I used the ‘Death Clock’ health app to predict when I’ll die

How many days until you meet your doom?
While it sounds vaguely like a horror movie premise, a new app promises to deliver the approximate day you’ll die — and actionable ways to extend your life.

The Death Clock app utilizes AI to provide such sunny statistics as your death date, life expectancy, biological age, and top three coffin culprits that are likely to kill you.
In developing the app, Death Clock founder Brent Franson and his team trained their proprietary AI model using more than 1,200 longevity studies.
“That allows the AI to adjust a user’s predicted life expectancy based on their habits, lab data, and other health information, producing a personalized and dynamic estimate rather than a static one,” he told The Post.
By signing up for a free trial, you can see said dynamic estimates with death stats delivered by a cartoon grim reaper who cheekily tells you to “save the date” for your own expiration.
The app makes the information all the more real by informing you of how many weekends and full moons you have left in your mortal coil.
As I write about health and am thus well versed in all the things that can kill you quicker, I generally try and err on the side of life extension; I don’t drink or smoke, I eat my vegetables, keep sugar to a minimum and work out regularly.
I entered that info into the app, as well as my age, family history, sleep habits, exercise schedule, sociability, and frequency of health screenings.
Despite my noble efforts, I was anxious at the prospect of finding out my death date.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that my projected age for the big sleep was 99. Cue smugness born of being boring but healthy, folks.
Death Clock also provides a list of the three ways you are most likely to die.
In my case, I’ll likely be pushing up daisies due to cardiovascular health issues, metabolic health concerns, and/or a lack of preventative healthcare.
Regardless off your number, there’s no need to go running and screaming from the Grim Reaper just yet.
“No one can predict the exact day someone will die, and that is not the goal,” Franson said.
“While our model does show an exact date of death based on current health and another based on optimal health, the right way to think about it is as your current life expectancy and your potential life expectancy.”
He noted that we all wake up with the same choice every day: Are we going to do things that shorten our lives — or extend them?
On that note, it offers offers tips on how to prevent or delay these death triggers.
“We think of the Four Horsemen of aging as heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s and other dementias, and metabolic dysfunction such as type 2 diabetes,” he explained.
Identifying and addressing these risks is just as important as the risks themselves.
“Every user’s plan is designed to find, track and reduce their personal risk in each category, because longevity is not about guessing when you will die, it is about changing what you do while you are alive,” he said.
Franson noted that when done early and consistently, screening for cancer and chronic disease saves and extends lives.
Meanwhile, metabolic dysfunction accelerates almost every major disease of aging — so maintaining stable glucose levels can add years to my dance card.
Because heart disease remains the number one ender of lives, the app recommends testing for lipoprotein(a), combined with regular blood testing for ApoB and LDL-C, to help identify risk and treatment that can add a cool three years to my life and kick me into centenarian territory.
Part of Franson’s motivation for creating the app is his belief that our healthcare system is built to treat, rather than prevent disease.
“It is reactive, fragmented, and leaves people to figure out health on their own. Death Clock exists to fill that gap. You can centralize all of your health data along with clear recommendations for living longer,” he said.
Let’s be honest—no matter how stressful the day gets, a good viral video can instantly lift your mood. Whether it’s a funny pet doing something silly, a heartwarming moment between strangers, or a wild dance challenge, viral videos are what keep the internet fun and alive.
