01
Physical activity, consistently
Adults should aim for 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, plus muscle-strengthening on two or more days. Even partial adherence is associated with substantial mortality benefit.
Prevention
Healthy habits for the long run.
A small number of everyday habits — moving, eating well, sleeping enough, managing stress, not smoking, and drinking less — matter a lot over the years. Ingrid helps you keep them going.

I am 42 and I feel fine. I want to stay active and healthy for the long run.
Ingrid
Start with the basics that matter over decades: regular movement, sleep, and what you eat. The WHO recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week — let us build toward that at your pace.
First action
Two brisk walks this week
Ingrid adds two 20-minute walks to your plan as a first step toward the WHO activity recommendation.
Illustrative example only. Ingrid helps you build long-term habits; it does not assess your health or replace check-ups with your doctor.
Where the gains come from
What actually adds healthy years
Decades of evidence point to a small set of factors with outsized impact on healthy life expectancy.
02
Screening, on time
Age-appropriate screening — blood pressure, lipids, glucose, colorectal cancer, mammography — catches conditions when they are still cheap to treat. Most missed screening is a calendar problem, not a clinical one.
03
Cardiovascular and metabolic risk
Blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, fasting glucose, and waist circumference together capture most modifiable cardiometabolic risk. Small sustained changes here add years of healthy life.
04
Sleep and stress over decades
Chronically short or poor sleep and unmanaged stress are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease and metabolic decline. Their effects compound across years.
05
Smoking, alcohol, and weight
Quitting smoking, moderate alcohol intake, and maintaining a healthy weight remain among the most evidence-supported levers for healthy life expectancy.
“Make healthy behaviors your default.”
Healthy eating, exercise and sleep are foundational, like having air to breathe. There’s proven data that doing the basics can prolong your life, so treat them like nonnegotiables.

How it works
A plan that lasts longer than your motivation
Three steps to turn prevention into something you can actually maintain.
- Step 01
Start from your goals
Ingrid starts with your goals, your routine, and the habits you already have.
- Share what matters to you and what you already do
- Keep family history and records in one place, as recorded
- Avoid generic checklists
- Step 02
Focus on a few habits
The plan focuses on two or three habits you can keep up — movement, food, sleep, stress, smoking, or alcohol.
- Based on WHO and public health guidance
- Start with the habits that fit your life
- Keep the plan small enough to sustain
- Step 03
Stay on it for years, not weeks
Ingrid keeps your habits going over the long term with reminders, nudges, and regular plan reviews.
- Keep the check-ups you book on your calendar
- Adjust your plan as life changes
- Support healthy habits quietly over years, not a burst of motivation

When to see a doctor
When to see a doctor
Any positive screening result that requires follow-up, a strong family history of early cardiovascular disease or cancer, or new symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness, or unexplained bleeding warrants clinical care.
FAQ
Common questions
Does Ingrid bring my health information together in one place?
Most apps look at one signal: steps, sleep, or weight. Ingrid keeps wearable data, lab reports, documents, family history, and your self-reported habits together — and builds your plan from your goals, preferences, and everyday routine.
Will Ingrid adapt as my data and habits change?
The plan is not written once. At the end of each plan cycle, Ingrid looks at which habits stuck and which did not, and suggests changes you can accept or decline. The plan a month from now will look different from today’s — because it should.
Does Ingrid replace my doctor?
Ingrid is not a replacement for a doctor, and does not pretend to be. It does not diagnose, interpret results, or recommend tests or treatments. For medical questions, Ingrid helps you prepare for your appointment — and if you choose, you can share your data with your own doctor or coach.
Is this for older adults?
No. Healthy habits are worth building at any age — starting in your 30s or 40s simply gives them more time.
Will Ingrid recommend supplements?
No. Ingrid gives no advice on supplements or medicines — that is a question for your doctor or pharmacist. The plan focuses on everyday habits.
What if my family history is unknown?
Ingrid still works. Your plan is built from your goals and everyday habits, and you can add family history whenever you like.
Will this clash with my GP?
No. Ingrid supports your care, it does not replace it. It helps you bring your recorded information and your questions to your appointments.
A coach for your everyday habits. Your own doctor for medical questions.
