FAQ
Frequently asked questions about SenoClock® and its underlying technology
What is SenoClock?
SenoClock is Deep Longevity’s SaaS platform that provides all its aging clocks and longevity recommendations. It’s available over the web and accessible via all modern desktop browsers.
Why is it called SenoClock?
‘Seno-‘ is a Latin root associated with aging. And the platform provides aging clocks. Hence, SenoClock.
Why are there so few aging clocks?
SenoClock currently has Blood Age clock and will have the Psychological Clock in Q1 2023.. We plan to add more aging clocks in the future. Kindly check the product roadmap here..
Do you offer a free trial?
SenoClock comes with a demo/trial license that allows professionals to test the product. Kindly send an email to support@deeplogivity.com for limited-period access.
How is this platform validated? Is it validated for clinical use?
All our aging clocks have been published in peer-reviewed academic journals. For example, we have validated Blood Age in multiple populations and research settings to show that its predictions are a significant all-cause mortality risk factor.
Although, We advise using SenoClock in consultation with a health care professional for a comprehensive and holistic health approach.
How does SenoClock rely on AI and machine learning to determine biological age?
The aging process leaves numerous footprints in the human body. Damage accumulates. Some metabolic processes go haywire. But this buildup is gradual, spread across decades.
Humans can easily tell how old a person is by studying the face of a person: wrinkles, pigmentation, tone, hair, all these features tell us how old a person really is. In our minds, we have a lookup table that adds X years for each sign of aging we’ve noticed. And in the end, we treat the perceived age as a proxy for health. A person who has old skin in their 30s makes us wonder what is wrong with them, while an elderly man who looks 20 years younger elicits admiration.
We can do that because we’ve had all our lives to train this skill and are constantly surrounded by faces that can serve to hone it. But if you show someone a blood panel of an unknown man and ask what their age is, anyone will be hard-pressed to produce a correct guess.
So, we create digital models of aging that can interpret any data type in the context of aging. We feed algorithms thousands of subjects until they develop the same kind of “intuition” we enjoy while looking at someone’s face.
How does the recommendation engine work? How does it determine the course of action for a patient?
Our aging clocks not only predict biological age but also list the main contributors to the same. Once we know exactly what is causing a person to age faster, the recommendation engine checks the curated database for any applicable solutions and suggests the same.
How can individual patients access SenoClock?

Know more about Blood Age
What is Blood Age?
Blood Age is Deep Longevity’s aging clock that measures biological age based on panel of standard blood tests. In addition to biological age calculation, the clock also reveals its main contributors and recommends solutions to reduce the aging rate.
How is Blood Age generated or created?
Blood Age uses regular clinical blood reports to predict biological age. Blood reports can be from any lab, any country or region, any language and format. Deep Longevity algorithms can handle all that complexity and using those inputs generate a blood summary report that predicts biological age, outlines which blood biomarkers are aging and anti-aging and gives recommendations to improve longevity and health.
What is biological age?
Aging is the process of damage accumulation spread across decades. Due to cross-individual differences in genetics, lifestyle, and medical history, each person accrues aging-related damage at a different rate. While chronological age determined by one’s date of birth is a useful proxy for the amount of this type of damage, it fails to capture the variability in the true, biological aging rate.
Biological age may be understood as a golden standard of the aging process developed by measuring its molecular footprints. Expressed in the same units as chronological age, years, it offers a more personalized approach to longevity. While one cannot reverse the time to decrease their chronological age, it is absolutely possible to reduce the biological age and become a younger version of onseself.
How is biological age connected to aging and health?
Featured in a number of peer-reviewed academic studies on aging, Blood Age has been proven to be a better predictor of mortality than chronological age in Asian, European, and North American populations. The increased pace of aging has been shown to be associated with a variety of health conditions and mortality.
You may read more about Blood Age research in our Science Section.
Is it available for clinical use?
Blood Age is not a certified diagnostic tool and was developed to assist healthcare professionals provide personalized care and advice to their patients. Physicians may employ Blood Age to provide patients with a unique longevity-focused perspective on their health situation and differentiate their practice in the marketplace.
