Death Clock – AI application that can predict human lifespan

Death Clock – an innovative app that uses artificial intelligence (AI) – is capable of accurately predicting a person's lifespan based on a number of factors such as diet.

Launched in July, the AI-powered app uses advanced algorithms to predict users' lifespans, by analyzing more than 1,200 longevity studies and data from 53 million participants.

Death Clock users will be asked to complete a questionnaire that includes basic information such as age, gender and ethnicity, as well as detailed questions about family history, mental health and chronic diseases. Diet, exercise habits, stress levels and sleep duration are also factored in by advanced algorithms to provide the most accurate prediction of a person's time of death possible.

Additionally, financial planners are also paying close attention to Death Clock because of its potential to promote more prudent financial planning for retirement.

'A big concern for seniors, those in retirement, is outliving their money ,' financial planner Ryan Zabrowski told Forbes, adding that AI-powered tools like Death Clock can help people make informed financial decisions to better handle the issue in their later years.

While the app was primarily designed to estimate life expectancy, it is quickly gaining popularity due to its broader applications. Users are not only curious about their death date, but also want to better understand how to improve their health and make better lifestyle choices. The app provides personalized recommendations on nutrition, physical activity, and stress management to help users adopt healthier habits that can extend their lives.

Judging by the information from a variety of data, Death Clock can produce pretty optimistic results. For example, TechCrunch reporter Anthony Ha recently used the app and learned that he would die in his 90s, with a chance of extending his life to 103 if he made some lifestyle changes.

With over 125,000 downloads since its launch in July, Death Clock is certainly one of the most talked about AI-powered apps out there.
