Consultants
Health Group's consultants are specialized in performing health checks. They have at least a bachelor's degree in fields such as physiotherapy, nursing, nutrition and health.
Control measurement by your own doctor
If values are measured that are too high or low compared to official guidelines, employees are referred to their own doctor for a control measurement. It is your own doctor who will perform further tests/measurements and handle it if necessary and any subsequent treatment. According to Heart Foundation statistics, it can be expected that approximately 15-20% of employees are referred to a doctor due to high blood pressure, cholesterol levels and blood sugar. Some employees may find that the doctor measures lower values than those measured during the health check. This is completely normal and can be due to various circumstances of the health check itself, such as stress, diet, sleep, fasting, etc. But differences in equipment can also play a role.
Equipment
The equipment for all measurements is clinically tested and approved medical test equipment and the most accurate on the market. The results are therefore highly reliable.
Confidentiality
The security and confidentiality of all data is of the utmost importance to us. Health Group ensures that all information is stored securely and treated with strict confidentiality. You can rest assured that no data will be shared with your employer or any third party. Your personal information remains completely confidential.
Precautions
There are several factors to consider to ensure that physical measurements are as accurate as possible:
- You should not be more physically active than usual the day before your health check.
- Avoid drinking alcohol the day before your health check.
- Make sure you are well rested.
- Make sure you drink at least ½ - 1 liter of water throughout the day.
- Avoid drinking coffee/coke and alcohol on the day of your health check.
