How it works
Go to your account dashboard and look for the BMI Risk tool
If you have not completed your health profile, the BMI Risk tool will be locked. Select the ‘Complete assessment’ button
Now complete the assessment questionnaire
You will now be graded with a risk score, and redirected to the tool on your dashboard
If your score indicates a risk then you will see a warning sign. Click the warning sign and you will now be able to see an advisory message advising you what to do
If you are graded as obese, then we will automatically check if you qualify for weight loss treatments. If you are, you will see a recommendation appear on the Weight Loss Programs tool which you can select to proceed to a Weight Loss consultation
Every 3 months, we recommend that you repeat the assessment or update your health profile. Your risk may change as you adapt your lifestyle by implementing healthy living advice provided or if you are prescribed a weight loss treatment
