About the app

Quickly discover how you are ageing by using the LifeCurve™ App, which is underpinned by cutting edge research.

The LifeCurve™ App is just one part of the ADL Smartcare services that shape age-related decline.

The LifeCurve™ App's fitness and strength exercises were created in collaboration with Later Life Training™

A LifeCurve™ partner is an authorised organisation that wants to engage with App users to benefit their independence and support learning/research into ageing.

This can be as someone who wishes to provide services, products or activities to App users (e.g. suppliers, local authorities) or access data with permission from App users in order to benefit others e.g. researchers. A LifeCurve™ App user is in complete control of which LifeCurve™ Partner they connect with and fully informed of the LifeCurve™ Partner's specific use of data.

LifeCurve™ partners will positively impact an individual's LifeCurve™ by putting content on the App, as well as being able to monitor where they are on it (with express permission). In order to become an ADL Smartcare LifeCurve™ partner, you will need to explain:

  • Your purpose in becoming a LifeCurve™ partner
  • Your conditions as a LifeCurve™ partner
  • The benefits of you becoming a LifeCurve™ partner, to you and to App users

All data that a LifeCurve™ partner wishes to include on the App, will be curated by ADL Smartcare. Our existing Local Authority customers already curate the information and the organisations that they connect with, in their instances of ADL Services.
