About
You know that life expectancy is about 85.
But did you know that healthy life expectancy is only 65? Seniors live with limitation and pain for about 20 years of their lives. Many of those pain and diseases are preventible.
Of the different angles to improve healthy life expectancy, we start with Frailty. Frailty affects 49% of seniors above 65. Frailty leads to loss of equilibrium, a bad falling, long rehab, sedentarism, sarcopenia, and eventual loss of autonomy and dependency.
But frailty can be reverted, as proven by longevity professor Jose Viña. We are taking this methodology to the online world, to help people reduce their risk of developing frailty, which helps both the body and the mind (dementia is more directly correlated with the walking mechanics than any cognitive test).
We do that in the form of Rosita, a coach that helps seniors diagnose and treat their limiting pains to create a longevity strategy, so that in 10 years time they are not 10 years older.
