Can a Website Predict How Long You will Live?



Humans are like time bombs they have limited time on earth. The are a lot of predictions on the length of human life depending on health and age and other such factors. Young.AI is a new product in beta testing face the uses artificial intelligence (A.I.) to predict a lifespan by tracking the age of our existence in order to derive a biological age hence finding out our lifespan.
Young.AI is a project of Insilico Medicine whose aim is to use “Artificial Intelligence For Drug Discovery, Biomarker Development & Aging Research.” This followed possibly the largest analysis conducted in the longevity field and produced a model using “several deep learning-based predictors of biological age trained upon population-specific blood biochemistry and haematological cell count datasets.” that was published in the Journal of Gerontology. "today, thanks to A.I. and the incredibly fast computational power of our deep learning neural networks, we can discover patterns and formulas in a huge pool of blood work that could not be discovered just a few years ago.” says Polina Mamoshina, a senior research scientist at Insilico Medicine, so AI analysis the company aligned blood Chemistry with age ethnicity and other data. The project looked at 21 common blood parameters and took those into account too. The algorithm produced is able to determine an individual’s life expectancy quite accurately.
A great part of this all is that it is free. One can simply visit the Young.AI website. One has to, however, have to have their blood locally tested for 18 parameters, and then upload the results to the Young.AI site, along with a facial photo for another Insilico AI algorithm that can assess ageing based on visual indicators. It only takes a few seconds for the site to return a report, and you have your answers in your hands.

You Could Be Your Own Twin!

You may just be your twin. How is that possible? Well, there is something known as chimerism. This is a rare case when two fertilized embryos don’t identify each other as siblings and fuse to form one foetus. In other words when one twin fuses into the other forming one baby with two kinds of genetic material. This is also known as the Vanishing Twin Syndrome. It is very likely that people don’t realise their dual DNA nature and fail to recognise themselves as chimeras. There are about 100 cases of chimerism so far however with the advancements in genetic testing chimerism may become  more and more common. Chimerism is usually discovered by chance unless the mixing of genetic material causes unusual health problems like mixed blood or ambiguous genitalia may occur if the twins were of opposite sexes. Chimeras are born with different eye colours or unusual skin markings which many chimeras falsely understand as a birthmark, failing to realise it is actually their twins gen...
