Know which numbers your clinician needs
Blood pressure, the full lipid panel, blood sugar, smoking status and family history. Walk in with them ready instead of booking a second appointment.
Six questions. They do not produce a risk figure — the supplied cardiovascular model blends two validated scores in a way that does not reproduce either. What they produce is the list a clinician would want in front of them.
ONU does not publish a score for this area — the supplied model has unresolved gaps, and a number with no settled meaning would be worse than none. What this gives you is a sheet to take to an appointment.
Blood pressure, the full lipid panel, blood sugar, smoking status and family history. Walk in with them ready instead of booking a second appointment.
Validated cardiovascular calculators need specific inputs measured in specific ways. Knowing what they are tells you what to ask for.
You get a clear account of why ONU is not publishing a cardiovascular percentage, instead of a confident-looking figure with nothing behind it.
Resting heart rate, heart-rate variability and activity from your connected wearable.
Recent blood pressure readings and your last lipid panel are the two that matter most.
A clinician can run a validated risk calculator properly, with your real numbers and your real history.
Activity, smoking, blood pressure and weight are all modifiable, and all visible in the app over time.
Take the list above to an appointment, and keep the everyday signals in view in the ONU app between visits.
