GeroSense

Long DescriGeroSense, developed by Gero.ai, offers a cost-effective and scalable solution for tracking biological age and resilience through digital biomarkers. By analyzing step counts and heart rate patterns collected from users' smartphones and wearables, GeroSense delivers insights into an individual's biological age acceleration—the difference between biological and chronological age—and resilience, defined as the body's recovery rate from stressors. 

The platform's AI framework identifies specific patterns in daily physical activity, predicting biological age changes resulting from various lifestyle and nutritional choices. This approach enables users to objectively assess the impact of their habits on longevity and overall health. 

Key Features:

• Biological Age Tracking: Calculates biological age acceleration to help users understand how their lifestyle influences aging. 
• Resilience Measurement: Assesses recovery rates from stressors, providing insights into the body's ability to rebound from challenges like illness or physical exertion. 
• Non-Invasive Data Collection: Utilizes existing smartphone and wearable sensors, eliminating the need for additional devices or invasive procedures. 
• Personalized Health Insights: Offers individualized feedback, enabling users to make informed decisions about lifestyle modifications to enhance healthspan. 

User Experience:

GeroSense is available as a free research app on the App Store, allowing users to contribute to aging research while monitoring their health metrics. The app analyzes data from Apple Health to calculate biological age and resilience, providing daily updates and insights. 

Scientific Validation:

The methodologies underpinning GeroSense have been validated through research published in reputable scientific journals, demonstrating accuracy comparable to blood-based tests. Studies have highlighted the platform's ability to predict biological age and resilience using data from consumer-grade mobile and wearable devices. 

Applications:

• User Engagement: Enhances user interaction by providing metrics such as biological age and remaining lifespan, motivating healthier lifestyle choices.
• Dynamic Risk Stratification: Enables segmentation of populations based on health risks, identifying individuals with increased susceptibility to age-related diseases.
• Public Health Monitoring: Facilitates real-time monitoring of population health dynamics in response to public health initiatives across various demographics.
• Longevity Digital Trials: Supports digital biomarkers in longevity studies, aiding in the evaluation of interventions aimed at extending healthspan.

By leveraging AI and ubiquitous mobile technology, GeroSense democratizes access to health monitoring tools, empowering individuals and researchers to make data-driven decisions in the pursuit of extended health and longevity.
