Hi Product Hunt!
I wanted to know the impact of my virtues and vices on longevity, and how far along the ride I already am. So I made a tool for that! Let me know what you think about the idea and the execution, the good and the bad, and how to improve it.
The engine contains handfuls of scientific meta-analyses, the findings of which I recalculated to make them all play well together. It shows the effects of your smallest behavioral change in real-time.
After mapping your current self, you can start to play around and see what your future self could look like if you started slacking off, or improved on any of the metrics. And how you stack up to national and global averages. While you're at it, you might want to moonlight as your friend or family member, fill out their characteristics, to see how they fare.
I personally found it quite daunting how much impact your country or gender has on longevity. If you’re a chain smoking, permanently drunk, catastrophically inactive woman from Norway, you’re still gonna outlive a man from Cameroon that does basically everything right. It really makes you think. It’s all in the tool if you play around a little.
With that said, go and find out where you can improve, and get after those years! I didn't make this whole pinball machine for nothing :)
congrats on the launch, mylifebar sounds like a deep dive into behavioral science with immediate feedback. it's intriguing how national averages compare across different metrics. does the tool also take into account changing trends or advancements in medical technology that might affect these longevity predictions in real-time?
@mashy Glad you like it Albert! The tool takes into account current expected lifespan only. I'm not the right person to forecast when penicillin 2.0 will drop, and chart what its effects on longevity will be. But in the next big product update, I could definitely extrapolate the current trend in lifespan growth per country a few decades forward. Thanks for the inspiration.
