Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Health Education

Background:

  • Personalized health data is crucial for effective health education.
  • Existing health risk appraisal tools may lack accessibility and interactivity.
  • Integrating health examination data into educational tools can empower individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a Web-based Health Risk Appraisal (HRA) system.
  • To utilize personal health examination data for tailored health education.
  • To create a practical tool for improving health literacy and promoting lifestyle modifications.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of a Japanese health examination database to develop predictive models for laboratory values.
  • Creation of HRA models predicting laboratory values in one year, with and without lifestyle modifications.

  • Embedding predictive models into a server for a Web-based system.

    • Main Results:

    • The Web-based HRA system was implemented in a Japanese healthcare association with 37 branches.
    • The system provides individual health education post-examination, either at a center or client's office.
    • Results include numerical values and graphs comparing current and predicted laboratory values, explained by healthcare professionals.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed Web-based HRA system serves as a practical tool for individualized health education.
    • The system facilitates understanding of health risks and the impact of lifestyle changes.
    • It supports informed decision-making for preventive healthcare and health promotion.
