Tempo Lifestyle Screening

The first step of the Tempo wellness programme is your Tempo Lifestyle Screening. For your convenience the lifestyle screening is available for completion via the Tempo portal on the Bestmed App or website.

The lifestyle screening intended for beneficiaries 16 years and older and includes: the Bestmed Tempo lifestyle questionnaire; a blood pressure check, cholesterol check, glucose check, as well as a height and weight checks.

Every member of your family gets one (1) lifestyle screening per year and needs to do a screening once a year. Benefits are allocated for each benefit year (1 January to 31 December), and do not carry over to the following year.

How the Tempo Lifestyle Screening works

The steps of the screening process are:

  1. You answer a lifestyle questionnaire
    We’ll ask you some questions to get a baseline understanding of your current physical wellbeing and nutrition habits and routines.

  2. You go for your biometric screening

    A nurse will measure your blood pressure, height, weight, glucose and cholesterol.

  3. You get your results

    The completed screening will give you an overview of your health status and guide you in terms of which areas require focus to improve your health.

    Should you choose to make use of the Tempo physical wellbeing and/or nutrition benefits, the results will also be shared with our Tempo partner biokineticists and dietitians automatically.

What is a Biokineticist?

(Pronounced: bio / ki /ne / ti / cist)
A biokineticist is a healthcare professional who specialises in exercise therapy. They focus on improving a person's physical condition and quality of life through movement. 
The term "biokinetics" comes from the Greek words "bios," meaning life, and "kinesis," meaning movement. So, it literally refers to the science of movement and physical activity as it relates to health.
