An online integrated health risk assessment tool

据估计，1100万加拿大慢性病患者占医疗保健总费用的70%。世界卫生组织建议，提高依从性干预措施的有效性，以减少风险因素和预防慢性病，对人口健康的影响可能远远大于任何特定医疗方法的改进。我们将解决以下研究问题，以提高依从性。我们如何评估和预测一个人的健康风险的慢性疾病的生活方式，人口统计学，文化，饮食和锻炼，态度和动机，健康和药物信仰的数据，除了临床指标？可以开发哪些有意义的健康行为集群来帮助专业团队提供有针对性的医疗保健沟通和个性化辅导？成功的慢性病预防和管理的生活方式和行为的驱动因素是什么？我们如何将数据转化为策略和建议，将高风险人群转化为低风险人群？

Eleven million Canadians with chronic diseases account for an estimated 70% of the total health care cost. The World Health Organization advises that increasing the effectiveness of adherence interventions to reduce risk factors and prevent chronic disease may have a far greater impact on the health of the population than any improvement in specific medical treatments. We will address the following research questions to improve adherence. How can we assess and predict a persons health risk of a chronic disease with data on lifestyle, demographics, culture, diet and exercise, attitude and motivation, health and medication beliefs, in addition to the clinical indicators? What meaningful health behavior clusters can be developed to help professional teams deliver targeted health care communications and personalize coaching? What are the driving factors of lifestyles and behaviors for a successful Chronic Disease Prevention and Management? How can we turn data into strategies and recommendations to transform the high risk people into low risk category?
