Salary benchmarks
Our take
In the past few years, dozens of startups have offered tests that bypass the NHS by providing pay-as-you-go medical testing normally reserved for the unwell. Thriva is one that stands out by helping people stay well in the fist place. And the company is using a pain-free "autodraw" device to do this, removing a major barrier to regular health checks.
Thriva focuses on helping users proactively manage their healthspan (the length of time they stay healthy, not just alive). Its curated selection of personalised tests are designed to give users insights into key health indicators, such as cholesterol or vitamin levels, enabling them to make small changes before problems arise.
Thriva has brought to light how well some diseases can be prevented just by testing, advice from its doctors can even help with simpler answers, like if someone is taking a Vitamin C supplement but they don't need to. The company has picked up a large customer base and has made several partnerships to make comprehensive blood tests easily accessible.
