Humanity is an app that enables you to live a healthier longer life. It does that by providing a monitoring service for biomarkers that are closely connected to loss of function in different parts of the body over time (aging). The service then empowers you to try different interventions/solutions to help move those biomarkers in a positive direction and thus reduce, and in some cases, stop the loss of function and thus the aging damage. You will also be able to help accelerate aging science discoveries and thus directly help save millions of lives (including your own).
