What is Life Line Screening?
Life Line Screening is a US company that has offered preventive health screenings for over 30 years. It started with heart and stroke risk checks and now also offers blood-based risk profiles for common chronic conditions.
Instead of going to a hospital, you book a slot at a nearby venue, such as a church hall or community center. Trained technicians run the tests, and you get your results online afterwards.
The main appeal is access. Some of these ultrasound checks are not usually part of a routine check-up, and you do not need a referral to book them.
Which tests they offer
The best-known screenings are ultrasound and EKG checks linked to heart disease and stroke risk. The company says its AFib, aortic aneurysm (AAA) and carotid artery screenings are reviewed by a board-certified physician.

Our verdict
Life Line Screening is a convenient way to get preventive heart, stroke and chronic disease risk checks without a referral or a hospital visit. The tests are painless, the appointment is short and results come in plain language. It is best seen as an extra check to discuss with your doctor, not a replacement for regular care. If you want to screen every year, the OneLife membership may be worth a look.
