What a health check with us is actually like

The five steps

From the first message to a retest a year later. Most of it happens on your phone; the on-site part takes about 15 minutes.

1. 1
   12–3 weeks before

   Invitation, survey and pre-test readiness

   You receive a short series of clear messages explaining what happens and why. A 10-minute survey covers lifestyle, energy and work pressure, and simple readiness steps prepare you for test day.

   • Four short communications, so nothing comes as a surprise — what is measured, who sees what, and that taking part is voluntary.
   • A 10-minute health survey covering energy and resilience, metabolic health, cardiac health, inflammation, hydration and recovery, and medication use.
   • Pre-test readiness: home blood pressure readings following the ESC protocol, plus a first-morning urine sample for kidney screening where included.
   • Everything runs from your phone. No paperwork, no travel.
2. 2
   2~15 minutes on the day

   Test day on your own site

   You check in, confirm your survey answers, and a trained clinician takes a small finger-prick sample. Point-of-care devices produce results on site in about 15 minutes.

   • Check-in and identity verification take about a minute; you confirm the answers you gave earlier.
   • A trained healthcare professional takes a finger-prick sample and measures your vitals and body composition.
   • Point-of-care analysers run the panel on site — the same certified device class used in general practice.
   • You are usually back at your desk within 15 to 20 minutes.

   3Same day

   Clinician validation

   Your results are loaded into the Preventa platform and reviewed by a BIG-registered physician. Nothing is released before a clinician has checked it.

   • Biomarkers, vitals and survey answers are combined into one clinical picture on the Preventa platform.
   • A BIG-registered physician reviews every flagged value against Dutch NHG and European ESC reference standards.
   • Where a result needs follow-up, a GP referral letter is prepared the same day.
   • No algorithm-only output: a clinician signs off before anything reaches you.

   424h personal · 48h employer

   Your personal report

   Within 24 hours you get secure access to your own report: your scores, what each marker means, and what deserves your attention. Your employer only ever sees anonymised group insights.

   • Your report explains each result in plain language, with the reference range and what it means for you.
   • Ask Preventa, the AI assistant built into your report, answers your questions about your own results in your own words.
   • On PREVENTA+ an Oura ring is included, so sleep and movement come from measured data rather than a survey alone.
   • After 48 hours your employer receives anonymised, aggregated workforce insights — never individual results.

   5Retest at 6–12 months

   Recommendations and retest

   You get a short, prioritised set of actions — nutrition, movement, sleep, stress — and a clear next step where a GP visit makes sense. A retest after 6 to 12 months shows what changed.

   • A prioritised set of recommendations, weighted by what actually moves your numbers.
   • One focus goal you can hold onto, instead of a list nobody finishes.
   • A same-day GP referral pathway when a result is clinically relevant.
   • A retest after 6 to 12 months turns a snapshot into a trend you can act on.

What gets measured

We screen for the cardiometabolic conditions that develop silently — the ones that give no early warning signs.

How this compares to a traditional PMO

A periodic medical examination (PMO) and a Preventa check overlap less than people expect. This is a factual side-by-side of the measurements that matter most for silent cardiometabolic risk.

A PMO usually measures visible functions — vision, hearing, lung capacity, grip strength. Those are useful, and they are not silent: you notice when they change. We focus on the risks you cannot feel.
