What is Hygietest?

Cardiovascular prevention hub

Built from observations made over nearly ten years of medical practice: simple, effective prevention tools exist, but they remain little known. This hub makes them accessible to everyone.

Hygietest is a free cardiovascular prevention website. It brings together 14 screening tests based on medical studies, the same ones used by doctors, to help you estimate your own risk: heart and arteries, blood pressure, diabetes, weight, liver, sleep, tobacco, alcohol, physical activity, burnout, and depression. The site is offered and reviewed by Dr. BARTHELEMY Pierre L., a general practitioner.

  • Free and no sign-up required.
  • Validated tests: SCORE2, FINDRISC, STOP-BANG, AUDIT-C, PHQ-9, among others, with their sources.
  • Your answers stay on your device: no health data is transmitted.
  • A result explained in plain language, with what's reasonable to do next.
  • A guidance tool, not a diagnosis: it doesn't replace a medical consultation.

Why Hygietest?

Hygietest is a health hub dedicated to primary care, centered on prevention. The idea is simple: bring together, in one place, several screening tools accessible to everyone, to help each person better understand their health even before seeing a doctor.

Multiple tools, focused on prevention

The site is gradually offering several screening tools, covering prevention in general and cardiovascular health in particular — two areas where catching an early signal often changes what comes next: sleep, blood pressure, weight, chronic fatigue. Each tool is designed for one-off use, with no account and no tracking over time.

Simple tools, built on serious foundations

Each questionnaire is based on studies from the medical literature — both established and recent — already used in clinical practice. Hygietest's job is to make them accessible: the same method, the same rigor, but language designed to be understood without any medical training.

Free, with no personal data collection

Hygietest is entirely free. No identity is requested, no payment details, no account creation. Calculations happen directly in your browser: nothing is transmitted, nothing is stored.

What Hygietest is not

Hygietest does not replace, and is not intended to replace, a medical consultation — whether as part of a screening approach or when symptoms appear. A reassuring result never rules out the possibility of seeing a doctor: if doubt remains, or if a symptom not covered by the test worries you, talking to a healthcare professional remains the right approach.

Screening is not diagnosing

This is an important distinction, often misunderstood: a screening tool doesn't serve the same purpose as a diagnostic test. Its main value lies in its ability to flag a risk — its sensitivity — rather than to confirm a diagnosis with certainty, which is the role of specificity and further testing carried out by a doctor. A positive result on a screening test is therefore not a diagnosis: it's an indication that it's worth discussing with a healthcare professional, who will decide whether further tests are needed.

Our goal

Hygietest is purely a tool for making screening more accessible, designed as a complement — never a substitute — to the usual care pathway. The ultimate goal is simple: promote screening to support prevention, by increasing the likelihood that people take the step of seeing a doctor when it's useful to do so.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hygietest free?

Yes. Every test is free, with no sign-up required.

Who is behind Hygietest?

The site is offered and reviewed by Dr. BARTHELEMY Pierre L., a general practitioner. The tests weren't invented for the site: they are scores published in medical journals and recommended by health authorities.

Are the tests reliable?

Each tool reuses the questions, formulas, and thresholds from the original publication. Sources are cited on every page. Like any screening test, they estimate a risk: they don't confirm or rule out a disease.

Can a test replace a medical consultation?

No. A low result doesn't rule out seeing a doctor if a symptom worries you, and a high result is a reason to discuss it with your doctor. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

What happens to my answers?

Nothing: calculations happen in your browser. No answer is transmitted to or stored by Hygietest. The site measures its audience anonymously and in aggregate (page views, country, device type), without cookies, via Vercel; your test answers are never included.

Which tests are offered?

Fourteen tests: cardiovascular risk (SCORE2), cardiovascular risk with diabetes (SCORE2-Diabetes), high blood pressure (home blood pressure monitoring), diabetes risk (FINDRISC), overweight and obesity (BMI), fatty liver disease (FLI), liver fibrosis (FIB-4), sleep apnea (STOP-BANG), sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale), nicotine dependence (Fagerström test), alcohol consumption (AUDIT-C), physical activity (IPAQ/GPAQ), burnout (CBI), and depression (PHQ-9).

Which test should I start with?

If you don't have a specific question in mind, start with cardiovascular risk and blood pressure: the two most useful markers in prevention.
