20 minutes could save your life
Our goal is to improve the overall health of New Zealanders while making it as accessible and affordable as possible
In New Zealand, Cardiovascular disease kills one person every 90 minutes. Most of us do not even know that we have cardiovascular disease, but it is predictable and in most cases it is preventable. Health Screening NZ is a New Zealand founded company that is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of New Zealanders and ensuring that preventative treatment is accessible and affordable for all. We have created CardiAction — an innovative heart screening and intervention management app to make heart and artery health easy to improve and manage.
Why Should I Have a Heart and Artery Screening?
In your lifetime there’s a good chance that either yourself or a close friend or family member will get cardiovascular disease. There’s also a good chance they may have it already but not know it. Cardiovascular disease is predictable and preventable and we’ve developed a pain-free and non-invasive screening so that you know your risk and what you can do to be heart healthy.
- Cardiovascular disease kills one person every 90 minutes in NZ.
- Approximately 75% of premature cardiovascular disease is preventable.
- Cardiovascular disease is the No.1 cause of death in NZ for men and women.
How Does Cardiaction Work?
The fundamental component of CardiAction involves a pulse wave analysis (PWA) test which can determine your risk factors for heart disease and is undertaken by one of our expert screeners. This is pain free, non-invasive and the results are available in minutes. PWA machines are considered the global ‘gold standard’ in non-invasive cardiovascular testing and are featured in over 1500 scientific publications as well as used in the top 20 hospitals in the USA. Now that this cutting-edge technology is readily available in New Zealand, Health Screening NZ are on a mission to screen and help as many Kiwi’s as we can.
We have created an app called CardiAction so that you are able to access your PWA results at any time and it crucially allows you to track any progress in your next screening. CardiAction will also present your individual health interventions, including exercise and nutritional guidance, helping you to follow your tailored health regime.
Health Screening NZ is currently offering these cutting-edge PWA heart screenings in select pharmacies throughout the country. Simply book through our website and attend your appointment in the location which is easiest for you. After your PWA test, your friendly screener will explain your results and assess your potential risk of cardiovascular disease as well as showing you how to use CardiAction to improve your heart and artery health—all with personalised recommendations. If your results are serious, your screener will refer you to your GP or a cardiologist and you will be able to share your PWA results with them.
