‘Death Test’ can Help Predict the Time You Have Left to Live

People can now calculate how long they have left to live thanks to a new ‘death test’ developed by a team of British researchers.

A painless laser pulse is applied to the surface of the skin through a wristwatch-style device.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome - Overview
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is death of a baby, under one year of age that occurs in sleep and cannot be explained.

This measures how a person's body will decline with age by analysing endothelial cells.

These cells line the smallest blood vessels, capillaries, in our bodies and respond to complex activity elsewhere in the body.

By measuring the oscillations within the cells, the scientists say they can calculate the length of time before death and also test for diseases including cancer and dementia, the Sunday Times reported.

Accident and Trauma Care - Golden Hour - Taking Care - Don’t
Accident and trauma care is an important public health challenge that requires immediate attention. Injury (trauma) is the leading cause of death for all age groups under the age of 44.

The result is graded from 0 for death to 100 for optimum functioning. The predictions become more accurate as more data is added.

A user-friendly version of the system is expected to be completed within the next three years.

Decreased Consciousness - Symptom Evaluation
Consciousness can be decreased to various degrees and result in conditions like delirium, stupor, coma, persistent vegetative state, minimal conscious state and brain death.
