Understand and decide
A check-up planned for you, not for your age
Answer a few questions in your AI chat. Hea builds a plan of the checks and blood tests that published guidance suggests for someone with your answers, and names the guidance behind each one.
Free in the beta · Works inside the AI you already use · Last reviewed 5 November 2026
Generic check-ups test everyone the same. Your family history, medicines and life decide what's worth checking. A longer list of tests isn't the same as the right tests for you.
The NHS Health Check is offered every 5 years to adults aged 40 to 74 who don't already have conditions such as heart disease, diabetes or high blood pressure. NHS website: NHS Health Check, Page last reviewed 14 August 2023

Questions people ask
What blood tests should I get?
It depends on your age, sex, family history, medicines and health, so there's no single list for everyone. The NHS Health Check, for example, includes a cholesterol test and sometimes a blood sugar test. Hea asks about these things and lists the tests guidance suggests for someone with your answers, with the reason for each.
Is the NHS Health Check enough?
It covers one important part: your chance of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and kidney disease. It's for adults aged 40 to 74 without conditions like heart disease, diabetes or high blood pressure, and it's offered every 5 years. NHS cancer screening is separate, with its own ages and invitations. Hea's plan shows both where they apply to you.
How is this different from a private blood test package?
Hea doesn't sell tests. It starts from your answers, lists only the checks that guidance suggests for you with the reason and the guideline for each, and names tests that guidance doesn't advise without symptoms. Ordering tests at home through Hea is coming soon and isn't available yet.
Which NHS screening tests will I be offered?
That depends on your age and sex. In England the NHS offers cervical screening from 25 to 64, breast screening from 50 to 70, a bowel screening home test kit every 2 years from 50 to 74, and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening for men at 65. Some people aged 55 to 74 who have ever smoked are offered lung screening, in some parts of England.
