Wellness Programs Turn To Biometric Screening

Biometric screenings are an increasingly important part of corporate wellness programs where employees monitor their blood pressure, cholesterol levels, triglycerides, blood glucose, and any other measurement that corporations and their employees choose to measure.
 
There are many reasons to do biometric testing such as health promotion, health awareness, and health education; however, the primary factor motivating organizations to have this service performed is economics. Health screenings have been shown to reduce overall medical expenditure by identifying risk factors and employees that need added health coaching services.
 

With a goal of early risk detection and intervention, biometric screening can help evaluate health and are geared toward encouraging healthy lifestyles. And now with the advent of in-home smartphone biometric screening, these measurements can help consumers take control of their healthcare destiny by prioritizing their well-being and help generate a personal healthcare regimen.
 
The biometric data you can collect at home can easily be stored digitally for years or decades, helping you build better health risk assessment baselines that you can use to analyze the success or failure of particular wellness protocols. Collected biometric data can even allow your doctor to assess your health over many years, helping him or her spot trends and more accurately diagnose problems.
