What has been agreed?
Nightingale Health and Vitahealth have agreed that Vitahealth offers the Nightingale Remote Health Check in the Netherlands. Vitahealth provides the test, the explanation and the guidance. Nightingale Health analyses the blood samples in its own laboratory in Finland.
For Nightingale Health this is the first step into the Dutch market. The collaboration was presented in October 2026 at a conference at Lifestyle Centre Haaglanden.
What does this mean for you?
You do a finger prick at home and send in a few drops of blood. That single sample gives a broad picture of your health:
- Your Metabolic Age and your Metabolic Resilience Score. Two scores that summarise how your body is doing.
- Your blood values. Lipids, fatty acids, amino acids, sugar metabolism and inflammation.
- Your risk of four common diseases, if you want to know: the risk over the next ten years of a heart attack, an ischaemic stroke, type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease.
You decide which parts you want to see. The Vitahealth Medical Expert Team reviews every result. A doctor then discusses the outcome with you and turns it into a lifestyle plan that fits your life. Want to know whether your approach works? Repeat the test and see what has changed.
Who is the test for?
- For you as an individual. You want to know where you stand, even without symptoms.
- For employers and occupational health services. An objective measurement as the basis for a vitality programme. The result belongs to the employee.
- For healthcare and lifestyle professionals. A validated baseline and follow-up measurement in prevention.

Why this collaboration?
Guus Vaassen, CEO of Vitahealth, sees the collaboration as a step towards taking broad biomarker tests out of the research laboratory and the expensive clinic. The aim is that everyone can know how their health is doing before symptoms appear, with a doctor who helps turn the result into a plan you can keep up.
Teemu Suna, CEO and founder of Nightingale Health, points out that disease risk builds up for years before you notice anything. Those who know earlier can act earlier. He calls the Netherlands a new market for Nightingale Health and Vitahealth a strong partner to start with.
The science behind it
The metabolic scores come from Nightingale Health. Researchers at Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) have applied the same blood measurement for more than ten years in tens of thousands of participants in Dutch population studies. The Vitahealth scientific team is chaired by Prof. Eline Slagboom of the LUMC. Read more on the page Science.
