Dillon Meier, MD
I don't accept decline as the default setting.
I built 7Longevity as a small private physician practice for people who want deeper investigation and a course that stays current as the evidence changes.
The record
My perioperative protocols have touched hundreds of thousands of patients.
My enterprise quality-improvement work has focused on reducing mortality, shortening length of stay, and preventing complications. That work taught me to make the system visible, define the target, and keep measuring after a change is made.
I am Division Chief of Cardiothoracic Anesthesia at a large West Florida hospital, Cleveland Clinic trained, and still in full-time anesthesia practice. Cardiothoracic anesthesiology is the management of human physiology in real time under maximum physiologic stress.
The discipline at 7Longevity is the same: synthesize multiple data streams, form a plan, observe the response, and change the plan while the physiology is changing.
Why I built it
It started at home: a loved one's autoimmune diagnosis, and my refusal to stop at the first answer.
That investigation expanded through other family health questions, advanced testing, and the functional and longevity literature. It converged with the systems-improvement discipline I had already spent my career applying in medicine.
In the operating room, I often deal with the consequences of problems that started years earlier. I am more interested in what can happen upstream, when better measurement, better models, and disciplined management can change the trajectory before things break down.
I built the testing architecture, data infrastructure, and D-GTL method to support that work. D-GTL names Drivers, Goals, Targets, and Levers.
Patients belong in a hospital. My job is to keep you out of one.
