Researchers have developed a new 'body clock' tool that calculates people’s biological age and predicts the risk of disability or death. The Health Octo Tool uses eight metrics from physical exams and bloodwork to determine results, offering a comprehensive view of overall wellness. The tool focuses on 'health entropy' to assess aging rates of organ systems and the whole body. It aims to discover biomarkers for aging and therapeutics. A digital app is in development for individuals to track their biological age and the impact of lifestyle changes.
