What do you think about finger prick blood tests?

Hello everyone,

We’ve been approached by Thriva, a company who offer personalised health reports and advice based on finger-prick blood tests which you can do at home.

As an example, Thriva’s baseline test would check your cholesterol, liver function, and iron profile, as well as your levels of vitamin D and B12. It would also give you access to a detailed breakdown of your results on your online dashboard — plus advice and recommendations from a GP.

There has been an increase in the number of preventative health care companies, like Thriva, in recent years, but this is uncharted territory for us - so we thought we’d ask you what you think. Would you be interested in hearing more about Thriva and other companies like it? What do you think about monitoring health this way?

You can take a look at Thriva’s website here.

Many thanks in advance for your input.

Thriva isn't a DNA testing company and they don't diagnose or prescribe.

Thriva hasn’t paid for this thread.

This woman has given me no faith in those type of tests.
