We are happy to announce that Sir Muir Gray has signed on as Board Director of Oxford Longevity Project.
Sir Muir Gray began his career in the NHS in 1972 and since then has made an indelible mark on it, developing screening programmes in the NHS for pregnant women, children, adults and older people. He has published numerous books and articles and was the first to identify the 'fitness gap' in the British Medical Journal. Sir Muir has held a number of NHS regional and national roles, latterly as the NHS's Chief Knowledge Officer, and he was the principal expert adviser to the European Union in the production of their report on Value Based Healthcare in 2019. His mission, of 50 years, is how to help people live longer better. He has authored or co-authored the popular health books, Sod70! and Sod60!, Sod Sitting, Get Moving and Sod It, Eat Well! Sir Muir has developed a new model to help people Live Longer and Better. In his model, morbidity at the end of life is compressed and the incidence of dementia and frailty and, therefore, the need for social care is reduced.

She is the Co-Founder of the Oxford Longevity Project and Founder and CEO of Oxford Healthspan, a nutraceutical company commercialising science-backed molecules that slow the ageing process.
SUNNY SINGH
Founder of Roundglass
Entrepreneur. Philanthropist. The ultimate seeker. Roundglass founder Gurpreet “Sunny” Singh comes by his pioneering role in the wellbeing space honestly. Born in Punjab, India and raised in New Delhi, his humble beginnings were steeped in the Sikh tradition of giving back. After graduating from the Indian Institute of Technology, Sunny made his way to the U.S. on a full scholarship, earning double Master’s degrees in engineering before moving to Seattle and founding global healthcare technology company Edifecs in 1996. While serving more than 350 healthcare customers and improving more than 215 million lives, Sunny hit a wall of personal and professional burnout. An epiphany that wellness was about more than delivering Western-style medicine and that fulfillment goes beyond material success, led Sunny to establish Roundglass, a global wellbeing foundation in 2014. The Roundglass Foundation in India has been active in creating and supporting communities and programmes encompassing women's health, sports, education, environment, conservation and sustainability for over ten years.
The Global Longevity Survey 2024, conducted by the Oxford Longevity Project and
Roundglass, asked 14,000 adults from 25 countries how they view longevity--exploring their priorities, concerns, and strategies for ageing well. It includes insights into government policy, finances, pensions, and community influences on longevity. The sample in each market, 500-1000 respondents, was nationally representative based on interlocking age and gender quotas. The 25 countries covered in the survey were: UK, USA, India, Canada, Australia, China, Indonesia, Finland, Japan, Costa Rica, South Korea, Mexico, France, Spain, Germany, Brazil, Greece, Italy, Denmark, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Taiwan, South Africa and UAE.