We believe that professional expertise is the best approach to medicine, so we advise using Blood Age-generated reports in supervised settings only.
How can AI diagnose and calculate biological age?
Humans, by intuition, can guess age based on appearance because it changes as we grow old. People who look older at a young age are considered not well while those who look younger at an old age are admired.
Blood Age expands on the same idea. But it looks deeper than appearance. We check blood test data to calculate the current biological age of a person, a task no human has intuition for.
We have developed digital models that study blood test data in the context of age. These models are trained using hundreds of thousands of historical patient data entries until they have developed the intuition to interpret the biomarkers in the context of aging.
What other information can Blood Age provide?
Along with biological age, Blood Age also reveals the main factors contributing to one’s aging rate and possible solutions or treatments to decrease it.
Professional supervision is advised in conjunction with the automatically generated recommendations.
How does the recommendation engine work?
Blood Age creates numerous digital lookalikes of the original submitted blood panel with slight variation and searches for a configuration of blood biomarkers that yield the greatest improvement in terms of biological age. The exact method we are using is called “particle swarm optimisation”. In the end, Blood Age checks a curated database of evidence-based interventions that can result in the desired blood biomarker configuration.
How many years can you gain if you follow Blood Age recommendations?
The efficiency of the recommendations applied greatly depends on how healthy your lifestyle was before trying Blood Age. Generally speaking, people with an increased pace of aging can expect the greatest benefits by following the recommendations provided by our system. If you have previously delved into biohacking territory, your biological age gains might not be as significant since you might already be following the recommendations in our database. Instead, your focus should be on monitoring the pace of aging and trying to align it with the recent changes in lifestyle.
To be more specific, our recommendations can help a fast ager become a slow ager by erasing years of biological age and allow a slow-ager to maintain that pace and even improve it.
Does Blood Age recommend dietary supplements?
Yes. Blood Age recommendation database has some possible dietary supplement solutions.
Expert supervision is strongly advised before you start a new supplement course.
How will Deep Longevity use patient data in the future?
Deep Longevity may use patient data for further studies and research projects. It helps us develop better tools to improve human health and longevity.
Are there any data privacy risks? Where are Blood Age's and Deep Longevity’s servers located?

Know more about Mind Age
What is Mind Age?
Mind Age is Deep Longevity’s aging clock that estimates one’s psychological or Lifestyle age based on a psychological / lifestyle questionnaire. A respondent’s answers may be collected online, in person, via a phone interview / contact centre, or printed forms. In addition to a psychological age estimate, respondents will receive useful tips on how to improve their psychological well-being and a complete report on mental health.
What is psychological age?
Human motivations and emotions evolve as people grow older. Some of these psychological trends are so reliable that they may be used to guess one’s current chronological age. Psychological age is thus one’s position in this array of psychological transformations expressed as years of age.
Due to a variety of personal histories and innate tendencies some people go through their aging-related psychological progression faster than others. Unlike biological age, it is not always better to have lower psychological age. One’s life goals and priorities determine if their current psychological age is suboptimal: some people would benefit from adopting a more mature outlook while others might need to become younger at heart.
How is psychological age connected to biological age and health?
Good mental health is an essential part of healthy aging healthy aging. Our research has shown that poor psychological health acelerates one’s biological pace of aging. Some people might actually improve their mental and physical health by adopting a more mature mindset.
How is the Mind Age clock validated?
Mind Age, as well as other aging clocks developed by Deep Longevity, have been published in peer-reviewed academic journals .
Is Mind Age ready and available for clinical and medical uses?

Our recommendation engine provides personalized tips self-improvement based on an individual’s current mental state assessed with Mind Age.
How does Mind Age use machine learning to calculate psychological age?
Our Mind Age project is an ensemble of deep learning models trained to predict one’s chronological age, mental health risks, and future well-being.
By processing thousands of psychological profiles obtained from public sources such as MIDUS and NHANES with deep learning algorithms, we have created these tools that may be used to gain useful insights on users’ mental health. Making these models available through projects like futurself.ai has allowed us to collect tens of thousands of psychological profiles that we have used to fine-tune Mind Age models.
