Dietary and nutritional
Caloric restriction, time-restricted eating, and dietary patterns.
Intervention Studies
You deliver the intervention. We build the evidence around it.
BioAge Connect designs and runs studies with clinics, research groups, and industry partners. We handle the protocol, measurement, data, and analysis; clinical delivery and clinical decisions remain with your team.
01 — Scope
The intervention categories we work across
Every category below is represented in the 16 public studies already harmonised in the Methylation Atlas, giving new findings an existing comparison base.
Behavioural and lifestyle
Exercise programmes, sleep, and stress reduction.
Supplement
Compounds with a plausible mechanism and uncertain effect.
Drug and therapeutic
Including repurposed compounds used off-label.
Clinical programmes
Multi-component protocols delivered in practice.
02 — The lifecycle
Six steps, one reproducible measurement chain.
- 01
Design
Research question, endpoints, participant criteria, sample size, measurement schedule, and documentation.
- 02
Recruit
Participant criteria, enrolment materials, and screening support for recruitment at your site.
- 03
Baseline
Standardised collection, logistics, quality control, and measurement across eight dimensions.
- 04
Intervene
Your clinical protocol, delivered by your team. BioAge Connect does not make clinical decisions.
- 05
Follow up
Scheduled repeat measurements, sample tracking, and consistent processing across timepoints.
- 06
Analyse
Change from baseline, harmonised comparison, and reproducible publication-ready outputs.
03 — Division of labour
Know what your site is committing to.
The split is agreed before work begins, so clinical responsibility and research operations remain clear.

What you need: participants, a clinical protocol, and the capacity to collect samples.
What you do not need: a lab, a bioinformatician, a data platform, or prior research experience.
04 — Engagement
Three ways to start.
Most partners begin observationally, establish a baseline, and increase study depth only when the question warrants it.
Observational
Measure biological age across an existing participant population at defined intervals. No protocol change or intervention arm.
Single-arm intervention
Measure participants before and after an intervention already delivered at the site. Suitable for most clinical practices.
Controlled study
Use comparison or randomised arms under a formal protocol when stronger evidence, publication, or regulatory conversations are the goal.
05 — Outputs
What comes back at the end.
Baseline and follow-up biological age across eight dimensions
Change-from-baseline analysis against 16 harmonised public studies
A reproducible processing record with provenance per value
A de-identified dataset for partner analysis
Publication-ready figures and methods text
Co-authorship on resulting publications
Agreed before any sample moves
Data ownership and IP attribution are defined at the outset. Processing aligns with PDPA and IRB requirements. Explicit do-not-use policies cover insurance underwriting and employment decisions. Participants consent to defined uses, and results are not returned as clinical or diagnostic findings.
Getting started
What a first conversation covers
Your participant population, the intervention you want to test, approximate enrolment, and the output you need. We can then assess feasibility and scope. There is no cost and no obligation to proceed.
