For Dmitry Kaminskiy, longevity isn’t just business – it’s purpose. After building a successful fintech company, he found deeper purpose in the transformative potential of longevity. Today, he’s a leading voice in the global longevity movement, advocating for a future where healthspan is the ultimate goal. In this conversation, he unpacks why longevity is not just an industry but a world-shaping force – reshaping how we invest, where we live, and how we care for our health. From neurohacking and mitochondria medicine to bio-smart homes and longevity banking, he shares what’s coming next – and why it matters. According to Kaminskiy, one of the most important things we can do for longevity is to seek information from credible sources such as the Longevity Magazine.
The subtitle of your book Longevity Industry 1.0 is revealing: “Defining the Biggest and Most Complex Industry in Human History.” If you had to explain it briefly, why do you believe this to be the case?
„When I got involved in the field of aging research, there was no such term as longevity. People referred to it as something in between biomedicine, biogerontology, regenerative medicine, or biotech. In 2017, our company began using more precise terms like ‘longevity ecosystem’ or ‘business of longevity.’ That same year, we profiled the global longevity industry ecosystem for the first time and created a prototype of an industry framework to support this effort. Without such a structure, it was difficult to even define the field. It reminded me of how chemistry only became a true science after Mendeleev created the periodic table – a framework that allowed the discipline to take shape”
Kaminskiy explains that what began as a four-segment model of the longevity industry has since evolved into a complex, four-dimensional framework encompassing over 30 interconnected sectors.
In his view, nearly everything that affects human life is part of the longevity economy – though to varying degrees. Kaminskiy sees the longevity financial industry as one of the most significant and capital-heavy segments, encompassing everything from pension funds to national healthcare systems.
He also highlights the rise of longevity real estate, including purpose-built residential spaces and skyscrapers tailored to long, healthy living. Furthermore, he points to the evolution of the wellness tourism sector, where traditional wellness hotels are now rebranding themselves with a sharper focus on healthspan and preventive care – giving rise to what he calls longevity hospitality.

Given how deeply the longevity industry intersects with economic, governmental, and societal systems, how do you see its complexity shaping both the biggest challenges and the most promising opportunities ahead?
„The longevity industry is the most complex industry in existence. If you try to map everything that relates to human well-being, you won’t stop at 30-40 segments. This over-complexity creates serious challenges: too much data, too many kinds of consultants, too many unclear definitions and uncharted areas. But at the same time, this complexity is exactly what creates extraordinary opportunities. It’s like Columbus or Magellan crossing the ocean on belief and discovering entirely new paradigms.”
„This year, I see two major megatrends. One is the transformation of P4 medicine clinics into longevity clinics, with a stronger focus on prevention and healthspan. The other is the evolution of our living environments – how to turn a regular apartment into a longevity apartment, or a smart home into a bio-smart home.”
Kaminskiy sees P4 medicine – precision, preventive, personalized, and participatory – as a foundational concept for the future of longevity clinics. In his view, participatory means empowering individuals to become „CEOs of their own health”, using personalized tools to track biomarkers of aging and longevity.
What would it take for countries like Hungary – where this shift seems more difficult – to move from a treatment-based to a prevention-focused healthcare model?
„I was born in Moldova, so I’m very familiar with the challenges Eastern European countries face: underdeveloped healthcare systems, economic constraints, and lack of digital infrastructure. But interestingly, economic development doesn’t always correlate with healthy life expectancy – Spain, for example, outperforms the UK in this regard. When we talk about longevity, we talk about extending the healthy period of life, which requires a shift toward precision health – with neurolongevity as the number one priority.”
„And in Hungary, despite the challenges, I’ve seen signs of long-term thinking and unique national initiatives, like the existence of Longevity Magazine, which you don’t find in most neighboring countries.”

You claim that longevity is about extending healthy life, and the state stands to benefit if citizens live longer in good health through preventive measures – why is this approach considered a smart and sustainable economic strategy from a macroeconomic perspective?
„There have been multiple analytical and peer-reviewed studies showing that even a modest increase in healthy life expectancy can result in significant economic gains.”
„This is often referred to as the longevity dividend – the idea that investing in prevention and extending the healthy period of life brings measurable returns at the national level. For example, in the U.S., it’s been estimated that a one-year rise in healthy lifespan across the population could generate up to $38 trillion in economic growth.”
„At the same time, countries like Japan show the risks of failing to adapt: an ageing population with limited workforce participation can lead to long-term economic stagnation. But with the right investments – especially in prevention, cognitive health, and age-tech – older adults can remain productive, particularly in digital and AI-driven sectors. We’re already seeing people over 60 starting businesses, learning to use AI tools, and engaging in ways that were unthinkable just a decade ago.”
Kaminskiy sees the health is wealth approach as a natural evolution of both financial and technological innovation.
Drawing from his FinTech background, he developed a longevity banking card that rewards users for engaging in health-promoting behaviors, showing how finance can directly incentivize prevention.
Longevity WealthTech, he explains, is gaining traction in countries like Switzerland, where private banks and insurers recognize that healthier, longer-living clients remain valuable for longer. He points out that many Swiss banks now host investor meetups and conferences centered around longevity, from biomedicine hubs in Lausanne to global summits in Geneva.
And once you accept that health is the new wealth, the question becomes: what’s the next frontier for those who already have everything money can traditionally buy? For Kaminskiy, the answer is clear – real estate.
He envisions longevity apartments equipped with biosensors and smart health systems that not only signal status, but actively support longer, healthier living.
While high-end versions remain expensive, he expects more affordable, modular models to emerge within three to five years – even in cities like Budapest.
Key features of Longevity Homes
What global shifts will shape the longevity industry in the next five years – and what changes might unfold in 10 to 20 years that most people don’t yet see coming?
„In the next five years, we’ll see the emergence of specialized financial platforms that allow professional and risk-averse investors to enter the longevity sector in a structured way. Alongside that, I expect real progress in national-level longevity governance.”
„These shifts will create a positive cycle: more investment will accelerate the advancements in biomedicine, longevity real estate, and preventive healthcare. We’ll also see exponential growth in mobile health technologies – AI-driven wellness apps, wearables, and smart home systems – that help people monitor and optimize their health daily.”
Looking ahead, Kaminskiy sees mitochondria medicine – rooted in space science and closely linked to immune rejuvenation – as a fast-emerging game changer for healthy longevity, and predicts that the fusion of quantum computing with AI will soon transform P4 medicine into a hyper-precise, fully predictive system capable of actively managing individual lifespan.
Kaminsky’s present personal focus is on neurohacking to preserve and enhance cognitive performance, and he’s currently working on a new edition of his book, Longevity Biomarkers 2.0. As a final takeaway, if he could leave the Longevity Magazine’s readers with one message, it would be this:
„Readers should dedicate more of their personal time to educating themselves about longevity. There are a lot of real findings, but also a lot of hype. To tell the difference, you need reliable information. That’s why journals like Longevity Magazine matter.”
