How it works
Using a TouchScreen, AgeMeter® noninvasively tests physiological aging biomarkers.
We also offer a continuously updated AI Assisted Report on Resources for General Aging and Each of the AgeMeter Tested Biomarkers.
Every AgeMeter test worldwide adds anonymous data to the AgeMeter Cloud Database. The ability of the AgeMeter to automatically update functional age calculation as the database grows exponentially and easily add additional biomarker tests means that the AgeMeter is itself a perpetually expanding Global Aging Study that can become not just a product but eventually the largest aging study in the world.
AgeMeter
Functional and Biological Age Tests versus Chronological Age
Chronological age is birth age. Functional age is capability indexed by age-normed standards, using noninvasive physiological and mental age tests such as memory, reaction times, hearing, agility, decision speed, and movement speed. Biological age tests require blood and DNA analysis. Functional age tests compliment biological age tests by validating that a person can actually function at the indicated age. Receiving anonymous data from every test, the AgeMeter Cloud Database is an exponentially expanding Global Aging Study providing precision from its most recent status for every AgeMeter test, even redisplayed previous tests.
Seamless Test Administration
Clinical staff are not required to run the tests. The AgeMeter utilizes Apple’s progressive ecosystem, the iPad, and an intuitive and guided user interface to ensure users of all ages can easily navigate each test confidently. Error-checking features monitor every move and provide video guidance to assure that each procedure is correctly performed. Staff is needed only to enter a few items of information, and collect the results at the end. Testing time is about 30 minutes.
Minimal Test Admin
All the response data from AgeMeter is encrypted and anonymously stored on a centralized cloud-based database. Doctors will have access to an exclusive portal enabling them to view patient and participant test results, and compare performance against AgeMeter’s global database of participants. Each device, and even previous test results, will automatically update to reflect the most recent enhancements to algorithms and population of test respondents.
Global Database
Reports & Results
At the end of testing, AgeMeter provides scores and percentiles based on the global AgeMeter® database of respondents. Percentiles are displayed, providing a quick overview of strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, a combined functional age is also shown aggregating all results of the user. These reports are made easily accessible to the health care professional, researcher, or individual person.

What Scientists Are Saying
Dr. David Sinclair and Dr. George Church are two of the world’s most famous and honored researchers in the field, and they well understand the need for reliable biomarkers of aging. Dr. Sinclair’s lab restored the eyesight of elderly age related blind mice by by inserting genes that encode “reprogramming factors,” which regulate gene expression - in layman’s terms, making the retina cells younger and healthier. In one other well-known experiment, he and his team had rejuvenated the muscle tissue of 60-year old human-equivalent mice to resemble 20-year-human equivalents after one week of injections of the molecule NMN. Dr. Sinclair often talks about how he has shaved a decade off his life, using a combination of supplements and exercise.

Meanwhile, Dr. Church used a gene-altering technique to accomplish age reversal in a sample of his own cells. Dr. Church has been elected to membership in the top scientific body of the USA, The National Academy of Sciences. Dr. Church and Dr. Sinclair were selected by Time Magazine for their list of The World’s 100 Most Influential People.
The Agemeter® can greatly facilitate the search for genomic variations that may point the way toward uncovering the fundamental differences in rates of aging among different individuals. Toward that end, Dr. George Church and colleagues have been the initiators of the Personal Genome Project, whose goal is to obtain quality whole genome sequences of up to one thousand volunteers that would then be made publicly available to researchers. They are keenly interested in having such an easily deployed functional assay made available for such research.
