Consumer health app monitors biological age using digital biomarkers and wearable data, offering personalized recommendations to extend healthspan.
Humanity is a UK-based consumer health app that monitors biological age and provides personalized recommendations to slow the aging process. The app integrates digital biomarkers with wearable data, comparing user health metrics against longitudinal biobank data to offer actionable lifestyle insights aimed at extending healthspan. The company has raised $5 million in total funding, including a $2.5 million seed round in August 2021, and reported thousands on its waitlist for early access, with its app achieving the number one ranking for "health span" in the App Store. Early investors include One Way Ventures and angel investor Esther Dyson, while its Science Advisory Board features notable figures such as George Church, Aubrey de Grey, and Kristen Fortney. Humanity was founded around 2019 by co-founders Peter Ward, previously of WAYN, and Michael Geer, formerly of Badoo.
Humanity has raised $21.4M across 6 funding rounds.

Humanity (humanity.health) is a UK-based consumer technology company developing a mobile app that tracks users' biological aging through digital, blood, and genetic biomarkers to provide personalized lifestyle recommendations for extending health span.[4][8] It serves individuals seeking to slow aging and reduce disease risk, solving the problem of limited actionable insights into personal aging processes by leveraging machine learning (ML) and AI models trained on biomedical data.[4][8] The app enables users to monitor their rate of aging and take targeted actions, positioning it in the growing longevity and preventive health tech market; while specific growth metrics are unavailable, its partnership with Neurons Lab for AI-enhanced datasets indicates scaling efforts amid data scarcity challenges.[4]
Humanity emerged from a mission to extend human health span using technology, founded as a consumer subscription service focused on biomarker tracking and AI-driven insights.[4][8] Specific founder details and exact founding year are not publicly detailed in available sources, but the company is UK-based and gained traction through innovative use of ML/AI to analyze user data for biological age determination and recommendations.[4] A pivotal moment was its partnership with Neurons Lab to augment limited real-user biomedical datasets with generative AI, addressing restrictions on personal data usage and enabling robust model training for scalable personalization.[4] This collaboration highlights early momentum in overcoming data hurdles central to its idea.
Humanity rides the longevity tech wave, fueled by advances in AI, genomics, and wearables that democratize anti-aging interventions amid rising demand for preventive health post-pandemic.[4][8] Timing aligns with market forces like aging populations, biomarker accessibility via consumer devices, and AI's ability to process vast health data—despite regulatory hurdles on personal datasets, which Humanity navigates through synthetic generation.[4] It influences the ecosystem by advancing AI applications in biomedicine, inspiring similar tools in personalized health while contributing to ethical data use in consumer AI, potentially accelerating mainstream adoption of health span optimization.
Humanity is poised to expand with enhanced AI models from generative data partnerships, targeting broader biomarker integration and global user growth in the booming $100B+ longevity market.[4] Trends like multimodal AI (combining wearables, blood tests, genetics) and regulatory support for health AI will shape its path, potentially evolving into ecosystem partnerships with pharma or insurers for validated outcomes. Its influence may grow by setting standards for accessible aging tech, empowering users to proactively extend health spans—reinforcing its core promise that technology can make staying healthy longer achievable for all.[8]
