Looking Beyond the Limits of What’s Possible: Can We Freeze the Aging Process?
Increasing life expectancy is the result of medicine's consistent victory over life-threatening diseases. Yet, the discovery and development of innovative technologies in relation to each chronic disease can increase life expectancy by only a few years. Today, advanced science is trying to make a kind of quantum leap, setting itself a fundamentally new task: to cancel aging, freezing all functions of the organism at the level of a biological age of no more than 30–40 years, and to increase human life expectancy many times over. Even so, if the issues of radical life prolongation are still a matter of visionary thinking, the task of achieving a healthy long life is on today's healthcare agenda. How does aging happen? Is it possible to “crack the age code”, increasing human life several fold; how close to a long life has science come? What can pharmacology, genetics, regenerative medicine offer today to increase the life span? What innovative solutions are available today to stop age-associated diseases developing? Why and how does a healthy lifestyle trigger anti-aging mechanisms? How can disease prevention be incorporated into the formula for future longevity? And is humanity today ready to live happily ever after?

Heart to Heart Conversation: How a Woman Sees Herself in a Healthy Society
The modern woman has many opportunities for self-realization. Yet, such freedom does not come cheaply. In exchange for equal rights, society has given women the responsibility to be simultaneously, a mother, wife, educated, well-groomed, and professionally successful. Today, women cannot afford to limit themselves to a single social role: in the family, it is often the woman who takes responsibility for building a healthy climate, while also giving her energies to professional fulfilment and promoting society’s health agenda. While striving to combine social roles harmoniously, a woman should not squander the valuable personal resource that helps a person avoid emotional and professional burnout. Health, family, career – these are the aspects of a woman's harmonious development and a balance between them must be struck and maintained. How does a woman see herself in modern society? What values and needs are shaping her way of life? Is a woman ready to follow society's demands regarding her social roles? Why is it important for women in building a healthy society? Are family and children a burden or an incentive to self-realization for modern women? How to balance women's employment in the family and at work. What measures could help women protect their time and boundaries, promote harmonious development and restore their personal resources?

Contemporary Cosmetology: Trends
Master class
Is modern science for or against a preventative approach in cosmetology? This masterclass will introduce you to contemporary cosmetology’s most important trends, including preventative aesthetic treatments, why hardware methods are not always effective, and why a full body medical examination is important even in the case of minimally invasive procedures. The body is a holistic biological system, and the condition of a person’s skin is a reflection of their overall health and bodily functions. That is why a cosmetologist should always work together with other physicians – endocrinologists and gynaecologists in particular – and why internal organ dysfunction may affect one’s appearance. What can the skin, the largest organ of the human body, tell us about other health problems? How can we evaluate a cosmetologist’s professional competence? How does a cosmetologist interact with doctors of related specialities? What accounts for the positive impact of a preventative approach in cosmetology? What professional Russian cosmetic brands exist on the market and in what ways are they superior to foreign analogues?

Health and sport are an integral part of everyday life for lots of people, even for those who have a really tight schedule.

These principles are crucial not only for personal well-being, but also for setting positive examples for society. During an open conversation with the Russian minister of health, prominent speakers will share their experiences and speak about how they integrate healthy habits into their lives and what they believe needs to be done to popularize healthy lifestyle technologies among the public.The session will focus on five ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle: proper nutrition, physical activity, sleep, quitting bad habits, and stress management.

Only Together: Doctors and Patients against Diabetes
“Only together!” – that’s what doctors say about the strategy for fighting diabetes mellitus. Despite the fact that, today, the intensive development of medicine has opened up new opportunities for diagnosing and compensating for this disease, with ongoing development of technology, personal medical assistants and innovative drugs for treating type I and type II diabetes mellitus, it is impossible to ensure a high quality of life without the patient themselves being involved. At the request of the Russian President, a new federal project “Combating diabetes mellitus” has been developed and approved. While it is important to achieve results such as ensuring broad access to modern medicines, technology and medical devices, creating favourable conditions for developing new technologies in the field of gene and immune therapy, and rapidly introducing them into clinical practice to save millions of lives depends directly on the level of vigilance of both patients and physicians with regard to diabetes, as well as development of a responsible attitude in patients towards their own health. Another important factor is creation of a systematic educational environment for teaching the basic principles of living with type I and type II diabetes. What are the most promising innovative technologies for treating diabetes mellitus? What is the role of a multidisciplinary approach in preventing and treating diabetes mellitus? How to provide training and professional development for diabetic care providers. How can lifestyle education for patients with diabetes be integrated into the healthcare system? What digital solutions and technologies can provide a single platform for doctors and patients to help unite their efforts in the fight against diabetes?

