About Michael

Michael Greenhalgh is a computer scientist and AI researcher working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, longevity science, and evidence-based medicine. With Stanford training in Natural Language Processing and AI (2016-2017) and foundational work in computer science and linguistics from Sonoma State University, he brings a rigorous, first-principles approach to solving healthcare's most challenging problems.

As co-founder of Health.AI, Michael is building systems that validate medical information through multi-agent AI analysis, cutting through the noise of conflicting health advice to surface evidence-based truth. His vision: create transparent, open-access tools that function as a "ground truth engine" for healthcare—helping both patients and professionals navigate the reality that nearly 50% of current medical protocols are invalid, incomplete, or influenced by hidden conflicts of interest.

Michael's technical career spans four decades of building innovative companies—from co-founding IMS in 1984 (creating a programming language in assembler for distributed RDBMS systems), to designing metropolitan-area wireless internet infrastructure with Metro.Net and SAIC, to managing global network implementations for Wells Fargo's 5,000 branches. Each venture solved complex technical challenges through elegant system design.

Over the past decade, Michael shifted his focus to the hardest problem he'd encountered: healthcare information accuracy. As Clinical Director of Pacific Hyperbarics and co-owner of neurorehabilitation clinics across California, he witnessed firsthand how fragmented medical knowledge and physician overload impact patient outcomes. This clinical experience became a testbed for developing intelligent systems that could synthesize medical literature, detect logical inconsistencies, and identify non-obvious conflicts of interest.

His current research explores the convergence of AI, gerontology, and synthetic biology from a data science perspective. Michael believes recent advances in AI now make it possible to approach "true optimum health" by creating systems that can process global medical knowledge sources, break through AI guardrails imposed by economic influences, and validate diagnoses and treatments through rigorous multi-step truth algorithms.

Building Health.AI

Health.AI Research & Development

Health.AI addresses a fundamental problem: nearly 50% of medical diagnoses and treatments are invalid, undetected, or unused. Michael is building a suite of AI-powered tools that validate medical information through rigorous multi-agent analysis, creating what he calls a "7-step truth algorithm" to assess logic, identify conflicts of interest, analyze biological mechanisms, and synthesize agnostic global knowledge sources.

The platform combines Natural Language Processing, multi-agent AI systems, and deep medical literature analysis to break through AI guardrails imposed by economic influences at every level of healthcare—from pharmaceutical research to clinical protocol development. Rather than replacing physicians, Health.AI augments human intelligence with transparent, evidence-based validation.

Michael's approach is methodical: build practical tools that solve real problems while advancing the broader mission of healthcare truth validation. The result is a growing ecosystem of applications—from personal health assistants and supplement comparators to clinical workflow automation and medical content verification systems—all designed to make reliable health knowledge universally accessible.

Current Focus Areas: AI-driven diagnostic validation • Medical information truth-checking • Longevity science applications • Clinical workflow optimization • Patient-centered health intelligence

Longevity Research & Synthetic Biology

After selling his first startup and achieving financial independence, Michael spent a decade diving deep into gerontology and synthetic biology from a data science and systems theory perspective. This wasn't casual interest—it was a systematic investigation of aging mechanisms, cellular senescence, epigenetic reprogramming, and the fundamental biological constraints on human lifespan.

His research approach combines computational analysis of longevity literature with practical clinical experience from years operating hyperbaric oxygen therapy clinics. HBOT has demonstrated remarkable results in cellular regeneration, neurological recovery, and wound healing—outcomes that align with emerging longevity science showing the importance of oxygen metabolism, mitochondrial function, and cellular stress responses.

Michael's longevity work operates on multiple levels:

  • Data-Driven Analysis: Using AI to synthesize thousands of longevity research papers, identifying patterns and contradictions that human researchers might miss across disciplines from molecular biology to population health studies.
  • Clinical Validation: Testing longevity interventions through real patient outcomes at neurorehabilitation clinics, measuring recovery rates, cognitive improvements, and quality-of-life metrics.
  • First Principles Thinking: Questioning fundamental assumptions about aging—treating it not as inevitable decline but as a solvable engineering problem with biological, informational, and systems-level components.
  • Integration of Modalities: Exploring how oxygen therapy, metabolic interventions, stress hormesis, and information-based treatments (like AI-validated supplement protocols) can work synergistically.

The last two years of AI advancement have been transformative for this work. Michael believes we're approaching a critical inflection point where AI systems can finally process the full complexity of human biology—integrating genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and clinical outcomes data to identify genuine longevity interventions versus marketing hype.

His vision: combine Health.AI's truth validation capabilities with comprehensive longevity knowledge to create practical, evidence-based protocols for extending healthspan. Not just living longer, but maintaining cognitive function, physical vitality, and quality of life through interventions validated by rigorous analysis of global health data.
