Eterly is a health and fitness app envisioned and designed by longevity experts.

= History = Eterly was founded in Vancouver, BC, in 2016 by Andrew Ahachinsky, CEO. The project consists of a front facing mobile app, designed to be intuitive and easy to use, and powered by an AI chatbot, and a blockchain back end, which is used for data storage and to merge user’s recorded activity and consumption data with the most recent research into fighting the aging process, submitted by medical research facilities, scientists, and academic institutions.

Ahachinsky says that he first conceived the idea for Eterly after trying numerous diets, including the Fast Mimicking Diet created by Dr Valter Longo of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California. Although Ahachinsky found that the diets were effective, he was unwilling to go through the procedure several times every year and began to search for alternative ways to maintain a fitter, happier, and longer life.

Eterly’s mobile app was designed and built by…..the app is compatible with most fitness wearable devices, such as Fitbit, Apple Watch, Jawbone and others. The app is capable of receiving data from these wearables and storing it. The data is subsequently used to make smart, proactive recommendations in real time about how users can make small adjustments to their lifestyles to achieve better health and fitness results, and possibly even live longer.

Eterly’s app also calculates a “longevity score” using an algorithm driven by AI and machine learning. The algorithm looks at thousands of different data points collected by the app and assesses the likely lifespan of the user. The score is recalculated on a daily basis.

Eterly’s blockchain back end is considered a key differentiator from both wearable fitness devices and health assessment platforms. The idea is that data can be supplied by the user to the blockchain, where it can be safely and securely stored. Then, using the blockchain, the anonymised data can be merged with scientific data, focused on the latest findings in the fields of life sciences, biogerontology, and longevity and used to provide actionable recommendations.

The Eterly project consists of 4 component structures;

1/ The Mobile Application

2/ The Blockchain back end

3/ Artifical Intelligence & Big Data Analysis

4/ An Open Marketplace

The Open Marketplace will be a platform where users can rate, compare and purchase longevity and health products and treatments. The products will be subject to approval from the scientists active on the platform.

In 2018 Eterly announced that it would be launching an ICO to raise $15m of extra funding, which will be used to develop the app and AI chatbot, blockchain storage system, and to incentivise scientists, researchers and medical health professionals to join the platform. A pre-ICO will begin in March.

Tokens, known as Lifecoins will be able to be “mined” by users of the app for volunteering their data to the platform, and for successfully completing the personalised fitness tasks set by the app. The Lifecoins will also be used to reward scientsts for contributing to the platform, the awarding of grants and in exchange for the scientists work curating the products featured on the platform.

Blockchain and AI
Eterly will employ some of the latest techniques in the fields of blockchain, AI and machine learning. One notable development will be the use of AI-driven machine learning predictive analytics - essentially the merging of research and anonymised user data to try to establish user’s likely lifespans, or to identfy if they may have a susceptibility to a particular kind of life-threatening or terminal disease.

Problem and solution.
Eterly’s pitch deck cites data published by the United Nations that estimates that the world’s population is aging at its fastest ever rate. The data suggests that the current number of people over the age of 60; 0.9 billion, will increase to 2,1 billion by 2050. The UN calls growth in the number of older persons “a global phenomenon”, and says that “virtually every country in the world will experience a substantial increase in the size of the population aged 60 years or over between 2015 and 2030.”

Again, referring to the pitch deck, Eterly describes a number of solutions that the app and underlying platform will provide: The solutions will use elements of:
 * Exclusive access to advanced restorative medicine technologies
 * Personalised longevity programs
 * Health management by world leadign experts
 * Deep diagnostics: big data analysis, not invasive continuous monitoring; total lifestyle evaluation.
 * Advanced prognostics: virtual huma prognostics, backed by science and a community of scientists
 * Personalised P3 programs:  intelligent personal offerings, in application gamification
 * Preventative P3 recommendations: open marketplace, personalised offerings, optimized products, preventative approaches

App development and blockchain backend
Ahachinsky and CTO Nikolai Kholmogorov recruited an in-house design team to develop the app. The app is compatible with most fitness wearable devices, such as Fitbit, Apple Watch, Jawbone and others. The app is capable of receiving data from these wearables and storing it. The data is subsequently used to make smart, proactive recommendations in real time about how users can make small adjustments to their lifestyles to achieve better health and fitness results, and possibly even live longer.

Eterly’s app also calculates a “longevity score” using an algorithm driven by AI and machine learning. The algorithm looks at thousands of different data points collected by the app and assesses the likely lifespan of the user. The score is ockchain, the project will aim to use neural networks, a kind of computational system inspired by animal’s brains.
