Introducing Higi
How often do you check in on your health? For many, a yearly checkup is not often enough. Monitoring your health regularly allows you to spot changes as early as possible. When you know how your health is changing over time, you can move forward with confidence. That’s where Higi comes in.
At Higi Stations across the U.S., you can check key health numbers like blood pressure and weight, see if you’re at risk for heart disease and diabetes, and get support — all for free.
Here are some ways you can take control of your health at the Higi Station:
Check your blood pressure and pulse: Your blood pressure and pulse numbers give you important information about your health. High blood pressure can put you at risk for health problems like heart disease and it usually has no symptoms. The only way to know if you have high blood pressure is to measure it regularly. [1]
Discover your risk for heart disease and diabetes: Heart disease and diabetes affect millions of Americans. Many people with these conditions don’t even know they have it. Take the Heart Risk Test and Diabetes Risk Test at a Higi Station to get your personal risk score for diabetes and heart disease so you can better understand your health. [2,3]
Join the Health Guide: Health Guide is a self-guided journey powered by the American Heart Association that gives you access to smart tips for building heart-healthy habits.
Watch your health trends in your Higi Account: Your free Higi Account allows you to keep track of your blood pressure and weight numbers automatically. Seeing your numbers on a graph shows you if they’re going up or down over time.