Investing in the Health of the People of the Future
The Russian state guarantees its citizens unique access to free medical care. Even so, society itself should be guided by the realization that the main aspect of maintaining a healthy and active life for many years to come is investment in one's own health. Investing in health, specifically making a conscious choice in favour of preventive measures, such as regular medical examinations and checkups, including with use of modern genetic diagnostic technologies, incorporating use of digital assistants, services and telemedicine technologies into daily practice, as well as following the principles of a healthy lifestyle, helps in reducing future risks of developing serious diseases at a young age. Development of health-maintaining technologies for human beings and timely investment in their own health not only contributes to long-term preservation of the quality of life but also brings significant economic benefits in the long term for both the state and each individual, making it possible to save money on treatment and preserve the ability to work for as long as possible. How can society be motivated to invest in health and which institutions will share responsibility for this “healthy habit”? How can we encourage the development of health-maintaining technologies and ensure that they reach the end user quickly? What opportunities in early diagnosis and health monitoring are offered by development of biotechnology? What are the prospects for and potential of digital medtech in public health? What comprehensive health improvement programmes are offered today by medical and sanatorium-resort facilities and can they be made affordable for everyone? How will the paradigm of investing in health set the stage for people of the future to live long and active lives?

A Healthy Family: The Cornerstone of the Population Protection Policy
A healthy family is a family that shares health values, is orientated towards disease prevention and leads an active healthy lifestyle. A healthy family builds a culture of family relations based on the traditions of having many children and respect for one another, care for the younger generations and a respectful attitude towards the elderly. This is an alliance of people who, based on the paradigm of personal responsibility for protection of Russia's population and the well-being of society as a whole, build a system of intra-family values based on commitment to spiritual and moral traditions, adherence to civic duty and love of the homeland. Formation of a society focused on building strong and healthy family unions that preserve traditions in order to pass them on to younger generations, while also implementing a set of policy measures to support such families, this lies at the heart of Russia's strategy for protecting its population. What factors influence the formation of a healthy lifestyle as a family cultural tradition? How to educate a society whose value system relies on a healthy, fully-fledged, big family? How to embed moral spirituality, patriotism, reverence for historical and cultural heritage in basic family values. What state support measures should contribute to the formation of a healthy family as the basis of Russia's population protection policy?

Vaccinating Yourself Against Obesity
Master class
Despite everything we already know about nutrition, obesity and ailments resulting therefrom remain the number one cause of death among non-communicable diseases. Obesity is the great pandemic of the 21st century, and it threatens the health of people everywhere. According to statistics, 90% of weight gain is related to eating habits. The influence of behaviour on obesity is psychological in nature. This masterclass will acquaint participants with the secret ingredient missing from the well-known admonition to ‘eat less and move more’ and how to get ‘psychologically vaccinated’ against obesity. The masterclass will likewise provide an opportunity to test out several practical exercises from the only psychological weight loss programme to attract the attention of the Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This masterclass will benefit people looking to lose weight and dietitians and nutritionists.

Women for a Healthy Society: Trends and Initiatives for Active Longevity
Strategic session
Increasing healthy life expectancy and an active long life have been identified as a fundamental trend in social transformation policy in Russia. Today, it is being shaped with active participation by women. Their driving role is becoming more and more prominent in each of the areas constituting the basis of the strategy for protecting the population and improving the nation's health - achieving drug safety, developing medical science, introducing innovative medical products and biomedical technologies, and shaping a preventive model of healthcare and society's commitment to the values of a healthy lifestyle. Further expansion of opportunities for realizing women's potential, strengthening their leadership role in political and socio-economic life, and comprehensive support for women's activities related to launching and promoting initiatives in the area of health and social well-being ultimately have a key impact on the development of a healthy society in Russia and make a significant contribution to preservation of a healthy, long and active life for the people of Russia. How fully realized is the role of women in the social sphere today and what measures can give an impetus to growth of women's initiatives to increase the potential for an active long life in Russia? What exactly can women offer the Russian population in terms of health maintenance and an extended healthy life expectancy? How to build the right mechanism for supporting and consolidating women and helping them jointly realize their ideas and social projects. What is the role of women in achieving the goals of the new national health project?
