Compass is a year-round proactive health programme, built around your blood. 3 tests per year, personalised to you. Doctor-reviewed results and a 1:1 consultation, there if you want it. A sustainable action plan and always-on Health Assistant help you act on what you’ve learned. So you can stay on the front foot with your health.
See where you stand, and where you're going
Start with a deep baseline assessment across your blood, your health history and how you're living day-to-day. Get clear focus for the months ahead, and a consultation with a Thriva doctor there if you want it.
Holistic health guidance, without noise
Your Health Assistant knows your blood tests, your sleep, your movement and your goals. Your in-app dashboard shows your health in one place. When something's worth your attention, we surface it.
Realistic changes, for busy lives
You’ll get a plan for small, sustainable changes to diet, exercise, supplements, sleep, stress. 3 tests a year is enough to see what's working, and enough space to make changes that stick.
Your year
What your year looks like
A health 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.
Month 1
Your baseline test
33 markers across eight health areas. Your broadest test. Builds the full picture of where you stand today. Doctor report and 1:1 consultation included.
Months 2–4
Guidance and tracking
The handful of changes that actually matter for your body. Diet, exercise, sleep, and more. Your Health Assistant on hand for guidance along the way.
Month 5
Adaptive follow-up test
A second test, personalised to you. Retests what needs watching, adds any new areas worth exploring, and drops what doesn't need re-checking.
Months 6-8
Evidence it's working
Guidance informed by two sets of results. Your Health Assistant connects the dots between where you were, how you're living, and where you're heading.
Month 9
Second follow-up test
A third test, and a third round of insights. What's changed, what's working, what to focus on next.
Month 12
A year of health progress
Twelve months of knowing what your body actually needs. Ready for a new baseline, so you stay ahead of your health for the long term.
Focus made for you.
Compass gets to know your body and your goals. We get to the few changes that matter, not a full lifestyle reset. Your check-in tests adapt too: we test what matters to you, not a fixed panel everyone gets.
How Compass compares.
Other providers offer blood-based health programmes. Unfortunately, the reality often falls short of the promise. Everyone testing the same things, despite your health context being unique. Basic results displays. No real doctors in the loop. Aggressive product or medication upsells.
Compass by Thriva offers a personalised, evidence-based approach backed by a 10-year legacy, with no agenda other than your health.

What your first test covers
Start with a detailed picture of where your health stands today. Covering 33 markers — each one chosen because it tells us something useful about how your body is working right now.
Lipids
11 markers
Lipids are the fats and cholesterol your body uses to build cells and store energy. Their balance is a strong predictor of long-term heart and blood vessel health.
Cholesterol
HDL cholesterol
LDL cholesterol
Non-HDL cholesterol
Triglycerides
Triglyceride/HDL ratio
Total cholesterol/HDL ratio
Apolipoprotein A1
Apolipoprotein B
ApoB:ApoA ratio
Lipoprotein(a) (add-on test)
Blood sugar
1 marker
Your average blood sugar over recent months is a core measure of metabolic health. Persistently raised levels are an early signal of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes risk.
HbA1c
Kidney function
3 markers
Your kidneys filter waste, balance fluids, and help regulate your blood pressure around the clock. These markers can flag changes before symptoms show up.
Uric acid
Creatinine
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)
Sex hormones
4 markers
Sex hormones shape your energy, mood, libido, and muscle and bone strength. Tracking them gives context for changes you can feel but can't always explain.
Testosterone
Testosterone profile (free or unbound)
Free androgen index
SHBG
Micronutrients
4 markers
Micronutrients are the vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids your body needs daily but can't make itself. Even small shortfalls can drain your energy, immunity, and focus.
Active B12
Folate
Ferritin
Vitamin D
Liver function
7 markers
Your liver handles hundreds of jobs, from processing food and drink to clearing out toxins. These markers show how well it's coping with the workload.
Alanine transferase
Alkaline phosphatase
Gamma-GT
Bilirubin
Albumin
Globulin
Total protein
Thyroid function
2 markers
Your thyroid sets the pace your body runs at — affecting energy, weight, mood, and temperature. Small imbalances can leave you feeling flat, foggy, or out of sync.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
Free thyroxine (FT4)
Inflammation
1 marker
Inflammation is your immune system at work. Short bursts protect you, but low-level chronic inflammation is linked to long-term disease — and this is your clearest window into it.
hs-CRP
Packed full of features
Stay ahead of your health, year round
Track trends over time
Heart health, metabolism, nutrient status, hormones, inflammation, kidney & liver function, all tracked in the Thriva app.
Wearable integration
View your daily data — sleep, activity, cardiovascular fitness — alongside your blood results. Connect Apple Watch, Garmin, WHOOP, Oura, and more.
Always-on Health Assistant
24/7 health chat, powered by your blood test results, doctor reports, connected wearables, health goals, and preferences. It’s built by doctors and knows your health.
Proactive health insights
We don’t add to the health noise. When a change connects to your goals, we surface it — with context on why it matters and what to do about it.
Healthspan dashboard
Track your most important health metrics in one place — blood results, wearable data, physical tests, body composition, and more.
1:1 doctor consultations
After each blood test, access a 1:1 doctor consultation. Review results together, and make a plan — where to focus and what to prioritise based on your individual context.
What our customers say
Join 200,000+ people using Thriva
“There is no hard sell after you get your results. The app dashboard is easy and intuitive, and you can combine data from your wearable for a more complete picture. The doctor's report is easy to understand and provides clear actionable advice.”
★★★★★
Steven
“Very helpful guidance from the doctor who reviewed the results. I have a fear of needles and the device made drawing blood so much better. You can't even feel this device working. So pleased with the full service.”
★★★★★
Kristy
“Can't fault the service from Thriva. From sending off my blood sample to receiving a full report was less than 36 hours! The report was very comprehensive and easy to understand. Looking forward to using again, highly recommend.”
★★★★★
Mike
33 biomarkers across eight health areas — lipids, liver function, sex hormones, micronutrients, kidney function, thyroid, inflammation, and blood sugar. It's a broad baseline selected by our doctors to build a picture of where your health stands today.
Follow-up tests draw from a library of 45+ biomarkers. We decide what to retest based on your previous test results, health goals, wearable data (where available) and health profile. This process is AI-powered, with curation and review by our doctors.
Lifestyle changes take time to show up in your blood — whether that's a new supplement, better sleep, or dietary tweaks. Four months gives your body enough time to respond, so each test reflects what's actually changed.
You test at home in around ten minutes. Our Autodraw device collects a blood sample from your arm — no needles, no clinics. Accuracy is validated against venous blood draws, and samples are processed by UKAS-accredited laboratories. If a sample doesn't produce results, we send a replacement at no extra cost.
Every result is reviewed by a Thriva doctor and returned as a plain-English report. Your programme includes a 1:1 consultation to talk through anything in more detail. Between tests, your Health Assistant can answer questions based on your results and health profile.
Your report will flag anything that needs attention and explain what it means in context. During your consultation, you can talk through next steps — including whether to involve your GP. We're clear about what's within our scope and when to seek further care.
Compass is designed to complement your GP, not replace them. We cover biomarkers and health areas that standard NHS panels rarely check. If something needs clinical follow-up, we'll tell you, and your reports are designed to share with your GP.
By default, your current subscription continues as normal when you join Compass. You can cancel your current subscription anytime through Manage Subscriptions in your Thriva dashboard.