Currently, the Mind Age project consists of deep neural networks, self-organizing maps, and clustering algorithms that exchange their outputs to parse aging-related trends in human psychology and determine the best course of action for each users based on their background.
How does the Mind Age recommendation engine work?
Self-organizing maps are the foundation of our Mind Age recommendation engine. It is a method of unsupervised learning that groups people on a 2D plane based on the similarity of their psychological profiles. The regions on this map are scored based on the associated risk of mental illness, personal preference, and level of mental well-being. Then, the adjacent high scoring region is picked as the destination point for a user. Once the itinerary for a new user is composed, a curated database of psychological advice is sought for entries that can promote the desired shift in the psychological profile.
Can these recommendations be followed without professional oversight?
Mind Age offers the tools that may be used for self-improvement with no professional guidance. However, we believe that AI-tools cannot replace the nuanced attention a human expert can provide to their patient through one-on-one sessions.

Know more about Epigenetic Age
What Is Epigenetic Age?
Epigenetic Age is a measure of biological aging derived from epigenetic markers—most commonly DNA methylation patterns. These markers regulate how genes are switched on or off without altering the underlying DNA sequence.
Unlike calendar age, Epigenetic Age reflects how lifestyle, environment, and internal biological processes influence aging at the molecular level.
How Is Epigenetic Age different from Chronological Age?
Chronological age represents the number of years a person has lived. Epigenetic Age, however, reflects the functional and molecular condition of the body.
An individual’s Epigenetic Age may be lower or higher than their chronological age, indicating slower biological aging or accelerated aging, respectively.
How is Epigenetic Age calculated?
Epigenetic Age is calculated using scientifically validated machine-learning models trained on large population and longitudinal datasets.
These models analyze DNA methylation data from biological samples and convert complex molecular patterns into an age estimate that correlates with health outcomes, disease risk, and mortality.
What biological samples are required to measure Epigenetic Age?
Epigenetic Age analysis requires a DNA-based biological sample using blood sample.
The specific sample type depends on laboratory workflows, regulatory standards, and regional requirements.
How accurate and scientifically validated is Epigenetic Age?
Epigenetic Age is among the most scientifically validated biomarkers of biological aging.
DNA methylation–based aging clocks demonstrate a high level of accuracy, with a typical prediction error of approximately 2.77 years, placing them among the most precise epigenetic aging models currently available.
What insights does Epigenetic Age provide beyond age estimation?
Beyond estimating biological age, Epigenetic Age offers insights into:
- Pace of aging
- Biological resilience
- Long-term lifestyle and environmental impact
- Diet and Exercise plan
It can also be used to track biological changes over time and assess the effectiveness of health and longevity interventions.
Is Epigenetic Age intended for clinical or medical decision-making?
Epigenetic Age is designed as a decision-support and wellness analytics tool.
It is not a diagnostic test and should always be interpreted alongside clinical evaluations by qualified healthcare professionals.
How do AI and machine learning improve Epigenetic Age analysis?
Artificial intelligence and machine-learning models identify complex, non-linear relationships between epigenetic markers and aging outcomes.
These models continuously improve as new population-level and longitudinal data are incorporated, enhancing prediction accuracy and real-world relevance.
Can Epigenetic Age be improved or reversed?
Scientific evidence suggests that epigenetic patterns are dynamic and can respond to positive lifestyle changes.
Factors such as improved nutrition, regular physical activity, stress reduction, quality sleep, and healthier environments may slow or partially reverse epigenetic age acceleration over time.
How often should Epigenetic Age be measured?
Epigenetic Age is typically measured at intervals of several months.
This timeframe allows sufficient biological change to occur following lifestyle or therapeutic interventions, making trend analysis more meaningful.
How long does it take to receive an Epigenetic Age report?
Once laboratory processing and data ingestion are complete, Epigenetic Age reports are generated automatically by the Deep Longevity platform.
Turnaround time depends on laboratory workflows and system integration, but is generally short.
How are data privacy and security handled?

