Apple Health Lifespan Leaderboard

Last weekend I was supposed to be enjoying a vacation with my family. Instead, I had gnarly allergies, which devolved into some sort of flu. Thankfully, I think my fever broke last night, but we’re not quite out of the woods yet. I have a lingering, gross cough.

As I lay in bed at death’s door (not really, but imagine with me for a moment), I started to consider sharing health information with other people. Some apps like Oura and Whoop do a decent job of tracking this information, but making it fun and social is still an underserved area in the market. What if you could aggregate all of your health data to form an estimated lifespan and then compete with your friends?

The hardest part about this would be getting reliable data. However, if you could pull this off I feel like it could make for a pretty compelling app experience. It’s morbid, but a great motivator for the right type of person.
