Abstract

This article introduces the longevity medicine patient experience framework (LMPEF), a seven-domain model for optimizing patient experience in longevity medicine. Each domain, from fostering personalized patient–provider partnerships to cultivating an optimal care environment, contributes to a comprehensive system designed to enhance patient experience, support sustained behavior change, and achieve meaningful health outcomes. The framework highlights the crucial role of interdisciplinary teams in delivering comprehensive care. Addressing the complexities of an aging global population necessitates collaborative efforts among healthcare professionals. The LMPEF promotes tailored interventions designed to address diverse patient needs while fostering resilience and independence. By operationalizing a patient-experienced, person-centered approach, this framework offers potential solutions to common challenges in longevity medicine, including care fragmentation, accessibility barriers, and poor patient engagement.
