Frequently Asked Questions
What is QPER Health?
QPER Health is a personalized health platform focused on cardiometabolic health. It brings together lifestyle factors you can influence, including Intentional Movement (or exercise), Mindful Nutrition, steps, and sleep, with measurable health responses such as fasting blood sugar, blood pressure, weight or BMI, and resting heart rate.
At its foundation is the patented QPER Health Map that powers its AI companion, QPER Twin.
How does a QPER Health journey work?
You begin with a one-week Baseline journey to understand where your health is. You then choose lifestyle changes and goals for the next 25 weeks, your Transformation journey. QPER creates your personalized Health Maps and shows how your actual journey unfolds over time. At the end of the 26 weeks, your current health position can become the Baseline for your next journey.
What phones are supported?
QPER Health is currently available on iPhone.
What are QPER's INPUTS and OUTPUTS?
QPER uses INPUTS and OUTPUTS to make the relationship between lifestyle and health easier to understand. INPUTS are lifestyle factors going into your body, not information you are "inputting" into the app. OUTPUTS are measurable ways your body responds.
QPER connects these measures so you can more intuitively understand what may be influencing the health measures that matter to you.
What are the four INPUTS to my body?
Intentional Movement is dedicated physical activity performed at moderate intensity or higher.
Mindful Nutrition is a simple daily reflection on how and what you ate, using a 1–7 scale rather than calorie counting or detailed food logging.
Steps reflect your everyday movement throughout the day.
Sleep reflects the amount of sleep you get.
These are lifestyle factors you can influence. QPER brings them together with your body's OUTPUTS so you can understand your health in a more connected way.
How does Intentional Movement work?
Intentional Movement is dedicated physical activity performed at moderate intensity or higher. It does not have to mean going to the gym, running, or following a formal workout.
It can be dancing, hiking, mowing the lawn, brisk walking, raking leaves, playing a sport, or any other activity you choose to do intentionally that reaches the appropriate intensity for you.
QPER provides you with a personalized moderate-intensity heart-rate range, shown in beats per minute, to help you understand what moderate intensity may look like for you.
A useful general rule of thumb is that during moderate-intensity activity, your breathing and heart rate become faster, but you can still have a conversation.
QPER also recommends a personalized weekly Intentional Movement goal based on your Baseline. During goal setting, you can adjust that recommendation within a reasonable range to choose a goal that fits you and your journey.
Intentional Movement is entered manually in QPER.
Talk with your physician or other qualified healthcare professional about whether moderate-intensity physical activity and the QPER heart-rate range are appropriate for you.
How does Mindful Nutrition work, and what does my score mean?
Towards the end of the day, reflect on how and what you ate, then choose the number that best describes your day.
This is not calorie counting. Mindful Nutrition is a simple daily reflection designed to help you think about whether your food choices and portion sizes supported your health goals.
1: Too aggressive and restrictive; likely unhealthy if repeated.
2: Strong reduction; may support approximately 8% weight/BMI reduction over 6 months if done safely with nutritious foods.
3: Moderate reduction; may support approximately 4% weight/BMI reduction over 6 months if done safely with nutritious foods.
4: Just right; nutritious, satisfying, and supports weight/BMI maintenance.
5: Slightly more than needed; may gradually increase weight/BMI if repeated.
6: More than needed; may increase weight/BMI if repeated often.
7: Much more than needed; may significantly increase weight/BMI over time.
A score of 4 means your nutrition was balanced for the day and is expected to help maintain your weight/BMI.
Scores below 4 may support weight/BMI reduction if done safely with nutritious foods. A score of 1 is too aggressive and not recommended.
Scores above 4 may increase weight/BMI if repeated over time.
Mindful Nutrition is not a prescribed diet. It is a simple way to reflect on your own eating patterns over time.
What are my body's four OUTPUTS?
Fasting Blood Sugar is your blood glucose level after fasting.
Blood Pressure reflects the pressure of blood in your arteries and is recorded as systolic and diastolic values.
Weight / BMI helps you follow changes in body weight and body mass index over time.
Resting Heart Rate is your heart rate when your body is at rest.
These OUTPUTS help show how your body is responding. QPER looks at them together with your INPUTS rather than treating each measure as an isolated number.
How are my INPUTS and OUTPUTS entered or measured?
Intentional Movement: manual entry.
Mindful Nutrition: manual entry.
Steps: Apple Watch, Fitbit, or manual entry.

How often should I enter my information?
For Intentional Movement (or exercise), enter the number of minutes each time you complete a dedicated moderate-intensity or higher activity lasting more than 20 minutes.
During the one-week Baseline journey, enter each of the other measures on at least four days. During the 25-week Transformation journey, we encourage you to enter them at least once each week.
You do not have to enter every measure every day.

How do cancellation and refunds work?
You may cancel your subscription at any time. If you cancel within 21 days of your subscription start date, you are eligible for a full refund under our refund policy.
If you cancel after 21 days, your membership remains active through the end of the period you have already paid for and will not renew. When that period ends, you will no longer have access to the QPER Health app or its features. The three home health devices are yours to keep and can continue to be used independently of the app.
What is the QPER Health Map?
Using the information you share about yourself and your health, your Baseline results, and the lifestyle changes you choose, QPER creates personalized Health Maps showing a prospective path forward and how your actual journey unfolds over time.
Your QPER Health Maps are not guaranteed outcomes. Your actual paths may differ because health is influenced by many factors.
What is QPER Health Age?
Health is interconnected. QPER Health Age brings changes across your lifestyle and health measures together into one easy-to-follow view of your progress.
It can show that your health is moving in a healthier direction even when one measure, such as weight or BMI, does not change much. For example, your weight may stay about the same while your blood pressure, blood sugar, resting heart rate, or lifestyle patterns improve.
What is QPER Twin?
QPER Twin is QPER Health's AI-powered personalized health companion on your phone, available throughout your QPER journey, starting with onboarding. Through its chat-like interface, you can ask general questions about non-clinical health and wellness, as well as questions about your own progress and QPER Health journey.
Unlike a generic health chatbot, QPER Twin starts with the context of you and your health journey. Its personalization is built on the information you share about yourself and your health, along with your QPER Health information and the patented Health Map foundation.
On the Health Map, the blue line represents your mapped path, the green line shows your actual health path, and the orange line represents QPER Twin. The orange line follows the blue line perfectly by design. It is a visual representation of QPER Twin accompanying you.
Does QPER Health promote a specific diet or lifestyle method?
No. QPER Health does not promote a particular diet, exercise plan, method, or fad. You choose the changes that fit your life, preferences, and goals.
You can ask QPER Twin questions about different approaches to help you understand them. Its responses are informational and should not be taken as a prescription or medical advice. QPER Health is designed to help you understand your options and make your own choices.
Is QPER Health a replacement for medical care?
No. QPER Health and QPER Twin are non-clinical wellness tools. They do not diagnose, prescribe, or provide medical advice. QPER Twin may make mistakes, and QPER Health does not replace appropriate professional medical care. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency services.
How does QPER use my health information, and what can my employer see?
QPER uses the information you enter or connect to provide your personalized experience and operate the service. If your membership is sponsored by an employer or another organization, the sponsor does not receive your individual health information. Organizations receive only de-identified, aggregated reporting across their eligible population. See our Privacy Policy for more information.
What is different when an organization sponsors my membership?
The QPER Health member experience is the same. Your sponsoring organization will provide your enrollment and coverage details, and QPER handles your onboarding and device delivery directly. Your individual health information remains private. See our Organizations page for more information.
