The same genomic technology once limited to specialist programs is now accessible to anyone, paired with an AI platform built on over a decade of clinical data and a new multimillion-dollar collaboration with Insilico Medicine to predict disease before it begins.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Human Longevity, Inc. (HLI), a precision health and longevity technology company, today announced the availability of Genomics for All, a clinical-grade whole genome sequencing product priced at $599. The offering sequences all 6.4 billion base pairs of an individual's DNA and delivers AI-interpreted results through the HLI app, with no clinic visit required.
Unlike consumer ancestry tests, which analyse less than 0.02% of the genome using SNP chip technology, Genomics for All sequences the entire genome at 30x clinical-grade depth, the coverage standard required for medically meaningful interpretation. The result is a fundamentally different class of information: one capable of identifying inherited disease risk across more than 10,000 genetic variants, flagging pharmacogenomic markers that affect how individuals respond to common medications including statins and GLP-1 receptor agonists, and screening for carrier status in hereditary conditions. The report also covers health-related traits across nutrition, metabolism, and exercise response.
A central feature of the product is its AI-powered re-analysis capability. Because the genome itself does not change, HLI re-analyses each client's genomic data on an ongoing basis as new research is published, new disease-gene associations are identified, and clinical guidelines are updated. When a new clinically relevant finding emerges, HLI proactively alerts affected clients, often within 24 hours of publication. This transforms a one-time sequencing event into a continuously evolving health resource.
"Our founder Dr. Venter helped make it possible for humanity to read the human genome," said Wei-Wu He, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO of Human Longevity. "With Genomics for All, we are continuing that vision by helping more people understand what their genome may mean for their long-term health. Our goal is not to replace physicians or make deterministic predictions, but to provide better information that can support more informed conversations, earlier awareness, and more personalised care."
Genomics for All sits within a broader AI-driven platform that HLI has been building for over a decade. In May 2026, HLI announced the launch of Human Life Foundation Models, Inc. (HLFM), a dedicated AI entity developed in partnership with Insilico Medicine, a clinical-stage generative AI biotechnology company. The multimillion-dollar collaboration aims to develop what the companies describe as the industry's first large-scale AI foundation model dedicated to longevity science, drawing on HLI's multimodal clinical and genomic datasets collected across more than 10,000 clients to identify the biological mechanisms of aging and enable predictive healthcare.
Genomics for All is the entry-level offering in HLI's broader suite of precision health programs, which also includes more comprehensive assessments combining advanced imaging, biomarker panels, and clinician-guided care. The scientific advisory board includes Nobel laureates Dr. Geoffrey Hinton and Dr. Michael Levitt.
Genomics for All is available now at humanlongevity.com/genomics for $599.

Driving Technology Adoption, Shaping a Vision for the Future
HONG KONG, Oct. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI) is proud to present a range of cutting-edge technologies and practical solutions at this year's InnoCarnival, spanning communications technology, smart cities, IoT sensing, and renewable energy and energy storage. ASTRI's innovations address urban development needs and everyday applications, driving diversity in the innovation and technology (I&T) sector.
Organised by the Innovation and Technology Commission of the Hong Kong SAR Government, the InnoCarnival 2026 runs from today through 1 November at Hong Kong Science Park (HKSP) with the theme of "Lead with I&T, Dream to Fly High ", offering the public an opportunity to experience the transformative power and I&T vibrancy.
Ir Dr Ted Suen, Chief Executive Officer of ASTRI, stated: "Innovation is not just about breakthroughs in the lab – it's about putting technology into practice, empowering industries, and benefiting society as a whole. At ASTRI, we align closely with the government's priorities in advancing AI development and accelerating new industrialisation. Through our participation in the InnoCarnival, we showcase various state-of-the-art technologies, some of which have been co-developed with industry partners and are already in commercial rollout. These innovations demonstrate the tangible benefits of technology in daily life and inspire the public to explore their curiosity about science and innovation."
He highlighted the InnoCarnival as a key platform to bridge the I&T community with the public. "This annual landmark event motivates young people to explore their potential and encourages them to pursue careers in Hong Kong's growing I&T sector," he added.
ASTRI's booth (A08), located at the HKSP's Atrium Link, features interactive games powered by its groundbreaking technologies "5G-SAT Link" and "Omniguard-All-Weather Multispectral Surveillance System" technologies. Visitors can also explore other advanced solutions on display, including the dual-purpose "SafeStop Dual-purpose Impact Dissipation Bollard", the "Hybrid-Powered Asset Tracker", and the award-winning "NIR Secure Anti-Counterfeit Solutions", which received gold award at the prestigious Edison Awards.
1. 5G-SAT Link
ASTRI's "5G-SAT Link" technology delivers seamless, comprehensive communications coverage—even in remote areas, emergency scenarios where infrastructure is compromised, or at sea and in the air.
2. Omniguard: All-Weather Multispectral Surveillance System
The "Omniguard" is equipped with exceptional fog penetration capabilities, superior contrast, and crystal-clear signal quality. Leveraging its advanced shortwave and longwave infrared sensors, the system can even detect non-metallic vessels that are difficult for radar systems to identify in harsh coastal environments.
3. SafeStop Dual-purpose Impact Dissipation Bollard
Developed by ASTRI, the "SafeStop Bollard" features a unique material design inspired by the retractable claw structure of cats. Its 3D tension-expansion composition allows it to effectively dissipate kinetic energy from moving vehicles, providing dual protection by blocking vehicles while minimising potential harm to occupants. Certified to meet international crash-test standards, the bollard's shallow foundation design makes it ideal for fast and efficient installation in high-traffic urban locations.
4. Hybrid-Powered Asset Tracker
The "Hybrid-Powered Asset Tracker" enables efficient, real-time management of airport equipment such as baggage carts over extended periods. Supported by the Airport Authority Hong Kong, the tracker is compatible with airport wireless networks and utilises automatic Bluetooth-GPS switching for seamless indoor and outdoor location updates. With a long-lasting battery combined with an efficient, low-light solar panel, the tracker extends its lifespan from under two years to five years.
5. NIR Secure Anti-Counterfeit Solutions
The "NIR Secure Anti-Counterfeit Solutions" offer an innovative authentication system by embedding covert near-infrared (NIR) absorbing materials into product packaging. Users can verify product authenticity instantly using a smartphone, paired with an NIR reader and mobile app. Highly scalable and robust, this solution combats counterfeit goods while preserving the original product design and production workflow. Co-developed with Zhuhai Print-Rite New Materials Corporation Ltd., this technology sets a new benchmark in secure authentication.
