An aging population is inevitably accompanied by an increase in the prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases and geriatric syndromes, as well as a boost in the proportion of elderly people in the population with reduced functionality and dependent on outside help. In this regard, the goal of achieving healthy active longevity is becoming particularly urgent. Slowing down aging may be 10 times more effective at prolonging a healthy life than preventing individual age-associated diseases. The paradigm of modern medicine is how to develop and introduce active longevity technologies using our understanding of the aging process. Thus, future technologies utilized to address active longevity will be a synthesis of modern organizational solutions to prevent and diagnose diseases at an early stage, which include the latest approaches toward treating diseases and technologies that make it possible to manage aging by carrying out truly personalized prevention and treatment. Ultimately, the introduction of these technologies in the near future will result in the delaying of the age at which diseases develop and in the extension of the period of healthy life. What technologies for the prevention and treatment of cognitive impairment are successfully being used now and will appear in the near future? What modern technologies are being used today to reduce mortality from cardiovascular diseases in different age groups? What innovative technologies for preventing premature aging are the most promising? What system of measures is most effective for maintaining one’s health and active longevity?
