RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY

UKRI needs to create a specific task-force of industry experts to create a consensus framework for metrics used to periodically measure intermediary progress towards their 2035 goal. These should include the use of (1) actionable and scalable biomarkers of ageing to predictively assess impact on National HALE periodically, as well as financial incentives (e.g., tax breaks) to motivate the UK population to contribute their anonymized data for this purpose, and (2) non-biomedical frameworks (such as self-reporting systems and anonymized data monitoring via smartphones) for non-biomedical aspects including social inclusivity, social isolation and loneliness, etc.
