Wattbike’s novel Healthspan Score transforms complex cardiorespiratory fitness data into an accessible metric that quantifies potential healthy years of life. This innovation distills decades of exercise physiology research into a single numerical value, calculated through a six-minute submaximal cycling test that requires no specialized knowledge to administer. The Healthspan Score correlates strongly with longevity research. As such, it serves as both a health risk indicator and motivational tool by showing users how fitness improvements may reduce mortality risks and extend quality of life.

Available initially on Wattbike’s premium touchscreen consoles, the Healthspan Score feature bridges the gap between clinical exercise science and mainstream fitness tracking. The company has also signalled plans to expand this feature to its consumer app.
