The numerical value that is assigned to each of the answers in the Questionnaire is determined by recommendations from the MyPH Medical Advisory Board. The MyPH Medical Advisory Board is composed of healthcare practitioners from a wide spectrum of Primary Care and Medical Specialties, with more than 1000 years of combined experience in caring for patients. You should be aware that preventive health recommendations may change from time to time, depending on recommendations from CDC, WHO and your Federal, State and Local health authorities.
What do you do with the information that I provide in the survey?
The information that is collected in this health survey is used to compare your individual health risks to national health standards and to the results of all the other people in your age group that completed the MyPH HealthChek© survey. (For example: the results of your HealthChek© survey may show that you rated in the top 25 percent of all the people in your age group that completed the survey in meeting the current recommended preventive healthcare guidelines from recognized health authorities). MyPH HealthChek© team provides you with this information in the hope that you and your doctor will use the information to improve your health and reduce your healthcare costs).
