The benefits of health intelligence

It provides data-driven insights into your health, enabling you to take a more proactive approach to managing your overall health, whether that’s making changes to your lifestyle or seeking additional medical support.
But that’s not all, as the benefits of regular health intelligence screening are far-reaching. From helping those with existing health concerns monitor their condition more closely to catching problems in the early stages and potentially improving outcomes.
Below, we explain more about the importance of monitoring your health through regular health intelligence and share the benefits it can offer. Plus, discover how Bluecrest Wellness health packages can help support you in taking a proactive approach to monitoring your health.
What is health intelligence?
Health intelligence provides you with data-driven insights into your overall health. It’s possible to gain intelligent insights into a wide range of health concerns and conditions through regular tests or screening. This can include your risk of chronic health conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes as well as insights into your key levels, such as your cholesterol and weight.
To be most effective, health intelligence screening should be carried out regularly to enable you to build a picture of your health by tracking and monitoring it over time.
Why is health intelligence important?
Health intelligence is important as it can provide vital data-driven insights into your health. This can help you keep track of your health, provide reassurance about any health concerns and even pick up some health conditions before you start to experience symptoms. This can help you to feel more in control of your health and enable you to make decisions that boost your longevity and help you stay fit and healthy for longer.
What tests are usually offered as part of regular health intelligence screening?
Health intelligence can provide insights into a wide range of health metrics. This can include general insights into your health and screening or testing for more specific conditions.
Typically, routine health intelligence screening such as annual health assessments includes tests such as:
- Blood pressure monitoring
- Blood tests to check cholesterol levels and diabetes risk
- Blood tests to check some essential vitamin and mineral levels
- Blood tests to check the health of key organs, such as your heart, lungs, kidney and liver
- ECG to check your heart health
- A weight and BMI check
- Insights into your risk of certain conditions like heart disease and stroke risk
What benefits can health intelligence offer?
The benefits of regular health intelligence are far-reaching and typically include:
Data-driven decisions
One of the greatest benefits of regular health intelligence is that it provides tangible data about your health. Whether this is your cholesterol level or your risk of heart disease, gaining this data can help you track, assess, and monitor any concerns, helping you take a proactive approach to managing your health.
Preventative health
Regular health intelligence screening can also play a role in preventing you from developing largely preventable diseases, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and liver disease. That’s because health data can help you to make informed decisions that may prevent certain conditions from developing.
For example, if your blood sugar levels are increasing year on year, you may be at higher risk of developing pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes. However, gaining this insight means you can take a proactive approach and look to adjust your lifestyle, such as making changes to your diet.
Earlier detection
Regular health intelligence screening can detect some health conditions before symptoms start. This can be beneficial, as many conditions can be prevented or treated more effectively if caught earlier.
Help with chronic disease management
If you already have a chronic condition, such as heart disease, regular health intelligence can help you monitor it more closely. This can help you track the effectiveness of medication or lifestyle management and seek adjustments as needed.
Improved longevity
Regular health intelligence tests can also provide vital insights into your health, which enable you to manage your health more closely. This can help improve your longevity, ensuring you stay fit, healthy and active for longer.
