HOW IT WORKS

In a few minutes, you'll see how your modifiable factors stack up as a simple 0–100 burden index. It's not a diagnosis or a prediction — it's a structured snapshot you can use to guide conversation and change.

Step 1

Answer a focused questionnaire

About 5–7 minutes. No exact date of birth. Just the patterns that influence modifiable risk over decades.

Step 2

See your modifiable burden pattern

We combine your answers into a 0–100 index and domain scores, so you can see where your biggest levers might be.

Step 3

Use it to guide real-world changes

Take your results to your clinician and focus on one or two changes at a time — in blood pressure, lipids, movement, mood, or other factors that fit your context.
