What Is Next After the Apple Watch?

Bob Messerschmidt, former Apple platform architect, details his journey from biochemistry and optics to developing a home device for measuring inflammation. The discussion centers on erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) as a key marker for tracking systemic inflammation and predicting longevity. Messerschmidt explains how ESR, unlike CRP, serves as a reliable biological clock, increasing with age in Western lifestyles but not in agrarian societies. He shares his personal experience of reducing inflammation through dietary changes, including omega-3s and tart cherry juice, and GLP-1 agonists. The potential for Core Health to release anonymized user data for research and the development of interventions to lower ESR are also highlighted.
