HealthCaters

It's a very cost-effective and low-barrier way to get a quick 360-overview of your major vitals. I tested it inside a gym and it only took about 10 minutes with immediate results inside a well-designed mobile app. Since all DIY testing devices are integrated into a portable box this is perfect for mass-testing larger groups of people (in the office, at school etc.).

Since distribution is mostly via employers you will not easily find a location where you can test as a consumer (unless you live in Berlin or Amsterdam...). Also the focus here is to get a good, but basic health assessment for "average people". If you're a health nerd or biohacker you will likely do regular blood tests and medical checkups that go much deeper - in this case you won't get much additional information.

To get a quick 360 overview of my current health status without a blood draw, without going to a doctor, without waiting for lab results.

- Within 30 min one can do a swift and easy health checkup which assesses overall health
- There is an easy-to-follow walkthrough which guides through the testing and usage of the devices
- They have a super friendly and professional team
- All data gets stored in a nice app which also offers additional features and can be used to track health outcomes over time

With their Urban Health Checkup (B2C product) they check the following:

General Fitness: disease predisposition, temperature, hydration, BMI, musculoskeletal health, lifestyle assessment
Heart Health: blood pressure, cholesterol, EKG, heart rate
Lung Health: lung function, oxygen saturation
Metabolic Health: blood sugar, waist circumference, body fat, glucose in urine, ketones
Kidney & Liver health: bilirubin, urobilinogen, protein, pH
Bladder & Urinary Tract health: urine leucocytes, blood in urine, nitrite
Mental health: sleep quality, burnout risk, depression risk

- They started with a B2B offering (for companies to assesses the health of employees) but also stretched in the B2C field with the Urban Health Offering. Therefore the availability of the Urban Health Check-Ups is not too frequent.
- The collected health data is solid but overall also quite basic. Would love to see more in-depth analysis in the future (maybe as a Premium product).

I wanted to make a quick health-checkup without the need to go to my doctor (because of time and I wanted to take control of the checkup).
