Pandemics and wars are the most crucial times in human history. Anthropological and sociological conditions are rushing through their limits. The associated death toll, casualties, and existential risks are making people more reality-focused and increasingly life-oriented due to survival instincts. This is an ideal storm for “eternity sellers”.
For those who prefer logic and scientific ways, there are experimental methods of enhancing health and prolonging of life created by biohackers. The most basic and first step in any medical treatment is monitoring of the body's condition. This report deals with one of the first apps that gives users descriptions and recommendations for improving their health conditions and everyday life. Apps' algorithms and methods have a lot in common with Indian and Tibetan medical practices.
