Goodbye PDF's - The Need for Innovation
Healthcare shouldn't feel like extra work. At NiaHealth, we understand that in our busy lives, the rare moments we have to focus on our health should be as effortless and direct as possible. We recognize that patients don't want to decipher lengthy, complex PDFs. Instead, they need intuitive ways to explore their health and understand their bodies' needs.
The effectiveness of a health report hinges on the patient's ability to comprehend it. A comprehensive health report's goal is to paint the entire picture of what’s going on with a patient's health. But too often this overload of information overwhelms patients, and they are lost when it comes to figuring out what to prioritize and where to begin. What good is a comprehensive report if patients have to identify the most critical areas themselves? That's why Nia is proud to introduce our solution to this challenge: the interactive dashboard.
Our interactive dashboards offer a seamless experience, presenting complex medical information in an easily digestible format. Unlike static PDFs filled with dense text and medical jargon, our dashboards provide a visual and interactive way to explore your body's areas of priority, your overall health metrics, and resultant action plans. This approach not only reduces the cognitive burden on patients but also encourages them to engage more actively with their health data.
We wanted to write this article to demonstrate all of the features of our dashboard so you guys can navigate them seamlessly.
Health Grades - An Intuitive Visual Metric
The first and most eye-popping feature of your dashboard is our Health Grades. Crafted by our clinical team, NiaHealth's Beta Health Scoring System provides a high-level overview of your current health status based on your latest results. Users are provided with a health grade for each component of your health (ex. Heart, Bone, Liver) as well as an overall health grade that factors in all of the components.
Our goal was to create an intuitive system that makes interpreting your clinical results as effortless as possible. Your results for each measured biomarker— whether optimal, normal, or at-risk — are assigned points accordingly. Despite a ‘normal’ biomarker level being in line with the rest of the population, at NiaHealth we aspire for optimal living and lifestyle. Similar to how in school the ‘B’ letter grade is the average/ expectation, we believe in providing direction for those patients who are striving for that ‘A’ / optimal level.
These biomarker points collectively contribute to various health grades. The weighting of the points that factor into the grades varies, with some exerting a greater influence on your health score than others. We categorize these graded components as top score drivers and secondary score drivers. Since some biomarkers are greater indicators than others in terms of health impact, they are applied a greater weight. Another thing to note is that certain results can influence multiple health areas. For instance, A1c levels can affect both heart and metabolic health.
Similarly to the individual health area grades, your overall health grade is calculated using the top score drivers and secondary score drivers method. Since heart health is a stronger indicator of long-term wellness than bone health, your heart grade becomes a greater component of the overall grade. For the overall health grade, the top score drivers are Heart Health, Metabolic Health, and Fitness Health whereas the secondary score drivers are Kidney & Urinary Health, Blood Health, Liver Health, and Bone Health.
Prioritized Layout
We understand how when given a multitude of recommendations indicating the countless things that you can do better it can feel overwhelming. We tackle this at NiaHealth by having a prioritization system so you have the options to confront these areas in a tactical manner.
Right in your main dashboard, we employ a sophisticated system to help you focus on what truly matters for your health. Using your health grades we rank each of your health areas in terms of what you should prioritize tackling first, based on your at-risk levels and the importance of the area.
In-Depth Area Analysis
Once you select the area that you wish to focus on it will take you to an exploration into what biomarker components are at risk and how you can improve them. You can see the profile of the biomarkers that are the greatest risk to that area and then be able to read the analysis of how the biomarker works and possible ways to improve it.
Immediate Action Plan
Not only can you explore how to approach each of your health areas individually, but the dashboard also provides an Immediate Action Plan prioritizing your next steps. This plan provides you with actionable recommendations to start your journey towards a healthier life.
Each recommendation is linked to improving areas of need for your overall health. By selecting one of the options you can learn what health areas it is addressing and how you can actualize this recommendation into your schedules.
Explore Holistic Insights
Another option is to explore possible recommendations by area. If exercise is already something you are looking to improve, you can select it and gain actionable insights that will directly correspond to your body's needs.
