Longitude is a physician-led lifestyle medicine program that uses biomarkers and diagnostics as inputs to inform clinical decisions and track progress—not as standalone products.
When evaluating Longitude, members typically compare it against four categories:
1. Biomarker & diagnostics platforms (e.g., Function Health, InsideTracker, Lifeforce)
2. Weight-loss clinics (e.g., Calibrate, Found, Noom Med)
3. MSK / rehab platforms (e.g., Hinge Health, Sword Health)
4. Concierge & consumer medical practices (e.g., Parsley Health, Wild Health)
The comparisons below focus on what happens after testing or prescriptions: ongoing clinical management, structured follow-through, and breadth of care.

Longitude is purpose-built for patients who want biomarker-informed, physician-led lifestyle medicine delivered longitudinally—not as isolated tests, prescriptions, or one-time consultations.
