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
Add years to your life, and life to your years.
The largest gains in healthy life expectancy come from a small number of modifiable factors. Ingrid builds a long-horizon plan around the ones that matter for you.

Ingrid
Family history matters most when combined with modifiable factors. The kind of picture Ingrid often sees here is a blood pressure that has not been checked in a while, activity below the WHO target of 150 minutes per week, and a lipid panel that is three years old.
First action
Book a blood pressure and lipid check
Ingrid starts with the prevention markers most likely to change what you should do over the next few years.
Illustrative example only. Ingrid supports prevention planning and earlier discussions with clinicians; it does not replace screening or follow-up care.
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
Build a risk profile
Ingrid starts by combining family history, current biomarkers, and habits into a prevention picture that is actually personal.
- Identify the risks most relevant to your age and history
- Use current markers to ground the plan in reality
- Avoid generic prevention checklists
- Step 02
Prioritise what moves the needle
The plan focuses on the two or three prevention levers with the biggest likely payoff for your healthspan.
- Prioritize screening, movement, and biomarkers by risk
- Focus on the highest-yield changes first
- Keep the plan small enough to sustain
- Step 03
Stay on it for years, not weeks
Ingrid keeps prevention in motion over the long term with reminders, nudges, and periodic reviews.
- Keep screenings and follow-ups from slipping
- Review risk markers again as life changes
- Support prevention 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 look at my health as a whole, or one signal at a time?
Most apps look at one signal: steps, sleep, or weight. Most clinicians see only what you bring to the appointment. Ingrid combines wearable data, labs, family history, medications, and self-reported habits in one place — and uses all of it when suggesting what to do next.
Will Ingrid adapt as my data and habits change?
The plan is not written once. Ingrid reviews your progress weekly, identifies what is and is not working, and adjusts the plan accordingly. The recommendations a month from now will look different from the ones today — because they should.
When does a clinician get involved?
Ingrid is not a replacement for a clinician, and does not pretend to be. For anything that needs a diagnosis or a prescription, Ingrid summarises the context and routes you to a verified human expert.
Is this for older adults?
No. The earlier prevention starts, the more impact it has — starting in your 30s or 40s gives the plan the most time to pay off.
Will Ingrid recommend supplements?
Only when there is solid evidence for your context. Most of the plan is screenings, habits, and lifestyle — not supplements.
What if my family history is unknown?
Ingrid still works. It uses your own data and asks for what it needs as it goes.
Will this clash with my GP?
No. Ingrid is designed to support clinical care, not replace it. The yearly summary is designed for your GP’s workflow.
