Just as there may be studies that do not contribute anything to your life, there are others that are done by the science and that they extract very revealing data, in this case, that by how you walk, scientists tell you how long you have left to live.
The study shows that through motion sensors the risk of mortality can be predicted up to five years later. The research raises the possibility that through motion sensors in phones, the health of a patient can be monitored without having to attend a doctor’s appointment.
This study was published in the journal PDLS Digital Health which was carried out with more than 100,000 Britons in the UK Biobank project which has been collecting biometric data from people since 2006. Scientists will continue this for another 14 years.
Data collected by a smartwatch was used by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a model that breaks down a person’s acceleration and distance traveled into 6-minute chunks.

Cardiac and pulmonary measurements are taken during a medical appointment, but without leaving home. The funny thing is that the predictions of how long you live by how you walk were 73% effective after five years.
The interesting thing about this topic is that these investigations can be carried out with very cheap phones, which can make the studies much cheaper and with data from more people. But, there is also a need for the sample to be larger for the studies to be much more conclusive.
At the end of the day, the joke is that, through technology, it is possible to improve the health of the population. These projects are important for that very reason. What did you think of this detail? You can also contact us through Discord, Twitter Y Facebook.
