Aging clocks are now pervasive in the field of longevity. While new data types are being modelled to predict biological clocks, many of them are cost restrictive as well as lack consistency. In this scenario, building a low-cost aging clock that uses common clinical measurers and a few blood biomarkers to predict biological age while also providing health recommendations is of tremendous value. Deep Longevity’s Biometric Clock is uniquely positioned to help healthcare practitioners bring longevity advise to their clients.
The purpose and benefits of the Biometric Aging clock
The biometric aging clock was developed in response to the challenges posed by existing biological clocks, including the Blood Age clock, Epigenetic Clock, and Microbiome clock, all of which necessitate extensive data collection. For instance, the Blood Age clock relies on 45 blood biomarkers, making it challenging to obtain all the necessary data through a single blood test (though the clock works fairly well with an optimum set of 29 biomarkers). This requires users to undergo expensive blood tests to measure their biological age accurately.
Recognizing the need for a more accessible and streamlined solution, our biometric aging clock was designed to utilize only 17 blood biomarkers and 4 biometrics. Further, the clock also offers valuable insights and recommendations in addition to prediction of biological age. These insights empower users to make informed decisions to improve their lifespan and healthspan.
How it works and the technology behind it?
The model inputs 17 blood biomarkers and 4 biometrics and uses our proprietary machine learning models to predict biological age of an adult individual. Besides, depending on the impact of the biomarkers on an individual’s biological age, tailored recommendations are generated for improvement of overall health to reduce or maintain biological age.
