Understand Your Health. Discover Opportunities to Take Part in Research
Understanding your health is one of the most important steps you can take towards improving your wellbeing.
Many people are unaware of how everyday lifestyle factors such as body weight or alcohol consumption may affect their overall health.
To help you better understand your own health profile, we’ve created a set of simple, easy-to-use health calculators. These tools are designed to provide general guidance based on recognised UK health recommendations and may also be beneficial in helping to identify whether you could be suitable for participation in certain clinical trials.
BMI Calculator
Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement that uses your height and weight to estimate whether your weight falls within a healthy range.
By entering your details, you can:
Understand your BMI classification
Learn what your result may mean for your general health
Discover whether you could be eligible for weight management, metabolic health, diabetes, or other related clinical research studies
Calculate your BMI
BMI is used by clinicians to assess whether your weight is healthy in relation to your height. It is required for many of our weight management studies.

Alcohol Units Calculator
Many people are surprised to learn how quickly weekly alcohol intake can add up and how it can quickly affect your health.
Estimate how many alcohol units you consume each week
Understand whether your drinking falls within UK low-risk guidelines
Learn more about how alcohol consumption may relate to overall health and future research opportunities
In line with current UK guidance, regularly consuming more than 14 units of alcohol per week may increase long-term health risks.
How many units of alcohol do you drink?
UK Chief Medical Officer guidance is no more than 14 units a week, spread over three or more days. Tap the buttons to count what you typically drink in a week.

Why Does This Matter?
Clinical trials help researchers develop new medicines, vaccines, and healthcare approaches that may improve lives in the future. Many studies look for volunteers with specific health profiles, lifestyles, or medical backgrounds.
Understanding your own health status may help you:
- Make more informed lifestyle choices
- Start conversations with healthcare professionals
- Discover clinical trials that could be relevant to you
Whether you’re simply curious about your health or interested in supporting future medical research, these calculators are a great place to start.
