New App Can Predict Your Death Date
Published at
iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Most people don’t know what they’ll be doing this weekend, much less the answer to the biggest question of all: When are you going to die? Well, a new iOS app called Deadline can’t make plans for your weekend but it will supposedly give you an idea of when you’ll meet your maker, provided something unforeseen doesn’t happen first.
Scanning your iPhone’s Healthkit tool, Deadline uses information like height, blood pressure, hours slept, steps walked daily and a few other pertinent facts to give you a ballpark date and time of when you’ll breathe your last breath.
The app’s maker, Gist LLC, wrote on the Apple iTunes page that, “No app can really accurately determine when you will die. Instead, the app actually monitors your own health and motivates you to make better lifestyle choices or consult a physician, if necessary.”
So while no one lives forever, at least you might be able to improve your lifestyle a bit to extend your own personal deadline.
