The instrument, called DOSI, uses artificial intelligence to work out body resilience, the ability to recover from injury or disease. If a person’s trends hold into old age, the app finds a complete loss of human body resilience won’t occur until around age 120 to 150. Dr. Pyrkov and the team used the progressive loss to predict the maximum human lifespan. The predicted weakening in the healthiest, most successfully aging individuals sheds light on why the maximum lifespan appears to plateau at 150. Therefore, the aging model the app has produced may help guide scientists who are creating life-extending therapies.
