Heart risk assessment
Heart risk assessment
The MyHeartRisk heart risk assessment takes a very different approach from others.
MyHeartRisk not only performs a heart disease risk assessment but provides personal guidance and health recommendations as a direct response to the data entered by the individual to answer the question what is my heart disease risk. This unique approach to heart risk assessment is based upon a longterm relationship between the individual and the program rather than the standard method of entering a few pieces of generalized data.
The user is given simple instructions to research and then input data about themselves and their family members. Another fundamental difference between the MyHeartRisk heart disease risk assessment and others is that the data is retained and securely stored which enables the user to return as often as required to build up their personal database of my heart disease risk data.
Yet another significant difference is the special importance given to the user’s family history of heart disease. In order to collect the necessary details of any heart disease problems with family members MyHeartRisk encourages the user to build their family tree and record details of heart attack, stroke, PVD and surgical cardiovascular procedure. The longterm partnership between the user and MyHeartRisk enables the necessary time to find out and then enter personal information and family members. The heart disease risk assessment program will analyze all the information and prompt the user where significant data is not provided.
The data is used by the heart risk assessment procedure to prepare an individual multipage package consisting of a family tree, risk charts and a detailed personal report which can be printed.
Each of these can be readily understood by the user but are designed to be invaluable to the user’s doctor or other healthcare advisor. By collecting all of this information and having it collated into this organized format the user can provide their doctor with far more information than would normally be available from several consultations.
Once the user acts upon the health recommendations included in the personal report, and other advice, the user returns and updates their personal database of information. Due to the longterm relationship the next major feature is then used to provide progress charts showing the improvement in risk over time. These progress charts not only provide encouragement to the user to continue their efforts but give feedback to their healthcare advisor.
In summary the major differences between the MyHeartRisk heart risk assessment or other risk assessment tools are:
- Personal guidance and health recommendations
- Addresses my heart disease risk for the individual
- Longterm relationship using secure database for data entry
- Special importance given to family history of heart disease
- Prompts for important missing data
- Family tree, risk charts and personal report
