Health Risk Assessment (HRA)
Health Risk Assessment is a tool to calculate your wellness score & predict your health risk in various different areas. HRA is a simple questionnaire based on your current health, family health history, lifestyle and social health. The more accurately you answer those questions the more accurate the risk prediction will be.
Wellness Score
Once you take the risk assessment, you would receive a Wellness Score. This score indicates, when it comes to health, how well you are doing as compared to your peers. You could consider it as an indicator of where you stand in your health journey and what improvements you need to make, in order to move to the next level.
Risk Status
If you are worried about or unaware of your health risks, the Health Risk Assessment tool is just what the doctor ordered. The tool would assess your risk to 13 different health conditions and make you aware of health areas that you should pay closer attention.
Personalized Report
Post the assessment, you would receive a completely personalized health plan. It is based on your responses, identified risk areas and your profile. The plan would help you with some immediate steps to ensure your health and same time provide tips on how to manage possible risk areas.
