Considering I should have died already a couple of times, sure? Why not?

Edit Googled it, ran it, it’s about as accurate as one of those “Which Lord of the Rings characters are you?” quizzes.

Do you smoke?
Do you drink?
Do you exercise?
Do you eat processed foods?
Do you have a family history of major health conditions?

That’s it. Came back with +20 years for me. Unlikely since I’ve had 2 heart attacks and have other major medical issues.

My expectation is another 3 to 5 years, tops.

I hope you’re wrong and you have a lot more time than that left

I hope so too, but I’m not expecting it. :(

Here’s a story… the last heart attack, in January, was in the middle of a snow and ice storm. The hospital needed to get me to another hospital for the stent because they couldn’t do it, but because of the ice, the ambulance couldn’t get there.

So I wake up the next morning and I’m fiddling on my phone, modding lemmy, such as you do.

Nurse comes in and he goes “Were you asleep about an hour ago?”

“Yeah, why?”

“Your heart stopped for 8 seconds.”

“. . . Um… thank you? I… don’t know what I’m supposed to do with that information.”

So I have an implant now, it calls out through my phone if my heart stops again.

paraphrand ,

I wish you well.

MrEff ,

I think they left out the most obvious questions-

Are you super rich?

Can you afford elective heath operations that will potentially prevent life ending illnesses or affliction?

Can you afford expensive lifestyles tailored for your health?

Can you afford to reduce all forms of stress in your life and live with no worries?

Sounds like health data collection for me. So nope i won’t try it unless you pay for my data.

HubertManne ,

chomping at the bit

FYI, the term is “champing at the bit”

Article about it

Haquer ,

Yes but language evolves and “chomping” has far overtaken the original in daily parlance.

Roy and Moss did this once. It did not end well for Roy.

The Life2vec model was trained exclusively on Danish data, which means its accuracy may not translate well to individuals from other countries. As Professor Sune Lehmann Jørgensen from the Technical University of Denmark, who led the research, pointed out, the model’s predictions might not be as precise for non-Danish populations.

TipRing ,

If I want to know when I’m going to die, I’ll ask an actuary like we did in the old days.

SGforce ,

This is just a data harvesting scam. Bring it back to Facebook