Epigenetic Age is influenced by DNA methylation patterns shaped by lifestyle and environmental exposures.
Key factors include stress, physical activity, sleep quality, nutrition, smoking, alcohol use, and environmental toxins.
These influences can accelerate or slow biological aging at the cellular level.
How is an Epigenetic Age test different from a genetic DNA test?
A genetic DNA test analyzes inherited DNA sequences that remain largely unchanged throughout life.
An Epigenetic Age test, by contrast, measures chemical modifications on DNA that regulate gene activity and change over time in response to lifestyle and environment.
Epigenetic clocks provide a dynamic view of how the body is aging biologically—beyond genetic predisposition alone.
What is the science behind Epigenetic Age testing?
Epigenetic Age testing is based on decades of research in molecular biology, epigenetics, and population health.
DNA methylation patterns have been shown to change predictably with age and to correlate strongly with health outcomes, disease risk, and longevity.
By combining these biomarkers with AI-driven models, Epigenetic Age provides a robust, science-backed measure of biological aging.
Know more about Face Age
What is Face Age?
Face Age is an AI-powered biological aging indicator derived from facial and skin image analysis. It reflects how aging manifests visually on the face by evaluating both facial structure and skin-related features associated with biological aging.
What is AI-powered skin feature analysis in Face Age assessment?
AI skin analysis is a technology that uses artificial intelligence and computer vision to assess visible skin characteristics from a facial image. It evaluates features such as oiliness, dryness, redness, pigmentation, texture irregularities, fine lines, and other surface patterns that reflect skin condition and visible aging.
By analyzing these features objectively and consistently, AI skin analysis helps identify key skin-related factors influencing appearance and aging. The insights can then be used to guide personalized skincare strategies, wellness interventions, and product recommendations, supporting improved and measurable skin outcomes over time.
How is Face Age different from chronological age?
Chronological age measures the number of years lived, while Face Age reflects how aging appears on the face. Face Age may be higher or lower than chronological age, indicating accelerated or slower visible aging influenced by skin condition, lifestyle, and environmental exposure.
How does the Face Age Clock calculate visible biological aging?
The Face Age Clock uses computer vision and proprietary AI-based facial analysis trained on large, demographically diverse datasets. The models examine facial structure and detailed skin features, translating visible aging patterns into a biological age estimate that reflects an individual’s facial aging progression.
Which skin features are analysed as part of the Face Age model?
In addition to facial structure, the Face Age model evaluates multiple skin-related parameters, including:
- Skin Quality
- Wrinkles
- Pores
- Oiliness
- Dryness
- Elasticity
- Hydration
- Skin Appearance
- Dullness
- Sagging
- Radiance
- Texture Irregularities
- Fine Lines
- Eyes
- Dark Circles
- Bags Under Eyes
- Blemishes
- Acne
- Black/Dark Spots
- Dark Spots
- Redness
- Uneven Skin Tone
- Line on Forehead
- Facial Hair
These features contribute directly to the Face Age estimation and aging profile. We will keep adding additional features over time.
Why are skin features important for Face Age analysis?
Skin features capture early and cumulative signs of biological aging. Changes in hydration, pigmentation, texture, and inflammation often reflect lifestyle, environmental stress, and physiological aging processes, making them critical indicators of visible aging.
How does AI detect skin conditions from a facial image?
AI models analyze high-resolution visual patterns, contrast variations, and structural cues within the skin. This allows the detection of subtle features—such as oil imbalance, redness, or pigmentation—that may not be consistently identified through manual observation.
How does AI ensure accurate face analysis?
AI ensures accurate face analysis by using advanced computer vision and deep-learning models trained on large, diverse, and demographically representative datasets. Automated quality checks verify image clarity, lighting, alignment, and facial positioning before analysis.
The models then evaluate multiple facial and skin features simultaneously, identifying consistent patterns linked to visible aging and skin condition. Continuous validation, performance monitoring, and model refinement help maintain reliability and consistency across different populations and imaging conditions.
How are Face Age results used to improve skin outcomes?
