Bet you’re dying to check this one out.
A new artificially intelligent app claims to be able to pinpoint your expiration date — all in an effort to motivate users to make healthier choices and lead longer lives.
For $40 a year, those looking to have the grim news delivered can download the Death Clock, which will ask a series of questions about your health and social habits — helping it to predict not only a year but the exact date of a person’s mortality, along with their current biological age.
Its intention is to serve as a wake-up call — before it is too late to make meaningful changes.
“In today’s world, healthcare is typically reactive, intervening only when problems arise and often too late,” said founder Brent Franson.
“Death Clock represents the shift to Medicine 3.0, where individuals are equipped with comprehensive knowledge about their health and encouraged to proactively manage their wellness to enjoy longer, healthier lives,” he said.
The ghoul tool will then create a custom-tailored “longevity plan” of suggested lifestyle changes and things worth bringing up to a person’s doctors.
Blood tests, genetic profiles, and other personal health documents can also be uploaded to the app.
When tested by CNET’s Amanda Kooser, she reported that Death Clock questions range from biological factors like levels of cholesterol to inquiries on both sleep and mental health along with how much a person sits per day.
Other questions revolve around dieting, physical activity, smoking, and having a social life as well.
