Why AI will never replace the human touch in healthcare

Martin Kremmer is a renowned speaker and biohacker dedicated to leveraging biological aging tests to prevent disease, build resilience, and extend healthspan for executives and elite athletes. Recognized as a leading figure in the Nordic biohacking community, he has devoted over 5,000 hours to studying human performance, biology, and stress physiology. As the CEO and Chief Health Coach at Freeage, he spearheads a data-driven approach to optimize healthspan, using biological aging tests to guide personalized interventions for Special Forces, Olympic champions, Tour de France cyclists, high-profile executives, and politicians, enhancing their resilience, focus, and vitality in demanding careers. Since 2019, he has coached hundreds of individuals and continues to do so, applying cutting-edge biomarker insights to prevent age-related diseases and boost longevity. Over many years, Martin has shaped the national scene of proactive health through organizing health-oriented events and talks, notably co-founding CPH Health Week and remaining involved to ensure the latest science and knowledge are surfaced properly.

With a 21-year career at a Big-4 company as a Global Director, Martin mastered the intersection of data, human behavior, and performance, providing extensive global travel (100+ days per year) experience in stress management, jetlag mitigation, and thriving under high-pressure conditions, with his expertise also spanning product innovation and design. Since 2012, his passion for biohacking has evolved into a mission to personalize health optimization through biological aging tests, leveraging epigenetics, blood-based markers, DNA, and hormones to fine-tune metabolic health, energy levels, and nervous system balance. A turning point came in 2019 when he took the TEDx Copenhagen stage to share insights on biomarker-driven healthcare, solidifying his mission to bring this science to a broader audience through Freeage’s innovative health testing services.

Thomas Olivier – a former swimming champion and sports scientist – has dedicated his career to advancing personalised health. In 2011, he became the UK’s first registered nutrigenomics practitioner, pioneering DNA-based wellness. By 2014, he had launched the UK’s first company to offer DNA testing for athletes, setting a new benchmark in personalised healthcare.

His 2016 book, Cracking Your Health Code, introduced science-led coaching methods, which led to the founding of the Gensmart platform, launched in 2016, which allowed users to upload their DNA data to receive personalised recommendations and behaviour-focused habit-forming guidance. This was followed in 2017 by the launch of the Gensmart Academy, a training hub for individuals and health professionals in DNA interpretation and functional testing ( IFM ) In 2018, Thomas founded Omnos, the first data-driven health platform to integrate genomics, lifestyle, symptoms, and functional testing data ( 160+ functional tests ) – delivering personalised, prioritised recommendations for prevention and health optimisation with practioner guidance . Following the acquisition of Regenerus Labs, the UK’s leading functional testing company, in 2022, Omnos has seen 30% year-on-year growth. It now supports over 100,000 users and 10,000 practitioners across the UK and Europe, After more than seven years leading Omnos and Regenerus Labs, Thomas stepped down in March 2025 to launch O-LIVE — a Europe-first preventive health operating system built to solve healthcare’s execution gap by transforming fragmented clinical, wearable, and lifestyle data into seamless ambient health infrastructure for real-time personalisation, predictive prevention, and clinician-bounded governance

Stress and burnout are some of the most talked-about challenges of our time. But the real conversation is not only about how to treat burnout once it happens—it’s about how to avoid it, manage it, and build resilience before we reach the breaking point.

Burnout rarely comes from one single trigger. It’s the accumulation of pressures in both professional and personal life—pressures that are increasingly hard to separate. The key lies in understanding how these dimensions are connected, and in equipping ourselves with the tools to balance modern life.

This talk explores how we can cultivate resilience—not by avoiding stress or change, but by learning to stand strong through it. It’s about building the inner and outer resources that allow us to navigate uncertainty, manage challenges, and thrive not only at work but in every aspect of life—so we can truly strive, keep performing, and stay healthy even in times of change and challenge.
