sleep, movement, stress, cardio, and strength.
The insight came from a simple observation: most people never read their health reports, demonstrating that not all wellness-seekers want to become self-navigators.
Meeting users where they are with clear health guidance, Eternal is setting a new standard by turning diagnostics and coaching into a continuous conversation.
