Case Sharing 1

Kin, who is 45 years old, spends most of his time rushing through work at the office. He eats irregularly and relies on takeaways for every meal, resulting in a long-term diet high in salt, fat and sugar. Coupled with a smoking habit of many years and a complete lack of exercise, he never took it seriously even though he knew there was a family history of hypertension and colorectal cancer. He would only see a doctor when he had a severe cold or flu, and had never thought of proactively undergoing a health check-up. Although Kin knew the importance of health, he always neglected it due to his busy work schedule.

"I didn't really pay attention at first. But one day earlier, a colleague about my age suddenly fainted and was sent to hospital because of long-term irregular eating and lack of exercise. Tests confirmed he had cardiovascular problems. That was when I started to take my own situation seriously." Kin therefore decided to exercise more and actively face his health issues. At the same time, he downloaded the eHealth App, hoping to manage his electronic health records more effectively. "When I opened the App, I saw a 'Health Risk Assessment' prompt in the 'To-do list'. I thought filling out a questionnaire wouldn't take much time, so I spent a few minutes completing it." After finishing the questionnaire, Kin gained a clearer understanding of his health risks and, based on the advice, became a member of the District Health Centre (DHC). Through the DHC's health risk assessment, diabetes/hypertension screening, access to healthy lifestyle information, and participation in medical group activities, he has gradually built healthy management habits and taken practical steps to prevent chronic diseases.

65-year-old Uncle Ming has recently retired. He has always had a sweet tooth. Due to long-term excessive sugar intake, the sugar was converted into fat and accumulated in his body, leading to obesity and overweight. As a result, he frequently suffered from muscle and joint pain, which was becoming increasingly severe. This made him realise that his body was already waving red flags. "I was very worried that something would go wrong soon. I had also tried dieting to control my weight, but the effect was quite limited." Although Uncle Ming knew he should measure and record his blood glucose every day, he always forgot to do so, and as a result he was frequently left speechless when asked by the doctor during follow-up consultations.

On the recommendation of a friend at a community centre, he downloaded and started using the eHealth App and completed the "Health Risk Assessment". After the assessment, the App reminded him to "undergo diabetes screening at least once every three years" and also suggested that he join the "Chronic Disease Co-Care Scheme" so that he could follow up on diabetes issues early through a family doctor. "I now treat the eHealth App as my electronic health diary. It reminds me to spend one minute every morning recording my blood pressure and blood glucose. Every evening I check the 'To-do list' so I won't miss any follow-up appointments, allowing me to manage my health more effectively."

Ka Ka is a fresh university graduate who has just entered the workforce. Due to frequent overtime work, she has very little time to rest and even less time for exercise. However, she felt she was young, believing that chronic diseases had nothing to do with her at all, so she never thought of changing her lifestyle habits.

Until recently, she saw that the eHealth App had launched a brand-new "Health Empowerment" function. Out of curiosity, she completed the "Health Risk Assessment". "The assessment pointed out that I had insufficient physical activity and provided the Department of Health (DH)'s physical activity guidelines. At the same time, the system also offered useful information on changing drinking habits to reduce health risks." She has now developed the habit of opening the App to read health tips while commuting and during lunch, and refers to the exercise recommendations on the DH's "Change for Health" website. The system also reminded her to undergo regular cervical cancer screening, helping her establish preventive awareness early and manage her health well.

"Health Empowerment" Offers Several Simple and Easy-to-Use Functions:

Instant Personalised Health Advice: After users complete the questionnaire, the system immediately identifies potential risks and provides targeted health improvement suggestions, as well as pushing the most suitable health information (e.g., blood pressure-lowering diet guides, simple office stretching exercises, chronic disease prevention, etc.).

Action Shortcuts Directly to Functions: Health management suggestions provided by the App come with "Action Shortcuts". For example, users can click directly to enter the "Record Blood Pressure" page according to the advice, or link to the DHC to learn about related programmes.

Review Anytime: Assessment recommendations are stored in the App and can be reviewed at any time.

(Note: The recommendations are for reference only. Please consult your family doctor if you have any questions.)
