Living longer isn't the whole goal.

Canadians live to about 82 on average, but healthy life expectancy is only about 67 years. That nearly 15-year gap is what healthspan is about: not simply adding years to your life, but more healthy life to your years. MyHealthspan helps you understand what's happening in your body earlier, so you can take action today for more healthy years ahead.

Source: Statistics Canada, 2023 data. Life expectancy: 81.7 years; health-adjusted life expectancy: 66.9 years.

Built to earn your trust.

Clinical oversight is built into every step, from your blood draw to your results delivery.

Every test is reviewed by a licensed nurse practitioner
Every test is ordered by a licensed nurse practitioner after a structured intake, under a framework led by Dr. Zia Poonja, a practicing oncologist.
The draw is done by Dynacare
One of two national blood labs handles phlebotomy, logistics, and compliance, at-home service in every province or at a lab walk-in in Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba.
Your doctor stays in the loop
If something needs attention, it is flagged in your results and your doctor gets what they need. Nothing is diagnosed here.
Your data stays in Canada
MyHealthspan is the custodian of your health records, under PHIPA and PIPEDA. It isn't sold or shared with employers or insurers.
