The Stanford Center on Longevity invites university students from around the world to compete to win the grand prize of $10,000 in the 2025-2026 Longevity Design Challenge, “Prevention by Design: Creating Healthy Lifestyles for Long Lives.” Preventive health has become increasingly critical in the face of longer lives and rising chronic disease rates. The Stanford Center on Longevity’s New Map of Life envisions a future where health is not just about treating illness but about building lifestyle habits, and environments conducive to those habits, that increase resilience and improve well-being for people of all ages and backgrounds. The 2025-2026 Stanford Center on Longevity Design Challenge invites student designers to create solutions (e.g., physical products, digital solutions, community programs or services) that empower individuals to lead healthier, longer lives through lifestyle factors such as sleep, nutrition, physical activity, mental health, social relationships, and financial health, particularly with approaches that are accessible, engaging, and adaptable to diverse needs and life stages.