By identifying specific skin-related aging drivers, Face Age insights can be used to design targeted skincare, cosmetic, or wellness strategies. These outputs support more precise and personalized interventions aimed at improving visible skin health over time.
Can Face Age help identify rectifiable skin concerns?
Yes. Face Age highlights skin features that contribute to accelerated visible aging, many of which are modifiable through appropriate skincare routines, lifestyle changes, or professional interventions.
Can Face Age change over time?
Yes. Face Age is dynamic and may change as skin condition and facial features respond to improved care, reduced stress, better nutrition, or environmental changes. Repeated assessments enable longitudinal tracking of visible aging trends.
How often can Face Age be measured?
Face Age can be measured regularly due to its non-invasive nature. However, noticeable changes in facial aging and skin patterns typically emerge over weeks or months rather than days.
How important is image quality?
The accuracy of results also depends on image quality – clear, well-lit images with proper face positioning enable more precise analysis and more reliable outcomes. The clock will reject images of poor quality.
What data is required to perform a Face Age analysis?
A single facial image captured under defined quality guidelines—proper lighting, neutral expression, and frontal orientation—is required. No biological samples or invasive procedures are involved.
How accurate is the Face Age Clock?
Face Age models are developed and validated using large-scale datasets and rigorous statistical methods. While the insights are scientifically grounded, Face Age is intended for wellness, research, and decision-support applications, not medical diagnosis.
How is facial and skin data protected?
All facial data is processed using secure, encrypted infrastructure and handled in compliance with global data-protection and privacy standards. Consent is duly recorded.
Is Face Age available via API?
Yes. Face Age is available through secure APIs, enabling integration with wellness platforms, skincare solutions, research tools, and enterprise longevity systems.
What makes the Face Age Clock different from cosmetic or skin-only analysis tools?
Unlike cosmetic skin analyzers, the Face Age Clock is grounded in longevity and proprietary AI facial analysis to estimate how your face is aging compared to your chronological age. It integrates skin features as biological aging signals rather than aesthetic metrics, enabling consistent tracking, interpretability, and long-term aging assessment.
Why is traditional skin assessment often inaccurate or inconsistent?
Traditional skin assessment methods rely on subjective visual checks, generalized skin types, or trend-based assumptions. These approaches fail to account for individual skin variability, leading to trial-and-error decisions and inconsistent results.
Face Age replaces subjective judgment with AI-driven analysis of facial and skin features, enabling more precise and repeatable insights.
How does Face Age reduce trial-and-error in skincare decisions?
Face Age identifies specific skin-related aging drivers, such as oil imbalance, dryness, pigmentation, redness, and texture irregularities—rather than relying on generic skin categories.
By understanding why certain skin features appear, users and brands can make targeted, data-informed decisions instead of experimenting with unsuitable products or routines.
How does AI-based Face Age analysis improve personalization?
AI enables Face Age to analyze multiple facial and skin parameters simultaneously and objectively. This allows personalization to be based on measurable skin features and visible aging signals, rather than assumptions, preferences, or popularity-driven trends.
How does Face Age support beauty and cosmetic brands?
Face Age enables brands to:
- Provide targeted products for proper skin care
- Improve product-to-skin matching accuracy
- Increase customer trust and satisfaction
This transforms personalization into a measurable, repeatable process.
What makes Face Age different from cosmetic skin scanners or quizzes?
Unlike cosmetic tools or self-reported questionnaires, Face Age is:
- AI-driven and data-based
- Focused on biological and visible aging signals
- Designed for consistency, validation, and longitudinal tracking
It delivers actionable insights rather than superficial categorizations.
Is Face Age suitable for online and digital-only experiences?
Yes. Face Age is purpose-built for online and digital-first experiences. It delivers accurate facial aging insights using a single facial image, making it ideal for web platforms, mobile applications, and enterprise-scale personalization where fast, scalable, and remote analysis is essential.
Who benefits most from Face Age-driven skin analysis?
Face Age is ideal for:
- Skincare and cosmetic brands
- Wellness and longevity platforms
- Digital health, beauty and e-commerce businesses
- Research and innovation teams
Integration and longevity API FAQ
How is authentication handled for the API?
