If the Apple Watch for imminent market introduction will be successful, much of the credit of the app will be available.

What is therefore better to be talked about an app that predicts how much time left to live? Probably nothing, and in fact Life Clock, app created by Reahbstudio, has already captured the attention of everyone.

Life Clock shows on the dial of the Apple Watch a countdown that shows the time that still remains: a little ‘macabre, if we want, but its inventors claim that it is a way to spur on make the most of every minute.

The app is based on the activities performed by the user to estimate the life expectancy, removing minutes if the activities are harmful to health and adding if it is beneficial.

For example, if the user is a smoker, for each cigarette consumed will erode a certain amount of minutes, and the remaining time will be reduced accordingly; in contrast, choosing healthy foods and doing physical activity will add minutes to their lives.

It will then be the same app to suggest, from time to time, to make some beneficial effects, such as going out for a walk.

The degree of accuracy? Very questionable, but the intent is not, as we said, be scientifically impeccable; Life Clock aims to push its members to improve the lifestyle.

When Life Clock is only a concept and not even a real app to download, but given the attention obtained it may soon become a reality.

Meanwhile, those seeking a motivator technological content of this for not throwing the weather can turn to similar ideas emerged over time: if the idea of ​​a clock showing how much time left to live is already was patented in 1991 but has never seen the light, there are alternatives a bit ‘more concrete as the bracelet that predicts the date of death, or the blood test that with 500 euro does the same thing, or even testing DNA.
