Bet you're dying to see it.
A new artificial intelligence app claims to be able to accurately detect the expiration date of your produce – all in an effort to inspire users to make healthier choices and live longer.
Those who want to hear the grim news can pay $40 a year to download Death Clock, which will ask a series of questions about your health and social habits — allowing it to predict not just a single year, but the entire year as well. The exact date of death of a personas well as their current biological age.
It is intended to serve as a warning – before it is too late to make meaningful changes.
“In today’s world, healthcare is typically reactive, only intervening when a problem arises and often it’s too late,” said Founder Brent Franson.
“The Death Clock represents a shift toward Medicine 3.0, where individuals are given comprehensive information about their health and are encouraged to actively manage their well-being to enjoy a longer, healthier life,” he said.
The Ghoul tool will then create a tailored “longevity plan” based on recommended lifestyle changes and things the individual can bring to their doctor.
Blood tests, genetic profiles and other personal health documents can also be uploaded to the app.
When tested by CNET's Amanda Kooser, she said the Death Clock's questions cover everything from biological factors like cholesterol levels to sleep and mental health, as well as how much a person sits each day.
Other questions relate to diet, physical activity, smoking, and social life.
When Kooser intentionally failed the quiz and saw the worst outcome — death in 2043 — he wrote, “It's motivation for me to stay on the straight and narrow path.”
