Research programme health and lifestyle
Within the Health and Lifestyle research programme, TNO has developed innovative methodologies to provide personalised lifestyle advice aimed at improving health.
One important method underpinning these recommendations is the PhenFlex test developed by TNO. This test is based on a standardised “milkshake” challenge that assesses an individual’s metabolic resilience by analysing changes in blood markers. However, health is not determined by biology alone. Psychological factors, behaviour and social context also play a crucial role, for example within TNO’s “360‑degree diagnosis”. This approach provides a more comprehensive picture of the individual, enabling the identification of the most urgent and appropriate lifestyle intervention.
This therefore involves a systems approach: from measuring health‑related factors to achieving sustainable behavioural change towards a healthy lifestyle. TNO works with a wide range of partners to translate this knowledge into various personalised, practical applications.
