Functional longevity measurement

Your phone has been measuring your health for years.

You just haven't seen it yet.

Your phone's motion sensors silently capture how fast you walk, how symmetrically you step, how consistently your stride holds. GaitIQ makes that data visible — as a signature that's uniquely yours, changing over time.

The Insight

Doctors have known this for 15 years.
Your phone has been measuring it for 5.
GaitIQ shows you the connection.

Gait speed predicts survival more accurately than blood pressure, BMI, or cholesterol. Your phone's motion sensors have been silently capturing your walking speed, stride length, step symmetry, and balance — multiple times a day — since you first carried it. That data has never been shown to you.

Clinically validated

Gait speed is the sixth vital sign — validated in a 34,000-person JAMA meta-analysis.

Already in your pocket

Your phone’s motion sensors generate 3–8 gait samples daily — no action required.

Never been connected

GaitIQ is the first product to make this signal visible, longitudinally, to you.

What GaitIQ Measures

A signature, not a score.

GaitIQ creates two longitudinal health signatures from sensors already in your phone.

Movement IQ

Six dimensions of how you move

Pace
Normalised walking speed — primary longevity predictor
Symmetry
Left/right step balance — joint health and cognitive marker
Stride
Step length relative to height — leg strength and neurological efficiency
Steadiness
Stride-to-stride consistency — fall risk and balance
Flow
Swing-to-stance ratio — movement quality and coordination
Confidence
Composite stability score — overall dynamic balance

Cognitive IQ

Six dimensions of how you process

Reaction
Tap latency and processing speed — measured passively in-app
Fluency
Typing dynamics and cognitive flow — captured from everyday use
Precision
Touch accuracy and psychomotor coordination
Stability
Fine motor control and hand tremor via continuous motion sensing
Memory
Working memory via monthly active sequence recall test
Clarity
Cognitive and psychomotor clarity via typing burst test

The twelve dimensions combine into your GaitIQ Signature — a radar unique to you, changing over time. The trajectory is the signal.

How It Works

You've already been doing it.

GaitIQ is passive by design. The monthly check-in is the only thing we ever ask you to do deliberately.

01

Passive collection

Your phone’s motion sensors deliver 3–8 validated gait measurements to GaitIQ daily. You carry your phone. That’s it.

02

Overnight processing

Each night your device processes the day’s data and updates your Movement Signature. No battery drain, no action required.

03

Monthly check-in

Once a month, a 3-minute guided walk and brief cognitive battery anchors your passive data to a controlled baseline.

Your signature has been forming for years. GaitIQ makes it visible.

The Science

Every claim is a citation.

GaitIQ measures what researchers have validated in peer-reviewed studies. The links below go to PubMed. We encourage you to check them.

±68%
Survival prediction from gait speed alone

In a 34,485-person meta-analysis, 10-year survival ranged from 19% to 87% based on walking speed at age 75 — stronger than most clinical biomarkers.

Studenski et al., JAMA 2011 — PMID 21205966
24.7×
Higher dementia risk from dual decline

Adults with simultaneous decline in gait speed and memory faced 24.7 times the dementia risk of those with neither decline.

Callisaya et al., JAMA Network Open 2022 — PMID 35639376
7 yrs
Gait slows before dementia symptoms appear

Gait changes are detectable 7 to 10 years before a clinical dementia diagnosis — making longitudinal gait tracking a meaningful early signal.

Dumurgier et al., J Alzheimers Dis 2017 — PMID 27302701
97.9%
Keystroke dynamics detect mild cognitive impairment

Passive typing pattern analysis achieved 97.9% sensitivity and 96.9% specificity in distinguishing MCI from healthy controls.

JMIR 2024 — PMID 39475819
16 yrs
Brisk walkers are biologically younger

Habitual brisk walkers had telomere lengths equivalent to people 16 years younger than their chronological age.

GaitIQ does not diagnose, treat, or predict any medical condition. Citations reflect findings by independent researchers in controlled studies.

Trust & Transparency

Built on peer-reviewed science. Building the team to take it further.

Grounded in published research

Every metric in GaitIQ traces back to peer-reviewed literature indexed on PubMed. We did not invent the science — we are making it accessible. As our understanding deepens, so will the product.

Research & Advisory — actively recruiting

We are building an advisory board of researchers in gerontology, neuromotor science, and cognitive aging. If you work in gait analysis, functional longevity, or digital biomarkers, we would love to talk.

How we handle your data

Your gait and cognitive data is uploaded to our servers for processing, research, and anonymised population-level analysis. You can request deletion of your personal data at any time, though anonymised aggregations that have already been generated may persist.

GaitIQ is not a medical device and does not diagnose any medical condition. It is a general wellness tool for tracking functional performance over time.

Your signature has been forming for years.

You just haven't been able to see it.

Now you can.

GaitIQ is free to download. Your Movement Signature begins forming from day one, reading gait data your phone has already been collecting. The monthly check-in takes three minutes.
