People are more interested in lengthening their life than ever before. For age conscious consumers that don’t know the ideal way to reduce aging, we have developed a free app with free DNA testing (telomeres). Our system tracks their progress and biological age and combines that aggregate data. We made it fun and easy to track and learn the best age defying practices, which results in more complete overall maintenance of your true biological age.

We connect people with hereditary cancer risk mutations with others that have exactly the same mutation. Our platform will provide users with a community space that will facilitate opportunities for users to interact with relatives in order to improve understanding of their family history and share strategies for cancer prevention. We will offer education to help take advantage of those opportunities and help businesses reach people when they are making family history and prevention purchasing decisions. ConnectMyVariant plans on utilizing a multi-sided platform model that first connects different people involved in cancer prevention with each other, then connects those groups with family history vendors and health systems that seek these patients. Our ultimate goal is to help identify all at-risk individuals and increase uptake of proven medical interventions to prevent all hereditary cancer.
