Bupa private health insurance have announced plans to launch a free online health check service for those worried about mysterious symptoms and for those wanting tips on how to stay healthy.

The free service provides the user with a detailed analysis on diet, stress levels, fitness and overall well-being.

Dr Peter Mace of Bupa comments: "We know people are worried about money yet they still want to take care of their health. We also know that they are increasingly using the internet for health information and advice but do not know which sources to trust. Bupa’s free online healthcheck is backed by qualified doctors and based on sound clinical evidence. It is simple to use and provides health tips and advice."
