Dr. Doyle's
GetWell Score.

Brian T. Doyle, MD · Family Medicine

Know your score. Live better.

Dr. Doyle's GetWell Score turns the clinical benchmarks your physician already tracks — blood pressure, A1C, cholesterol, screenings — into a single number you can actually improve. Every point you gain is a step toward a longer healthspan: more years lived well, not just lived.

The concept

Like a credit score —
but for your health.

Your credit score is a single number that reflects your financial habits over time. Your GetWell Score does the same for your health — measuring the clinical metrics that matter most, and showing you exactly how to improve.

Built from A1C, blood pressure, LDL, cancer screenings, sleep, and more. You can't improve it overnight — but every healthy choice moves it upward.
Earning points

Every healthy choice
adds to your score.

Points are earned across five categories — all grounded in evidence-based clinical guidelines from USPSTF, ADA, and the ACC/AHA.

🩸
Lab benchmarks
Points for hitting clinically meaningful targets on your blood work. Higher points for bigger improvements.
A1C under 7.0%+600 pts
LDL under 100 mg/dL+300 pts
A1C under 5.7% — normal range+1,500 pts
💓
Blood pressure
Track your systolic blood pressure monthly. Points increase the closer you get to optimal range.
Under 140 mmHg+100 pts
Under 130 mmHg+250 pts
Under 120 mmHg+500 pts
🔬
Cancer screenings
Completing your recommended screenings earns significant points — because prevention is the highest-value health action.
Colonoscopy completed+600 pts
Mammogram current+400 pts
PAP / HPV current+400 pts
⚖️
Weight loss
Even small amounts of weight loss have meaningful clinical impact. Points are tied to percentage of body weight lost.
3% body weight lost+150 pts
5% body weight lost+350 pts
10% body weight lost+700 pts
😴
Sleep & bedtime
Consistent sleep timing — not just duration — is one of the strongest predictors of metabolic health. Log your bedtime each night.
3+ nights on target+75 pts/wk
5+ nights on target+150 pts/wk
7 nights on target+200 pts/wk
🚶
Daily healthy habits
Small daily actions build your score steadily — logging meals, taking medications, going for a walk, drinking enough water.
Log a meal+10 pts
30-minute walk+20 pts
Medications taken+15 pts

Clinical benchmarks

The targets are real.
The thresholds are evidence-based.

Every GetWell Score threshold comes directly from guidelines published by USPSTF, the American Blood Sugar Association, ACC/AHA, and the American Cancer Society. This isn't an arbitrary point system — it's your doctor's goals, made visible.

Questions

Common questions.

Is GetWell Score part of my medical record?
No. GetWell Score is a separate wellness tracking program. Your self-reported data is stored only on your own device — nothing is transmitted to your practice's systems or added to your chart. Your care team sees your score when you show them your phone, and they verify values against your existing chart during visits.
Who can use GetWell Score?
GetWell Score Health is currently a pilot program. Ask your provider whether your practice participates. We hope to expand to additional practices in Southwest Michigan.
What if I don't have recent lab work?
That's completely fine. Many patients start GetWell Score with a score based only on their lifestyle habits — sleep, daily goals, and self-reported values — and their score grows as they complete lab work, screenings, and annual visits. Your provider can discuss which labs to prioritize at your next visit.
Is participation voluntary?
Absolutely. GetWell Score Health is a completely voluntary wellness program. Participation has no effect on your clinical care. Every patient receives the same high-quality care regardless of whether they participate.
Who designed the clinical benchmarks?
GetWell Score was designed by Brian Doyle, MD, a board-certified family physician. Every benchmark threshold — A1C targets, blood pressure ranges, screening intervals — is drawn directly from current guidelines published by the USPSTF, American Blood Sugar Association, ACC/AHA, and American Cancer Society. The thresholds are not arbitrary; they are the same targets your provider already works toward with you in the clinic.
How is my data stored?
All data you enter in the GetWell Score app is stored locally on your device — in your browser's storage — and is never transmitted to any server. Your practice does not receive your self-reported values through the app. When you come in for a visit, you show your screen to staff who verify your values against your chart. Nothing is uploaded, synced, or shared automatically.
Is GetWell Score HIPAA-compliant?
No — GetWell Score is not HIPAA-compliant, and is not designed to be. It is a voluntary wellness education tool, not a covered health service or medical record system. Because your data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to any third party, it does not fall under HIPAA's data transmission rules. However, this also means it carries none of HIPAA's protections. We strongly recommend you do not enter your full name, date of birth, insurance information, or any other personally identifiable information into the app. Use initials or a nickname for any personalization.
How do I keep my health data private and secure?
Because GetWell Score stores everything on your device and never transmits it to a server, the security of your device is the most important factor in keeping your data private. Here are the steps we recommend:
  • Lock your phone. Use a passcode, Face ID, or fingerprint lock. Anyone with physical access to an unlocked phone can open the app.
  • Don't use GetWell Score on shared or public devices. Library computers, hotel kiosks, or shared tablets are not appropriate for health tracking.
  • Don't enter personally identifiable information. Use initials or a nickname instead of your full name. Avoid entering your date of birth or insurance details.
  • Back up securely. The app's export file contains your health values. If you save a backup, store it in a private cloud folder (iCloud, Google Drive) with a strong password — not in a shared folder or via unencrypted email.
  • Clear your data if you sell or share your phone. Use the app's data reset option, or clear your browser's local storage before transferring your device.
The science

Why these numbers matter.

