Questions, answered
Testing, results, privacy and membership, in plain words.
Getting started
What is Pheno?
Pheno is a Swedish health platform built around regular blood testing. You choose a program, give a sample at a partner lab near you, and see your results in the app: plain explanations, trends over time and a personal plan for what to do next.
Who is Pheno for?
Anyone who wants to understand and improve their health with real data instead of guesswork, whether that means performance, energy and stress, or simply a proper baseline. You must be 18 or older.
Where is Pheno available?
In Sweden. Blood draws go through the SYNLAB network: their own labs in the Stockholm area, Uppsala and the Gothenburg area, plus sampling partners around the country. The app shows the locations nearest you.
How do I get started?
Pheno is invite-only right now and opens to more members in rounds. Join the waitlist and we will email you when it is your turn. With your invitation, create your account with Mobilt BankID. It takes under a minute, with no passwords or forms. Choose a program, order in a few taps and visit a partner lab when it suits you. Results appear in the app a few days after your draw.
Do I need a referral?
No. Your program includes the lab requisition. Bring photo ID to the lab. No referral and no appointment first.
Why test regularly instead of once?
One test is a snapshot. Testing through the year shows direction: what is improving, what is drifting, and whether the changes you make actually work.
Does Pheno replace my own healthcare?
No. Pheno gives you information and education about your own biology. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent disease, and it never replaces professional medical advice. If you feel unwell, call 1177. In an emergency, call 112.
Is Pheno a registered healthcare provider?
Yes. Pheno AB is registered as a healthcare provider (vårdgivare) with IVO, the Swedish Health and Social Care Inspectorate.
Tests & blood draws
What’s the difference between programs?
The number of biomarkers, and whether follow-ups are included. Essential tests 46 biomarkers for 150 kr/mo (1 800 kr over the 12-month membership), Longevity 75 for 350 kr/mo and Max 84 for 650 kr/mo. Longevity and Max include a follow-up on anything out of range; in Essential, a follow-up is an add-on. Every program includes two checkups a year, AI and a plan. Every count is what we order from the lab, including the values the lab calculates for you, such as eGFR. Some biomarkers apply only depending on your sex and age.
Where do I give my blood sample?
At a SYNLAB lab near you. The app lists locations with opening hours and picks out the nearest one.
Do I need to book an appointment?
No. Walk in during opening hours and bring photo ID.
How long does a blood draw take?
About 10 minutes. Your requisition is already in the lab’s system when you arrive.
How should I prepare?
Fast for 10 to 12 hours. Water is fine, but no food, coffee or supplements. Go in the morning if you can, ideally between 7 and 11, and skip hard training the day before. The app reminds you before every test.
Who analyses my blood?
SYNLAB, whose Swedish laboratories are accredited by SWEDAC (accreditation no. 10367) under ISO 15189, the international standard for medical laboratories. The accreditation covers the laboratory analysis of your samples.
What if I miss my test window?
Test windows stay open for about two months. If you still miss one, the app guides you, and you can add an extra test later.
Can I test more than my program includes?
Yes: 14 add-on packages (such as heart, hormones, thyroid or gut health), an extra run of your full panel, or individual markers with bundle discounts and a small lab fee per order. After a test, the app can also build a follow-up panel from your out-of-range markers, which is how you add a follow-up in Essential. The gut add-on uses a stool sample you collect at home.
Can I upgrade just one test?
Yes. Before an upcoming draw you can expand that single test to a bigger panel as a one-time purchase. Your membership stays the same.
Do the panels ever change?
Yes, as the science evolves. You always get the latest version of your program’s panel, and every marker is shown with the lab’s reference interval and an explanation grounded in published research.
Results
How long until I get my results?
Usually within a few days of your draw. You get a notification when everything is ready in the app.
What do my results look like?
Your Pheno Score, every marker with your value on its range, trends across your tests, plain-language explanations and a personal action plan. Every program also shows your biological age.
Does anyone check my results?
Every result is checked automatically against safe limits, and anything critical is escalated so we can follow up with you. The app explains each marker in plain words.
