The $101 million XPRIZE Healthspan is a 7-year global competition to catalyze the development of interventions to restore function lost to age-related decline of multiple organ systems in humans. Jamie Justice, executive director of the XPRIZE Healthspan competition, introduces the prize and invites the community to help to shape the first phase of the competition.
