The innovative healthcare management software tracks hypertension, diabetes and weight over time and then predicts cardiovascular risk. Because of the high demand for the software (over 30000 downloads since its creation in 2009), the new software is available as a free download as part of an international effort aimed at reducing the burden of cardiovascular diseases.
With the HealthWo
rks BMS, up to three separate users can easily enter data manually or download it from selected monitoring devices. The data then interacts to predict cardiovascular risk. This allows users to see in real time what effect an increase in their weight, for example, will have on their blood pressure and may act as an incentive for them to change their lifestyle.The HealthWorks BMS also contains comprehensive frequently asked questions files covering blood pressure, diabetes, temperature and asthma and presents the users with meaningful information that allows them to take responsibility for their health by using an instantly understandable interface and a simple system of green/yellow/red lights to translate complex medical information into an intuitive system. It also uses large fonts and a simple design to make it easier for elderly users to use.
The software is completely free and can be downloaded from http://www.medactiv.com
The philosophy behind HealthWorks and their products is to promote wellbeing through preventive healthcare by helping users to stay healthy, rather than curing them after they get sick.
A real tool for health management
Health management often fails to address basic issues such as disease education, which is the axis on which healthcare should be balanced. “In health management, we really should try and manage patients, not diseases. It is only through information that we will truly empower patients to take responsibility for their health. By basing the core of its business not only on sales but also on service, HealthWorks is helping people worldwide by empowering them to manage their diseases and to take responsibility for their health” says Uwe DIEGEL, president of HealthWorks Global.
HealthWorks is a group of several companies, each of which has unique know-how in the field of healthcare. The HealthWorks Group is establishing itself as one of the most progressive medical companies providing managed healthcare worldwide. The companies in the group include HealthWorks CardioVascular, which does fundamental research on peripheral arterial diseases and MedActiv, which develops solutions for the storage and transport of thermo-sensitive medication, such as the Medifridge, the world’s smallest fridge.
