Healome is announcing the launch of their new public beta mobile app that determines a person’s biological age and helps them to decrease it. The new app uses data from users’ blood, which then measures their liver and kidney profile, blood pressure, and heart rate. This information shows how the user’s organs are aging and performing, and determines their biological age. The blood markers the app utilizes are the same type of data that doctors use when analyzing health.
In order to create healthy habits and decelerate their biological age, users can track their lifestyle choices over the long run, allowing them to focus on developing a healthier lifestyle. The app gamifies healthy habits, encouraging users to reduce stress, increase energy, and gain a better quality of sleep. Says Nikhil Yadala, Healome Founder, “We are targeting a large user base who spend money on improving their health by attending the gym, ordering preventative regular blood checkups, or even if the user is simply interested in maintaining their health over the long-term.”
Using a token system, various rewards and discounts can be earned, such as reductions on in-app purchases, healthcare products, and supplements, as well as insurance premiums. Earning tokens also comes with access to in-person events and access to the community on discord, where people share what works for them when improving healthy habits. This incentive decreases the user’s chance of contracting diseases, as well as increasing their energy levels and length of life.
Healome aims to make developing good health fun for the user, in contrast to other mortality-focused health programs. The use of tokens encourages users to share their progress and to easily understand how much their lifestyle and health have changed over time.
The data already aggregated by the app through diagnostic test center partnerships aims to help people experiment and figure out what works best for them, uncovering the correlation between specific daily habits, such as taking vitamin supplements, and their energy levels or sleep pattern.
The data compiled by the application can also be used in a research setting. This significant pool of anonymous data will likely reveal a specific protocol, supplement, or drug that can help many people improve their health.
Improving biological age through the app is something that will yield long-term benefits for many years to come. When someone is able to lower their biological age they are able to feel energetic and young, even later in life.
The creator of the app, Nikhil Yadala, has studied machine learning and computational biology. Yadala then became interested in biological age and how pharmaceutical aging drugs are not standardized, with fewer data on human trials, making it more difficult for people to self-experiment and figure out the appropriate protocol for the individual. By offering the Healome app to users around the world, the extensive data they hope to acquire can be analyzed and used for global solutions to unhealthy biological aging and poor lifestyle choices.
Says Yadala, “Our app is helping to address and provide solutions to wide-reaching and life-long healthcare issues. Incentivizing people to use healthy consumer-facing apps is a step in the right direction. It also needs to be understood that an app like this doesn’t just benefit the user, but it has much more to do with taking a step towards solving and globalizing the broader issues in healthcare that have yet to be resolved in the industry. With Healome we’re trying to resolve this problem. All of these issues can only be solved with a global platform because it has the possibility to revolutionize the industry through developing a more accessible, responsive, and personalized healthcare.”
