Frequently asked questions
How will Heart & Stroke protect my privacy? +–

Heart & Stroke is committed to protecting your privacy. Any personal or health-related information you provide through this tool will be handled in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws and our Privacy Policy.

Any data shared outside of Heart & Stroke will be de-identified (i.e., anonymized). This means we remove all information that could in any way be used to identify you personally.

I feel healthy. Is the Risk Screen tool for me? +–

Yes, we recommend that everyone use the tool to know their personal risk factors. Many heart attacks and strokes occur in people who feel healthy and have no obvious symptoms. Screening helps identify hidden risk factors, such as blood pressure, cholesterol, stress, family history and lifestyle behaviours, before serious problems occur.

Will I get a copy of my results? +–

Yes. After completing the screening, you will receive a unique link to access your detailed report which includes your results and action plan. This link will remain active for up to one year.

Will this tool diagnose me with a condition? +–

No, the tool does not diagnose any medical conditions. It helps identify potential risk factors and provides guidance on next steps.