Authentication is handled for the API through JWT (Json Web Token) or API Key.
On successful onboarding credentials (a username and a password) will be provided to access APIs. Using these credentials user can get JWT tokens (access & refresh token). Using the access token user can access other APIs or can get an API key for some duration (user can set the duration while creating the token). A valid API key can be used to access all APIs.
What type of authentication method does the API use (OAuth, API key, JWT, etc.)?
Deep longevity’s APIs can be accessed using JWT or API key.
Are there any specific security measures or best practices to follow?
Yes, APIs are secure and necessary security measures are already in place. Here are the few,
APIs are accessible via HTTPS only which ensures encryption for secure communication over the network.
Standard authentication mechanisms are implemented to access APIs like JWT & API Key. Validity for API key can be controlled during the API key creation.
APIs are 100% REST endpoints, and all possible vulnerabilities are managed including SQL injection.
Proper input validations are in place.
Permissions and authorization implemented.
What are the available endpoints, and what functionality do they provide?
Information about available endpoints is accessible with a valid customer only. To know more about the APIs please contact us at support@deeplongevity.com
What is the expected format for API requests and responses (JSON, XML, etc.)?
Available APIs are 100% REST APIs and request/response body contains JSON data only.
Are there any rate limits or quotas imposed on API usage?
Rate limits varies customer to customer based on the agreed contract and plan.
How does the API handle rate limiting, and what happens if limits are exceeded?
In case of rate limits are exceeded the requests will be waiting in a queue and executed in FIFO (first in first out).
How are errors communicated by the API (HTTP status codes, error messages, etc.)?
Errors are communicated by the API through HTTP status codes.
Here are some following status codes and error messages,
400 Bad Request: The server cannot process the request due to a client error (e.g., malformed request).
401 Unauthorized: Authentication is required and has failed or has not been provided.
403 Forbidden: The server understood the request but refuses to authorize it.
404 Not Found: The requested resource could not be found.
500 Internal Server Error: A generic error message returned when an unexpected condition was encountered.
Are there specific error scenarios developers should be aware of?
Developers will be provided with necessary documentation and validation details during onboarding.
Is there comprehensive documentation available for the API?
Yes, APIs are documented using Swagger (Open API 3.0 specification). Along with this postman collection is available to test and understand all available APIs.
Is there a sandbox or testing environment available for developers?
Once successfully onboarded a developer account will be created in our test server and shared with the developer/team.
Does the API support webhooks or callbacks for real-time updates?
Most of the APIs return quick response. For asynchronous processes APIs are available to check current process status.
How should developers handle asynchronous events?
Users will not be blocked by the asynchronous events. After initiating the event API will return some process/tracking id and using the id user check the status/results.
How is data formatted in API requests and responses?
In API development, data formatting in requests and responses is crucial for effective communication between clients and servers. All requests and responses are in JSON format.
Is there support for versioning, and how should developers handle changes?
Yes, versioning is supported, and user can specify the version during APIs calls. Without versioning APIs will always return latest version.
Are there any specific libraries or SDKs provided for integration?
No, it’s not required. All communication will happen using REST API.
What are the compatibility requirements for the API?
Only requirement is that all requests should be a REST API call.
Are there tools or mechanisms for monitoring API usage?
Currently monitoring is managed by our internal team only. Developers will not have access to this. A monthly report will be shared based on the usages.
How can developers track performance and identify potential issues?
In case of any performance or API issues, developers can ask support to check by sending email to support@deeplongevity.com.
Are there any legal considerations or compliance requirements for using the API?
We don’t need any PII to process your requests. So, we will not be accepting or storing any shared PII data. Developers are required to send deidentified data only.
How does the API handle scalability, especially under high loads?
Scalability of API is available based on the requirement of the user and agreed terms.
Are there performance considerations developers should be aware of?
It’s recommended to maintain the agreed max number of concurrent requests to get the best performance.
How should developers seek assistance in case of issues?
Developers can reach out to our support team at support@deeplongevity.com. Our team will get back with possible causes and solutions.