Every GetWell Score benchmark comes from peer-reviewed research. Here are the key studies — in plain language — behind each metric. Click any title to read the original paper.

🩸Blood sugar & diabetes (A1C)
+
A landmark 20-year study of 4,000 people with type 2 diabetes found that every 1% reduction in A1C reduces diabetes-related deaths by 21% and cuts the risk of eye, kidney, and nerve complications by up to 37%. The basis for why A1C under 7% matters so much.
A Swedish registry study of 271,000 people with type 2 diabetes showed that patients with well-controlled blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol can achieve near-normal life expectancy — nearly closing the gap with the general population entirely.
💓Blood pressure
+
A US trial of 9,361 adults found that targeting blood pressure under 120 mmHg (instead of the standard 140) reduced all-cause mortality by 27% and major cardiovascular events by 25%. This trial directly informed the tighter blood pressure targets in GetWell Score's gold tier.
A meta-analysis of 123 clinical trials covering 613,815 patients confirmed that every 10 mmHg drop in systolic blood pressure reduces stroke risk by 27%, heart attack risk by 18%, and heart failure risk by 28% — at any baseline level.
🧪Cholesterol (LDL)
+
The largest analysis of cholesterol-lowering trials ever conducted — 170,000 patients across 26 studies — showed that every 38 mg/dL reduction in LDL reduces major cardiovascular events by 22%. The benefits hold regardless of starting LDL level, meaning lower is genuinely better.
Using genetic evidence from 312,000 people, this study confirmed that lifetime lower LDL causes dramatically lower cardiovascular disease — not just the association, but direct causation. It established that starting cholesterol management early has an outsized lifelong benefit.
⚖️Weight loss
+
Analysis of 900,000 adults across 57 studies found that maintaining a healthy weight adds 2–4 years of life expectancy compared to obesity, with the excess mortality risk rising steadily above a BMI of 25. Even modest sustained weight loss meaningfully reduces this risk.
A 10-year randomized trial of 5,145 overweight adults with type 2 diabetes showed that intensive lifestyle-driven weight loss produced significant improvements in A1C, blood pressure, cholesterol, and kidney function — even when weight was only partially maintained.
🔬Cancer screenings
+
A trial of 53,454 heavy smokers found that annual low-dose CT scans reduced lung cancer deaths by 20% compared to standard chest X-rays. For eligible patients — current or recent smokers aged 50–80 — this is one of the most impactful preventive actions available.
A European trial of 84,585 adults confirmed that colonoscopy screening reduces colorectal cancer cases by 18% and colorectal cancer deaths by 50% at 10 years. Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers — and one of the most commonly missed screenings.
😴Sleep consistency
+
A study of 88,000 UK Biobank participants found that sleep regularity — going to bed at a consistent time — is a stronger predictor of all-cause mortality than sleep duration alone. People with highly irregular sleep schedules had 20–40% higher mortality risk compared to consistent sleepers.
A meta-analysis of 1.1 million adults across multiple countries confirmed a U-shaped relationship between sleep and mortality — both too little (under 6 hours) and too much (over 9 hours) are associated with higher death rates. The sweet spot is 7–8 hours with a consistent schedule.
🍷Alcohol
+
An analysis of alcohol data from 195 countries found that when all health effects are considered together — including cancer risk — the safest level of alcohol consumption is zero. Even moderate drinking is associated with increased cancer risk that outweighs any cardiovascular benefit claimed for light drinking.
A pooled analysis of 83 prospective studies covering 600,000 drinkers found that consuming 10–15 drinks per week is associated with 1–2 years shorter life expectancy compared to non-drinkers, with the risk rising substantially above that level.
🚶Physical activity & daily habits
+
Analysis of 650,000 adults found that 150 minutes per week of moderate physical activity — roughly a 20-minute walk most days — adds 3.4 years of life expectancy. Even modest amounts of movement add meaningful years, and the benefits start immediately regardless of age or current fitness level.
A meta-analysis of 47,471 adults confirmed that 7,000–8,000 steps per day is associated with significantly lower all-cause mortality — and that the 10,000-step target commonly promoted in wellness programs has no special scientific basis. More steps help, but the biggest gains come from going from sedentary to moderately active.
All GetWell Score benchmarks are grounded in current USPSTF and specialty society guidelines.
The specific thresholds — A1C under 7%, blood pressure under 130, LDL under 100 — are the same targets your care team already works toward with you at every visit. GetWell Score makes them visible and trackable between appointments.
