Latest Intelligent Health Assessment Technologies
Preventive Medicine: A Cost-Saving Approach to Health
According to data from the Hong Kong Cancer Statistics Center, young patients continue to increase. The incidence of cancer among those aged 20 to 44 has increased by 16% in ten years. The "three highs" and cardiovascular diseases are no longer "only for the elderly". Early prevention is far better than cure.
In today's fast-paced work environment, the importance of proactive health management cannot be overstated. Many individuals may feel healthy, yet underlying conditions can pose significant risks. By leveraging advanced health assessment technologies, we can identify potential health issues before they escalate, ultimately reducing medical expenses.
This session will introduce the Hospital’s outreach health assessment services designed for organizations, enabling employees to better understand and improve their health:
How the Intelligent Health Assessment Technologies prevent illnesses?
-
Body Composition Analysis - Prevents the "three highs" - the risk of high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood lipids
-
Vascular Age Test - Prevents the risk of vascular embolism, coronary heart disease, heart attack and stroke
-
Grip Strength Test - Reflects overall muscle strength and cardio-vascular health
-
Ultra-Sound Fatty Liver Analysis - Prevents fatty liver, cirrhosis, and liver cancer
-
Ultra-Sound Bone Density Analysis - Prevents osteoporosis and fragility fractures
-
3D Muscle and Joint Analysis - Identifies shoulders, neck, back, waist, knees and other chronic pain conditions (such as headache, dizziness, dyspnea, nausea, etc.)
Speakers: Mr. Alan Siu - Health Educator/Dietitian, Lifestyle Management Center, Hong Kong Adventist Hospital-Stubbs Road & Mr. Michael Chung - Physiotherapist, Hong Kong Adventist Hospital - Stubbs Road

Beating Burnout: Strategies for Heart Health and Well-Being Workshop
Heart-Smart Solutions: Build Resilience and Well-Being
A recent survey by the Labour Department revealed that 65% of employees continue to handle work matters after office hours, with over 10% dedicating more than two additional hours per week to work-related tasks. Alarmingly, 85% of respondents reported symptoms of overwork, and more than 20% are experiencing chronic fatigue, memory decline, decreased concentration, insomnia, and depression.
Heart disease is the second leading cause of death in Hong Kong, with coronary heart disease accounting for 70% of cardiac-related fatalities. There is an alarming trend of coronary heart disease affecting younger individuals, often with sudden attacks that occur without warning. While genetic factors play a role, stress and unhealthy lifestyle choices are significant contributors to cardiovascular diseases. This invisible health crisis poses a serious threat to the well-being of every working professional.
Dr. Lo will share his expertise on workplace cardiac health. He will outline effective prevention strategies to combat work-related heart issues, including deaths from overexertion.
