POSITIONING
Monitor My Health is a finger-prick testing service operated by an NHS pathology laboratory. The proposition is honest and clear: low-cost tests, processed in an NHS laboratory, available directly to the consumer. The menu is focused, covering common single-area checks such as thyroid, vitamin D, cholesterol and HbA1c, with a low entry price point that is one of the keenest in the UK market. The NHS-laboratory backing is the credibility lever, and it is a strong one.
The value-and-NHS-lab model suits the customer who knows exactly which marker they want to check, who wants the lowest possible price for a result processed in an NHS laboratory, and who is comfortable reading the result against the reference ranges themselves. For a focused single-area check at a low price, it is hard to beat.
Helvy offers 6 fixed blood tests at one-off prices of £99 to £129. Choose a test by the markers you want to understand. Find my test helps you narrow the existing catalogue; it does not build a custom panel.

HELVY DIFFERENTIATORS
THE LONG VERSION
Monitor My Health is built around a simple, honest idea: a finger-prick test, processed in an NHS pathology laboratory, sold directly to the consumer at a low price. The menu is focused on common single-area checks. The customer picks the test they want, collects a finger-prick sample at home, posts it back, and receives a results report with the markers and their reference ranges. The low price and the NHS-laboratory backing are the strengths, and they are genuine strengths.
The value model rewards the customer who knows the marker they want to check. A one-off thyroid check, a vitamin D level, a cholesterol panel, an HbA1c: if you know which one you need and you want it cheaply from an NHS lab, Monitor My Health is a clean fit. The interpretation is largely the customer's job, or the customer's GP's job if they share the report.
Helvy offers 6 fixed blood tests at one-off prices of £99 to £129. Choose a test by the markers you want to understand. Find my test helps you narrow the existing catalogue; it does not build a custom panel.
Each test includes a finger-prick collection kit, prepaid return, laboratory analysis and results in your Helvy account. The report shows each marker, its range and an explanation of what it reflects. Explore the example report before you choose.
If you want the broad first look, that is Energy and Wellness at 17 markers, £129. If you are not sure which panel answers your question, Find my test.

If your starting question is "can I check my thyroid, or my vitamin D, or my HbA1c cheaply from an NHS lab", Monitor My Health answers it directly. The focused menu and the low entry price are tuned for exactly that purchasing pattern, and the NHS-laboratory credibility is a genuine reassurance.