Which range is shown next to my values?
The reference interval from the accredited lab that analysed your sample. Each value is shown against that interval: within it or outside it. Intervals can differ a little between labs, because each lab sets its own for its methods.
What if something looks seriously wrong?
Every result is checked against safe limits, and anything critical is escalated so we can follow up with you. Pheno is not an emergency service and does not diagnose disease. If you feel unwell, call 1177. In an emergency, call 112.
Can I take my raw values to my healthcare provider?
Yes. Every marker shows its measured value and unit, and you can bring your results to any healthcare provider.
What is biological age?
An estimate of how old your body is functioning, calculated from blood markers rather than birthdays. Because it comes from blood, you can watch it change. Included in Longevity and Max.
AI & your plan
What can the AI do?
It explains your results in context, using your values, your trends and your wearable data, and helps you see what to focus on. It answers in Swedish or English. Every answer is marked as informational insight, not medical advice, and it points you to real care (1177, 112) when a question is beyond its scope.
Is the AI safe to rely on?
It is built conservatively. A safety layer checks answers before you see them, the system attaches a disclaimer to every health answer, and all AI processing runs in the EU. Decisions about your health stay with you and your healthcare provider.
What else is in the app?
Your results and trends, a personal action plan, plain-language education about every marker and reminders around your test windows.
Which wearables can I connect?
Ōura, Whoop, Garmin, Fitbit and Withings. Connect once and it syncs by itself. Wearable data sits next to your blood results with test dates overlaid. You can disconnect at any time from your profile. Wearables work with every program.
Do I need a wearable?
No. Your results, score, plan and AI work fully without one. If you connect one, we read daily summaries (sleep, HRV, resting pulse, steps, active minutes and energy), never your location, routes or workout maps.
Does Pheno work with Apple Watch?
Not yet. Apple keeps Health data on your iPhone, which needs a native iOS app. That is on our roadmap.
Privacy & data
Where is my data stored?
In the EU. Your health data is stored in Stockholm, and all processing, including AI, runs in EU regions. We don’t move your data outside the EU.
Who owns my health data?
You do. See everything in the app, share it with your healthcare provider if you choose, and close your account at any time. We use your data to deliver the service, never to sell it.
How do you protect my data?
You log in with Mobilt BankID, so there are no passwords. Your personal identity number is never stored in readable form. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access inside Pheno is strictly limited and logged.
Does my employer see my results?
Never. Employers only see anonymised group statistics, and only for groups of at least 10 employees. You can opt out of those statistics without losing any access.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. Close your account in the app or via support@pheno.health. For your GDPR rights (access, correction, deletion, portability), contact team@pheno.health.
Do you use cookies and analytics?
First-party product analytics only: no third-party ad trackers, no session recording, no selling of data. Analytics never touch your clinical data, and you can pause them in your profile settings.
Membership & payment
How does membership work?
Membership is 12 months, paid monthly. It includes your program’s two checkups and, in Longevity and Max, follow-up on anything out of range, plus full access to the app, and your history always stays in your account. After 12 months it renews for another 12 months. We remind you before it renews, and you can cancel before then.
What does it cost?
Essential 150 kr/mo (1 800 kr over the 12-month membership), Longevity 350 kr/mo, Max 650 kr/mo. See Programs for the full comparison.
How do I pay?
Through secure Stripe checkout: card, or Klarna and mobile wallets where available.
Can I change program later?
Yes, in the app. The price difference is settled on your next invoice.
Can I pause my membership?
Yes, in the app. Your data and account stay, and you resume when you are ready.
Can I get a refund?
Test credits can be used within 12 months of purchase. Once a sample has been collected, that test can’t be refunded, except where the law requires it or after a verified lab error. If something goes wrong on our side, we make it right.
Can my employer pay for Pheno?
Yes. Pheno for companies includes team onboarding, on-site blood draws and anonymised group insights. Your employer never sees your individual results. Point your HR team to For business or sales@pheno.health.
Is there a referral program?
Yes. Your friend gets 15% off their subscription.
