Vayas360, a vertically integrated health platform that connects nutrition, diagnostics, supplementation, and clinical care, will be featured at the upcoming Forbes Middle East Health and Wellness Summit. Dr. Joel Evans, the company’s Chief Medical Officer, has been invited to speak on behalf of Vayas360, joining a gathering of physicians, policymakers, investors, and innovators shaping the future of health and wellbeing across the Middle East and beyond.
Vayas360 is building what it calls Therapeutic Health Intelligence, a connected platform that brings together medically tailored meals, personalized supplementation, advanced diagnostics, wearable and biometric data, and practitioner-guided care in a single system. Instead of treating food, testing, supplements, and clinical advice as separate services, Vayas360 links them around the patient and the practitioner into one continuous experience that follows a person over time and produces real evidence about what improves whole-body health.
At the center of the platform is Vayaspan, the company’s framework for measuring vitality. The name draws on the Sanskrit word vayas. Vayas360 positions Vayaspan as a fuller measure than lifespan or healthspan alone, designed to capture how well a person is living across metabolic, functional, cognitive, and biological dimensions, and to show how the connected system moves those measures over time.
“The Summit brings together the people and ideas shaping the future of health in our region and around the world,” said Khuloud Al Omian, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Middle East. “Featuring innovators such as Vayas360 reflects our commitment to spotlighting models that connect care, evidence, and wellbeing into something measurable and lasting. We look forward to the perspective Dr. Joel Evans will bring to the conversation.”
Dr. Joel Evans brings more than thirty years of clinical practice to the company and to the summit stage. He is the Immediate Past Chief of Medical Affairs at the Institute for Functional Medicine and serves as Director of its Center for Functional Medicine. He is recognized internationally for advancing the science of whole-body health. In 2026, he received the Linus and Ava Helen Pauling Award in recognition of his contributions to functional medicine. His session will explore how a connected ecosystem of care, one that links the patient, the practitioner, and the full picture of whole-body health, can change the course of chronic disease, and how a shared data platform can prove it.
“For most of modern medicine, the pieces of a person’s health have lived in separate places, the food, the testing, the supplements, the clinical guidance, and the data,” said Dr. Joel Evans, Chief Medical Officer of Vayas360. “What we are building connects all of it around the patient and the practitioner, so whole-body health becomes something we can see, act on, and measure. I am grateful to Forbes Middle East for creating a stage where that conversation can reach the people redefining health in this region.”
The Middle East has become one of the most ambitious regions in the world for preventive health, longevity, and wellbeing, with national strategies that place human health at the center of long-term economic development. The participation of Vayas360 reflects rising global interest in connected models that move beyond treatment toward measurable, evidence-based prevention.
Vayas360 is a scientific advisory board that includes some of the most respected names in functional, lifestyle and culinary medicine. The company is scaling its platform across the United States, soon in the UAE and is in active conversations with investors, health systems, and partners who share its vision for measurable, preventive health.
