From identified risk to supported action
Lifestyle Compass is a structured digital prevention workflow that helps healthcare teams translate cardiovascular and metabolic risk into personalised priorities, shared goals, appropriate support and measurable follow-through.
Clinically Led
Evidence-Informed
Designed around existing pathways
Built for evaluation
Risk identification is only the beginning
Across cardiovascular prevention pathways, services identify risk but often lack the time and structure to explore lifestyle consistently, connect advice to what matters to the individual and support meaningful follow-through.
Lifestyle Compass is designed to address this implementation gap within existing clinical and public-health pathways.

How Lifestyle Compass Works
Lifestyle Compass brings assessment, prioritisation, shared action and follow-through into one coherent workflow.
1. Assess the lifestyle context
2. Prioritise & Agree
3. Connect & Follow Through
The person completes a concise assessment of lifestyle strengths, risk-relevant behaviours, barriers, priorities and readiness for change.
A personalised summary and clinician view help focus the conversation on the most relevant opportunities and support agreement of one realistic shared goal.
The agreed action can be linked to appropriate local support and, where included in the pathway, structured follow-up and measurement of delivery.
One model, configured for different pathways
The core Lifestyle Compass approach can be configured around the clinical priorities, workflow, local support and evaluation requirements of a specific prevention pathway.
NHS Health Check
Helping convert identified cardiovascular risk into a resident-owned next step and measurable follow-through.
Lifestyle strengths, priorities and readiness
Conversation tailored to relevant risk
One achievable shared goal
Local support and follow-through
TIA & Minor Stroke
Supporting more structured and continuous lifestyle prevention after a high-risk vascular event.
Risk-relevant lifestyle assessment
Patient and clinician priorities
One realistic shared goal
Signposting and supported follow-up
Further applications would require separate pathway design, evaluation, information-governance decisions and commissioning.
Clear Clinical Boundaries
Lifestyle Compass supports lifestyle assessment, shared decision-making and preventive action.
It does not diagnose, assess acute symptoms, interpret clinical measurements, recommend medication changes or create a parallel clinical record. Clinical responsibility remains with the provider and the existing NHS pathway.
What Lifestyle Compass Adds
Lifestyle Compass is designed to strengthen the delivery of personalised prevention within services that already identify and manage cardiovascular risk.
Implementation
Provides a consistent structure for prevention conversations within time-pressured pathways.
Personalisation
Combines risk relevance with the individual’s priorities, context and readiness for change.
Continuity
Connects the consultation to a clear next step, appropriate support and follow-up where commissioned.
Assurance
Creates measurable information about assessment, goal-setting, signposting, engagement and pathway delivery.
Evidence-informed. Designed to be evaluated
Lifestyle Compass draws on established evidence and guidance on cardiovascular risk reduction, behaviour change, personalised care and supported goal-setting.
Each application is configured with the host service and evaluated for feasibility, acceptability, workflow fit and delivery. Claims about clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness will depend on subsequent evaluation.
Evidence-informed content
Pathway-specific content and priorities grounded in relevant evidence and clinical guidance.
Proportionate governance
Data flows, clinical responsibilities and information-governance requirements defined for each deployment.
Evaluation built in
Feasibility, acceptability, delivery and follow-through measured from the outset.
