New digital health check to tackle deadly cardiovascular disease

New digital health check to tackle deadly cardiovascular disease A Digital NHS Health Check that will deliver one million checks is to be rolled out across England from next spring, the government has announced.

The current NHS Health Check has helped to prevent heart attacks and strokes and is currently a face-to-face check-up for adults in England aged 40 to 74. Commissioned by local authorities and largely delivered through GP surgeries, it can help spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, or dementia.
