Mr Liak
Teng Lit, Chief Executive Officer of CGH said : "We
developed this programme for our staff's healthy lifestyle
programme last year. We then showed this programme to some
of our friends from other organisations, and they were excited.
At that time, we were just able to use the programme to
do health screening for a small number of organisations.
In fact it was Mr Yeo Guat Kwang, the Director of the Healthy
Lifestyle Unit of NTUC who suggested that we put the programme
on the web so that more people can benefit from it."
Surfing
through the programme, the user will be able to determine
whether he is engaging in lifestyle activities which promote
health and prevent diseases. Said Dr Wee Wei Keong, Deputy
Director of Clinical Services and a key member of the programme
development team : "Cancer, heart attack and stroke
share common risk factors such as obesity, lack of exercise,
smoking, hypertension and diabetes. These are all lifestyle
related disease conditions. This programme seeks to measure
how well you are leading a healthy lifestyle and provide
customised advice for you."
Users
simply need to go through a questionnaire and input their
height, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose and blood
cholesterol measurements into the programme.

A personalised
report will be generated with specific advice on the person's
health and general information about major lifestyle related
diseases. As a one-stop health site, users can also test
their medical knowledge through a quiz and gain access to
other top health websites through the Hot Links. Nevertheless,
this website does not substitute for a doctor, as its main
function is to provide members of the public with health
information.
