New 'death clock' app claims to predict when you will die and how to live longer

"It's like having a personal grim reaper"

As if life couldn't get any bleak than it is already, an app can supposedly tell you when you're set to die.

Some believe in the afterlife and don't fear death, whereas others think they can try and outrun death through methods such as biohacking. Either way, a new app uses artificial intelligence (AI) to predict when you're set to pop your clogs, but is it actually accurate?

The app

The app - aptly called 'Death Clock' - is available to download off whatever device you have's app store.

On Apple's App Store the description reads: "We're all going to die. It's just a question of when. Death Clock, powered by AI and backed by science, gives you the cold, hard truth about your lifespan based on your current habits.

"But don't worry - we'll also tell you how to cheat death for a little longer. It's like having a personal grim reaper, but with health tips."

It's reported by the Post as costing $40-a-year and here's how it supposedly works.

How it works

First, the app requires you to fill in a 'short questionnaire' where you answer questions about your health and also day-to-day lifestyle.

The app then reportedly compares the answers of your questions to the results of a whopping 1,217 scientific studies and that means it can tell you not just the year you're set to die, but the exact day too, alongside 'life expectancy, biological age and health score'.

"Don't shoot the messenger," it notes.

This all sounds very bleak, but the app's purpose is really the opposite, Death Clock describing itself as 'the number one' app for 'AI-powered longevity'.

Indeed, rather than simply leaving you with your predicted date of death and that being that, the app then offers 'personalized habit recommendations' suggesting 'changes to help you outlive your enemies and show how your life expectancy could improve'.

"Or not," it continues. "It's your call."

If you do decide to put it's tips into practice, it claims you'll then see 'your life expectancy tick up like a morbid scoreboard'.

Oh, and your 'AI companion' is on standby to help support you 'on your road to health and happiness'.

Founder Brent Franson told The Post: "In today’s world, healthcare is typically reactive, intervening only when problems arise and often too late

"Death Clock represents the shift to Medicine 3.0, where individuals are equipped with comprehensive knowledge about their health and encouraged to proactively manage their wellness to enjoy longer, healthier lives."

And the app's actually had pretty glowing reviews so far.

Does it actually work?

One Apple App Store user wrote: "I had the same outcome as a fortune teller told me 25 years ago."

And whether it's death prediction is right? Well, we'll just have to wait for someone who downloaded it to pop their clogs and confirm won't we?
