Amps Any of you lot had your bio markers tracked?

I haven’t Amps.

Hope that helps.

    What is this witchcraft you speak of Amps? Tell me more

    I did go for a health check yesterday where the nurse said I was in fantastic shape.

      Amps Biomarkers, as in physical health paramaters? Like heartrate, sleep cycles, VO2max, resting rate, steps, etc etc?

      Apple has that data in my case.

          Smallman1 was she buxom? I had a minor surgery this week and awoke from my general anaesthesia to an absolutely magnificent eastern European goddess nurse. Will never go NHS again if that’s the calibre of nurse at the Nuffield. Went all Leslie Phillips (RIP) for a moment and thanked my lucky stars it wasn’t Benson flicking through a travel mag instead.

              Lol!

                Morty-C-137 Bit more than that, its usually a wide spectrum blood test for molecules and genes. So an example would be that they test for Alanine Aminotransferase is an enzyme in your liver, too much of it and your liver is goosed. They can test for all sorts, and as far as I can tell, it can be pretty useful in catching stuff / warning of stuff early on.

                But, I confess, I haven’t yet done Hugo esque research into the subject, I’ve only just started reading about it, and thought I would see if anyone has any experience of it.

                The drawback being that a private company has some fairly deep info on your health. You can only begin to imagine the bombardment of marketing shite that follows:

                Low T? Hursty trab ads.

                Really low T? Saga holiday ads.

                Really, really low T? Funeral plan ads!

                    Millsy Finally got the vestigial tail removed. I always thought it was ‘what made you, you’!

                      Might go all in and get my DNA sequenced too.

                      What’s the end game here, Amps? Your head in a jar on a robot body?

                        Correct. AKA, the dream!

                              I think something like that already exists:

                                Amps Wait a minute.. what device are you wearing that constantly tracks your ALAT, ASAT and GGT? 🤣 Do yo have AIDS?

                                Or are you talking about just getting bloodwork done at one of these private businesses instead of via your GP?
