How Novo Calculates Your Health Score & Biological Age

Last Updated: March 16, 2026

Novo provides users with a Health Score and an Estimated Biological Age to help visualize overall wellness and track long-term progress.

These metrics are designed to make complex health data easier to understand.

What Is the Novo Health Score?


The Novo Health Score is a dynamic wellness index that evaluates multiple aspects of health and lifestyle.

The score typically ranges from 0–100, where:

  • 90–100 → Excellent health indicators

  • 75–89 → Strong health profile

  • 60–74 → Moderate health profile

  • Below 60 → Opportunities for improvement

The score updates as your health data changes.

Data Used to Calculate Your Health Score


Novo calculates your score using a combination of metrics across several categories.

Activity Metrics

  • steps

  • exercise frequency

  • workout intensity

  • calorie burn

Body Composition

  • body weight

  • body fat (if available)

  • weight trends

Sleep

  • sleep duration

  • sleep consistency

  • recovery indicators

Nutrition

  • calorie balance

  • macro nutrient ratios

  • dietary consistency

Cardiovascular Indicators

If available from wearables:

  • resting heart rate

  • heart rate variability

  • activity heart rate

Lifestyle Signals

Each category contributes to the overall score.

How the Health Score Is Calculated


Novo uses a weighted scoring system based on health research and wellness benchmarks.

Example weighting model:

Category Approx Weight
Activity 25%
Nutrition 20%
Sleep 20%
Body Metrics 20%
Recovery Signals 15%

Scores are recalculated regularly based on updated data.

What Is Biological Age?


Biological age estimates how your body is functioning compared to typical health markers for your chronological age.

For example:

  • Chronological age: 49

  • Biological age: 42

This indicates your health markers resemble someone younger.

Novo estimates biological age using patterns in:

  • metabolic signals

  • sleep quality

  • health consistency

The estimate adjusts as your data changes.
