High-Fidelity Visualization of Aging Outcomes
XPRIZE
Posts: 193 admin
Outcome
A service that would combine data from several different sources (e.g. MRI, lab tests, epigenetic age markers, habits questionnaire, activity tracking, etc.) to visualize projected aging outcomes for individuals.
Impact
Such a service would help accelerate drug development by showing the effects that certain drugs and other external factors would have on an individual’s aging process. The data collected could also aid in developing a more robust unified theory of aging, and to increase public awareness of the aging process. Finally, if the system were capable of providing people with real-time information about their health, it could help people become more aware of how they are biologically aging and encourage healthier lifestyle choices.
