Build Your Own Digital Twin for Your Longevity Needs

Sunday 18 October · Afternoon · 2 hours

What this workshop is

We’ll look at the health and longevity apps currently on the market and their strengths and weaknesses, walk through Hygieia, the one Jacqui has started building for herself, and then you can start building yours.

The 5 closest apps to Hygieia

1. Heads Up Health

Closest overall comparison. Broad dashboard, polished, less source-grounded and less custom.

2. Function Health

Strong biomarker-first UX. User-friendly, less flexible as a personal system.

3. InsideTracker

Strong on trends and recommendations. More opinionated and productized.

4. Apple Health

Familiar, mobile-friendly baseline. Better as a repository than a full digital twin.

5. Bearable / CareClinic

Good for symptoms, routines, and daily state. Weaker on biomarker depth and provenance.
