App calculates life expectancy and offers blood tests

A look at a longevity application launched in 2024 that estimates life expectancy using user health habits, AI trained on actuarial data, and integrated biomarker panel ordering through labs like Quest Diagnostics.

While subscriptions start at $69, experts highlight the inherent unpredictability of individual mortality.


Functions and cost

The app was launched in 2024. In February, the company announced a new feature that allows users to order blood tests. The basic subscription for blood tests costs $69, while additional tests total $780. The company partners with labs such as Quest Diagnostics, and Brent Franson is its CEO.

According to the company, the artificial intelligence used by the app has been trained on 1.200 longevity studies and insurance company data.

Experts' reservations

Experts point out that how long a person will live and the reasons that influence mortality are by nature unpredictable and cannot be predicted with accuracy.
