Here comes a new iPhone app which collects users’ health data from Apple’s Healthkit to tell them how long they are gonna live. Dubbed ‘Deadline’, the new $1 iOS app claims that it will accurately predict users’ death date by obtaining their medical data from Apple HealthKit.
“Deadline uses statistical information to attempt to determine your date of expiration, but no app can really accurately determine when you will die, so consider this a way to motivate yourself to be healthier, and consult a physician as necessary,” the Deadline app description reads.
The app takes into account users’ statistical information including sex, birthday, blood pressure, height, quality of sleep, activity, and weight and combines it with their Health Kit data such as number of steps taken each days and flights of stairs climbed to predict an estimate of the date and time they will expire.
After tapping on the information the app works out to present the user with a countdown clock showcasing how much time they are left with on this Earth in years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds. The app offers a handy widget that slots into the iPhone’s revamped notification center and on the lock screen.
However, increasing the amount of physical activity carried out every day, which shows in user’s Healthkit data, can extend the amount of life the app shows as remaining. The ultimate aim of the app is it to encourage people to be more physically active.
The app is currently available for download in the iTunes for devices running iOS 8.
