In contrast, chronic inflammation underlies the development of many diseases.
Everything from cancer to heart disease to dementia.
Marin and his team will measure changes in inflammation.
They are semi-finalists in a competition called XPRIZE HealthSpan.
If results are promising, more research will follow.
The use of health tech medical platforms such as GoodRx, LifeAlert, and Digital Health Records has increased from 35% of people 50 and up using them up to 46% in just one year.
The survey finds digital devices are deeply woven into the daily lives of adults 50+.

Doctors at Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute analyzed data from nearly 30,000 female nurses under the age of 50.
They found those who ate more ultra-processed foods, including salty, high-fat snacks, such as chips and sugary drinks, had a significantly higher risk of developing precancerous polyps.
Dr. Andrew Chan is an author of the study.

If you choose to drink alcohol, the standard advice has long been to limit consumption to up to one drink a day for women, two for men. But many experts now say this amount of daily drinking may be too high. Dr. Ashish Didwania of Northwestern University is among them.
