Tolo's minute-by-minute schedule involves more than 100 daily tasks, 50 monitoring devices and an experimental "techno tampon," generating an estimated 14 million data points under the watch of a 12-person medical team.The project, backed by the couple's company Immortals, costs an estimated $2.6 million a year and aims to tackle major gaps in women's health research, which Bryan Johnson says has been overlooked for decades.Johnson says every result—good, bad or unexpected—will be made public, with the goal of giving women unprecedented insight into menstrual health and reproductive disorders.Tolo has also revealed she suffers from endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and adenomyosis, painful conditions that she hopes the ambitious research project will help better understand and eventually treat.
