The questions worth asking early.

YOUR OWN ANSWERS

Before your heart check

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.

What you walk away with

Three things, in about five minutes.

01

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.

02

Understand what a real risk tool requires

Validated cardiovascular calculators need specific inputs measured in specific ways. Knowing what they are tells you what to ask for.

03

An honest answer about what we can and cannot say

You get a clear account of why ONU is not publishing a cardiovascular percentage, instead of a confident-looking figure with nothing behind it.

What it looks at

Nothing hidden behind the result.

Clinical measurements

  • Blood pressure
  • Total, LDL and HDL cholesterol
  • Blood sugar
  • Age and sex

Everyday life

  • Smoking
  • Activity frequency
  • Diet pattern
  • Alcohol

Your history

  • Family history of heart disease
  • Existing diagnoses
  • Current medicines

Resting heart rate, heart-rate variability and activity from your connected wearable.

How it works

Three steps. No sign-up to begin.

  1. 01

    Collect what you already have

    Recent blood pressure readings and your last lipid panel are the two that matter most.

  2. 02

    Take the list to an appointment

    A clinician can run a validated risk calculator properly, with your real numbers and your real history.

  3. 03

    Track the things you can move

    Activity, smoking, blood pressure and weight are all modifiable, and all visible in the app over time.

What this is not.

  • 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.
  • The supplied model blends proportions of two different published risk tools. That blend is not an implementation of either, and its totals overlap at the boundaries.
  • No five-year or ten-year cardiovascular percentage is produced anywhere on this website.
  • If you have symptoms that worry you, contact a healthcare professional rather than waiting for an app.
