A groundbreaking study demonstrates how wearable technology can accurately estimate biological age and predict future health outcomes. The research reveals strong connections between accelerated aging signals and chronic disease development, offering new possibilities for preventive healthcare.
Wearable Technology Revolutionizes Aging Assessment
Researchers have developed a novel method for estimating biological age using data from consumer wearable devices, according to reports published in Nature Communications. The technology, termed PpgAge, analyzes photoplethysmography (PPG) signals from Apple Watch to create what scientists describe as an “aging clock” with significant implications for longevity research and clinical practice.
