Tally Health, a revolutionary consumer-facing biotechnology company founded to change the way we age, launches. Co-Founded by Dr. David Sinclair, one of the world’s foremost experts on aging and human longevity, Tally Health develops proprietary, science-backed technology aimed at improving healthspan and extending longevity at the cellular level. Recent research led by Dr. Sinclair suggests that cellular aging may be driven by changes to the “epigenome,” the machinery that helps read the DNA code.
In a recently published scientific study in the prestigious journal Cell, Sinclair and his team presented 13 years of research showing that epigenetic changes can be safely reversed in mice to improve the function of tissues, akin to reinstalling cellular software. Another important research development has been an improved ability to quantify biological age by reading the epigenome, a measure of one’s unique rate of aging and overall health . All of these findings have yet to be replicated in humans.

Consumer interest in the longevity space has exploded, with the global longevity economy projected to reach $27 trillion in 2026 and the AgeTech segment reaching $2.7 trillion by 2025 . Tally Health is bringing these innovative tools and science directly to consumers and has amassed a nearly 270,000-person waiting list.
Individuals can learn their biological age, or TallyAge™, with Tally’s easy-to-use, at-home, non-invasive cheek swab test. Tally Health uses a proprietary biological aging clock and a next-generation DNA analysis procedure to analyze genetic modifications that change throughout aging and reflect lifestyle habits.
The TallyAge clock has been trained on the largest and most diverse consumer DNA dataset for adult human buccal tissue, with over 8,000 samples. The test reads the abundance of epigenetic DNA modifications called “methyls” that change with aging and depend on lifestyle habits. An individual’s TallyAge is then calculated using Tally’s proprietary machine learning model.
