Our view on healthcare

The burden of chronic disease

Preventable, long-term conditions are the largest cause of illness and death in the UK — this includes chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Currently, most services detect and treat these diseases, and they’re under huge pressure.

Because many of these diseases are strongly related to lifestyle factors, we can often prevent them from happening in the first place — helping to keep us healthier for longer. In fact, 80% of chronic diseases are preventable.

The development of diseases

We often don’t think about age-related chronic diseases, like heart or bone disease, until later in our lives. But evidence shows that many of these diseases can start developing decades before they become serious. For example, raised cholesterol in people as young as 20 years can indicate an increased risk of heart disease later in life — which is why national guidelines recommend measuring your cholesterol levels regularly from the age of 20.

If we can detect these issues early on, it means we have the power to intervene and reduce our risk.

Empowered healthcare

Health literacy is your your ability to get, read, and understand health information — allowing you to make informed decisions about your health. Currently, only 42% of working-age adults in England are health literate.

Our goal is to give you access to your own health data and information in an engaging and easy to digest way. So you can be empowered with the knowledge and tools that can keep you healthy for longer.

Our tests

We offer a range of tests that are important for your health and that you have the control to change. For example, we offer a vitamin D test because optimal levels help support everything from your sleep and energy levels to your future bone health. Plus, you can increase your levels through lifestyle changes. See all tests

Optimal ranges

Even if your blood test results are in the normal range, they might not fall in the range that’s optimal for your health and lifespan. This is why we introduced optimal ranges — evidence-based ranges that are associated with the lowest risk of disease and death. About optimal ranges
