AI Heart Health Check — Cardiovascular Risk Score, Analysed by AI

Cardiovascular disease is still the single biggest cause of death worldwide, responsible for around 17 million deaths each year — and the majority of those events are predictable from a small set of well-studied risk factors: blood pressure, lipids, glucose, smoking, BMI, physical activity, and family history. The problem isn't a lack of evidence. It's that most people never sit down and combine those factors into a single, honest risk number.

That's exactly what the AI Heart Health Check does. Our model — trained on de-identified public hospital cardiology datasets and validated against the WHO/ISH risk charts, the ASCVD pooled cohort equations, QRISK3 and SCORE2 — takes the same evidence base your doctor uses and turns it into a friendly 5-minute self-check. You get a 0–100 cardiovascular risk score, a clear Low / Moderate / High band, and the specific drivers that pushed your number up or down. No black box, no fear-mongering — just transparent, evidence-aligned cardiovascular risk modelling.

Where the AI adds value beyond a simple calculator is in weighting and personalisation. Traditional risk equations were derived from specific populations (for example, ASCVD from US cohorts, QRISK3 from UK general practice). Our AI cardiovascular model blends multiple frameworks and, where supported by evidence, accounts for emerging modifiers like sleep duration and chronic stress. It also degrades gracefully — if you don't yet know your cholesterol or fasting glucose, you'll still get a useful lifestyle-only score and a clear recommendation on what blood test to ask for at your next GP visit.

Another reason to use it: connection to the rest of your health picture. Your heart score doesn't sit alone. It's saved to your private health tracker alongside your Cancer Risk Check, your Oral Health Check (gum disease is an independent cardiovascular risk factor), your skin scans, and any decoded reports from Report Scan. Even your Selfie Skin Scan is relevant — accelerated skin ageing has been associated with cardiovascular ageing in observational studies. A slow-healing wound logged via Wound Care can be the first hint of undiagnosed type-2 diabetes, which dramatically raises heart risk.

The AI Heart Health Check is built to be repeatable. Run it today, change one variable (quit smoking, lose 5kg, start 150 minutes of brisk walking, begin a statin), and run it again in 3 months. The score moves. That feedback loop is the most evidence-supported behaviour-change mechanism in cardiovascular prevention — and it's exactly what was missing from the wall of static "risk calculators" that already exist online.

Finally, privacy. Your inputs are encrypted, never shared with insurers, never used for advertising, and never used to train the model. The AI only learns from open, de-identified datasets — your individual heart-check answers stay yours, and you can delete them at any moment from your profile.
