I just went for it a few days back at near NUH Hospital

Good for retirees and anybody with about 5-6 hours to spare ; get your blood tests/ urine test (must do fasting ) but they do provide in house breakfast

Also included are some scans ; bone density scan; ECG, mind boggling brain cognitive tests; Eye tests and a boring dietary intake review on an ipad; All this tests alone will cost about $400-500 even at polyclinic or primary level

I did not drive down knowing that it will take about 5-7 hours so just took the MRT , location is about a 5-7 minute walk from Kent Ridge MRT station     

You get $65 cash plus another $20/- for wearing a so called "accelerometer" for a week (got to mail it to them after a week and they will Paynow to you the monies)

Its kinda ugly and you cannot take it out (or thats what they told me ) not even during bathing   

So go register if you are keen  

So here's to good health

Hahaha, I did that few years ago, do they still do a simple treadmill test now?

The $50 was a taka voucher which was confiscated by wife.  [furious]

Suppose to have that walking treadmill, but they say I am not selected to do this test.  ONly when I receive my report, I use Grok to intepret my results. Seems like my resting ECG got minor issue. I think they scare I collapse during the walking treadmill.

 

As for compensation, it's paynow to my phone.

I did that treadmill, actually nothing strenuous, just slow walking on a slight incline then raise the pace to brisk walking over next few minutes, then measure BP heart rate. I walk from my house to MRT probably more strenuous than that. But dunno why my time a lot people stuck there, made me waited quite a long while, that why I remember it. :D

Good question, probably just a moderate/reduced stress level test for the heart. Afterall the Helios thing was a research study into the health of general population, data collection niah niah.
