Is annual control enough to prevent diseases?


Based on data, habits and internal indicators, the innovative predictive control helps to anticipate risks and prevent diseases

Understand why anticipating the risks is essential for lasting health

When it comes to taking care of health, the control has already become part of the routine of many people. But not everyone knows that there are several ways to make this accompaniment – and that generate very different results. While the traditional model evaluates how your health is today and most of the early diagnosis, the predictive exhibition where it is walking, enabling prevention. And in practice, this difference changes everything.




Types of control

Traditional check-up is based on standardized tests that try to identify the changes that are already happening in the body, even in silence. It is that package of standardized exams that measures cholesterol, blood sugar, if the liver works well and other common indicators – important, but often underline something when the problem has already resolved.

Predictive control aims to predict, based on data, what can happen in the future. Use of algorithms that cross clinical tests such as hormonal and inflammatory indicators with life habits and mental health information. This approach can identify trends and risks even before symptoms appear. This allows you to act before the disease, with more effective and personalized prevention strategies.

“When we think about health, it is not enough to look at what has already changed. We must understand what is under construction inside the body, even without symptoms. Predictive control allows this early reading, giving the patient the opportunity to act before the disease appears. It is a reactive mode and go to a truly preventive cure,” says Fabio Gabas, founder of Hmetrix, a predictive health.

An example of result

A good example is type 2 diabetes. In traditional control, blood sugar can be normal. But in the predictive, it is possible to identify the metabolic models that indicate a predisposition to the problem, allowing the patient to change habits and prevent the evolution of the condition. The same goes for cardiovascular diseases, cognitive decline, immunity and burnout.

In practice, this means that a patient with exams within the normal range in the traditional model could already accumulate silent indicators that indicate a tendency to develop these diseases. Predictive check-up sees this movement and allows you to act in advance.

In addition to being completed, predictive control is also individualized. “There are no revenue ready. Two patients with the same age and weight may have completely different needs. So understanding the data and context of each is fundamental,” says Gabas.

Don’t wait for problems, it prevents you

In a scenario in which chronic diseases grow in silence, waiting for the problem to appear just like this is no longer enough, so 75% of people die from avoidable diseases. Predictive check-up represents an evolution in the way of taking care of health, more early, personalized and, above all, more effective.
