State-of-the-Art Technology: Los Gatos Longevity Institute

We are pleased to be one of the very few centers in the US to offer the very latest in computerized Longevity and Anti-Aging testing technologies that allow us to measure your own Biomarkers of Aging

These are the various biological and physiological "markers" that can tell us the difference between your stated chronological age and your true biological age. They become important in gauging the overall progress being made once a comprehensive Longevity and Anti-Aging program has been started at the Institute. They can also be used for peak sports fitness and various fat loss programs.

The H-Scan 820 computer system is a sophisticated series of 12 tests that measure physical, level I, biomarkers of Aging. It includes vibro-tactile, visual accommodation and hearing tone tests, motor skills and coordination, cognitive abilities, and lung function tests (Spirometry). This test is self-directed and takes about 50 minutes to complete.

Auditory Reaction Time	Highest Audible Pitch
Vibrotactile Sensitivity	Visual Reaction time
Muscle movement time	Lung: Forced Vital Capacity
Lung: Forced Expiratory Volumes	Visual Reaction Times with Decision
Muscle Movement with Decision	Memory, Length of Sequence
Alternate Button Tapping	Visual Accommodation

An impressive 2 page color report is then generated graphing each of these functions with a printout of your computed biological age (as opposed to your chronological age).

[Groups and Institutions interested in the purchase of the H-Scan for determining Biomarkers of Aging measurements are encouraged to fill out a brief questionnaire. The units are now available in English, Spanish, German and Japanese. Short-sequence video instruction (AVI) help aids are currently part of the English version -- and will soon to be offered in the Spanish, Japanese and German versions.]

We also feature the state-of-the-art ELG system which accurately measures percent body fat, lean muscle mass and basal metabolic rate (BMR). This test has been combined with a really comprehensive medical risk analysis module comprising 60 questions of daily health, exercise, eating and blood chemistries. Very targeted recommendations can then be determined.

You will receive a 5 page color report that can be used in our total Longevity and Anti-Aging programs as well as fat loss and other wellness programs.

Level II testing includes the most comprehensive and state-of-the-art blood testing to be found in any AntiAging program:
