How it works

What your year looks like

A year-round programme that learns with you — built around your blood, shaped by your goals, and guided by experts. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Step 01

Your first test

A broad baseline covering 33 markers across eight health areas. Test at home in around ten minutes - no needles, no clinics, no appointments.

What your baseline covers

Step 02

Your results, explained

Every set of results is reviewed by a Thriva doctor and returned as a plain-English report. You'll see exactly what's on track, what's worth watching, and where to focus — with every marker shown against its reference range, benchmarked by age and sex.

Step 03

Talk it through with a doctor

After your first test, you sit down with a Thriva doctor to go deeper. Together you'll set goals, prioritise what matters most, and build a clear direction for the year ahead.

What happens between tests
This is where the guidance, tracking, and support that make Compass a year-round programme live.
Proactive insights

We don’t add to the health noise. When something in your data connects to your goals, we surface it — with context on why it matters and what to do about it.

Your 24/7 Health Assistant

Ask about nutrition, sleep, supplements, exercise — or anything your results flagged. The answers are grounded in your data and updated as your results evolve.

Your health, all in one place

Blood results, wearable data, and physical metrics — all in your Healthspan Dashboard. See how your markers are moving over time, so you know you’re ahead of changes.

Your year

A programme that gets smarter with every test

Every follow-up is shaped by what your previous results showed — retesting what needs attention, confirming what’s improving, and exploring new areas when the time is right.

Month 1

Your baseline

33 markers across eight health areas. Your broadest test. Builds the full picture of where you stand today. Doctor report and 1:1 consultation.

Months 2-4

Guidance and tracking

Personalised recommendations and based on your results. 24/7 Health Assistant for questions. Timely, proactive health insights. Your programme is working between tests.

Month 5

Your adapted follow-up

Your second test draws from a library of 45+ blood biomarkers. It retests what needs attention, adds new markers where your baseline suggested a closer look, and drops things that don't need retesting. Doctor report and updated guidance.

Month 6-8

Guidance continues

Updated recommendations now informed by two tests. Are the changes working? Your Health Assistant connects the dots between what your blood showed then and what it shows now.

Month 9

Your progress review

Your third test draws from the same 45+ biomarker library. Tracks what’s improving, picks up anything new, and evolves your programme again. By now, your results tell a clear story — what’s changed, what’s working, and where to focus next. Doctor report and year-in-review.

Month 12

Your first year, complete

Twelve months of understanding what your body needs. Your next year starts from a stronger position — sharper, more focused, built on everything you’ve learned.

Your testing evolves because your health does. And it gets more useful over time.
