AgeMeter is the modern successor to the H-SCAN Functional Age Test, which helped pioneer functional biological age measurement in 1990 and was presented at the first A4M conference. The H-SCAN sold for $23,750 for more than two decades.

Centers For Age Control Inc. became an H-SCAN worldwide dealer and later its sole distributor. When the H-SCAN inventor semi-retired and discontinued the system, he encouraged our founder to create a modern internet- and touchscreen-enabled successor. That work became AgeMeter, which has also been exhibited at A4M events.

AgeMeter founder Elliott Small studied Biochemical Sciences at Harvard College. Discussions with Dr. George Church helped shape the need for cost-effective, standardized, quantitative insight across multiple physiological measures. Dr. Church serves as an AgeMeter Science Advisor. The advisory board and team are presented below.

AgeMeter noninvasively measures guided physiological and performance biomarkers. Functional age and individual biomarker percentile results are calculated from versioned, research-based reference data. The calculations do not depend on the growth of an AgeMeter cloud database.

AgeMeter measures functional performance rather than DNA methylation or blood chemistry. Functional trends can be considered alongside genetic, epigenetic, blood, or saliva tests—including a service such as TallyAge—to provide complementary perspectives on aging and change over time.

Selected background reading includes Dr. David Sinclair’s Lifespan: Why We Age—and Why We Don’t Have To and Dr. George Church’s Regenesis: How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and Ourselves. See the AgeMeter Science & Validation page for selected foundational literature.

AgeMeter is not a laboratory test, medical diagnostic test, or substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or care.
