Release Date: May 20, 2025

Introduction

In Episode 222 of Founder’s Story, hosted by IBH Media, Sally So, the visionary founder of Genomii.ai, dives deep into the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and longevity. Drawing from her personal struggles with severe eczema, Sally shares her journey from patient to entrepreneur, illustrating how AI can revolutionize personalized healthcare and potentially reverse the aging process.

Sally So’s Personal Journey and Motivation (00:53 - 06:26)

Sally begins by recounting her lifelong battle with severe eczema, describing the constant physical discomfort and the inefficacy of traditional medical treatments:

“I am born with severe eczema. So everywhere I go, different country, different weather, different triggers I'll get different parts of bodies flare up, rashes cracking up bleeding and it takes months to heal.” [00:53]

Frustrated by the lack of personalized treatment, Sally delves into the limitations of the current healthcare system, highlighting the reactive nature of medical treatments:

“I'm always chasing it. I'm treating the syndrome, I'm treating it when I don't feel comfortable.” [01:42]

Her background in healthcare and biological science fuels her determination to uncover the root causes of her condition, leading her to explore the potential of AI in transforming healthcare.

The Power of AI in Health and Longevity (06:26 - 11:09)

Host Daniel introduces the core theme of the episode—how AI can impact health, particularly in extending youthfulness and reversing aging:

“How are we going to look, feel and be younger as we age? Because why, why do we have to age with AI now advancing as it is?” [02:22]

Sally elaborates on the capabilities of AI, emphasizing its computational prowess and potential to achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI):

“AI is a very powerful computation module, right. So it can... give you the best one... AGI towards leading coaching guidance way of finding out what’s going on with you.” [06:49]

She envisions a future where AI not only diagnoses but also provides personalized coaching to optimize individual health outcomes.

Building Genomii.ai: Digital Twins and Personalized Health (08:26 - 16:04)

Sally introduces Genomii.ai’s innovative infrastructure, focusing on the concept of “Digital Twins”:

“Twin xm. It's a Memory infrastructure... a digital twin version of yourself living in your phone...” [08:26]

This digital twin aggregates lifestyle data, medical history, and genetic information to provide real-time insights and personalized health recommendations. She explains how this integration allows users to visualize the impact of their daily habits on their biological age:

“...when you wake up, take a picture, we will tell you like Daniel, yesterday you did this and this and this... you only aged 0.68 days...” [11:09]

Longevity, Stress, and AI’s Role in Managing Aging (16:04 - 19:22)

The discussion shifts to key biomarkers of aging, particularly stress and sleep. Sally emphasizes the importance of managing stress to control biological aging:

“Stress itself, it's not a bad thing. It's actually triggering some of the hormones to help you live younger... extreme stress for nothing... causing aging.” [16:04]

She argues that Genomii.ai can help users identify and mitigate sources of stress through its analytical capabilities, promoting a healthier, younger biological age.

The Future of AI in Personal Relationships and Social Well-being (19:22 - 26:00)

Daniel and Sally explore the broader societal implications of AI, particularly concerning personal relationships and social interactions. Sally acknowledges the benefits of AI in wellness but warns against over-reliance, stressing the irreplaceable value of human connections:

“...if we go too far, it will overtake human position, which is what we don't want to do.” [20:44]

She advocates for a balanced approach where AI supports but does not replace human relationships, ensuring that social well-being remains integral to overall health.

Vision and Future Aspirations for Genomii.ai (26:00 - 29:01)

As the conversation wraps up, Sally shares her aspirations for Genomii.ai, envisioning it as a long-standing platform that continuously evolves with advancements in AI and healthcare:

“I would do it a hundred years as I know I can live a hundred years with it...” [28:08]

She highlights the app’s gamified components, designed to engage users in maintaining a healthy lifestyle by rewarding positive habits, akin to platforms like Duolingo.

Conclusion
