May is Stroke Awareness month. It seems fitting that billboards will pop up reminding people to think FAST or BE FAST – Balance issues, Eye/vision problems, Facial drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call emergency services. Of course, this is absolutely important information. To be sure, there is no need to diminish its value. But what else can be done to help consumers better understand their own health status? Wouldn’t it be great if you could help them understand their likelihood of experiencing a stroke? You can!
What We Offer for Stroke Awareness Month:
At HealthAware, our user-friendly online StrokeAware risk assessment integrates seamlessly into your current programs while allowing the community to take the first step towards discovering health risks and taking action to improve their well-being.
Additionally, HealthAware will be releasing v3 of our popular StrokeAware assessment this year. This assessment uses the National Stroke Association Stroke Risk Scorecard and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association Guidelines for the Primary Prevention of Stroke. It will provide key results in 3 categories of high, moderate, low.
How Marketers Can Help:
Based on the risk stratification the user receives, there exist immediate opportunities to promote care resources. These can include chronic care management, smoking cessation programs, fitness classes, diabetes support groups, and a number of other services your organization already has in place.
