The origin of the name Hygietest, a brief history of preventive medicine, the five levels of prevention, and why preventive medicine remains underfunded.
Read →In-depth articles about our approach — not specific to any one tool (each tool has its own dedicated blog).
Hygietest brings together 14 free screening tests, based on medical studies, to help you estimate your own risk across seven broad areas of cardiovascular prevention: the heart and arteries, diabetes and weight, the liver, sleep, tobacco and alcohol, mental health, and physical activity. This general blog gathers cross-cutting articles about the site's approach — the ones that aren't specific to a single tool — while each tool has its own dedicated blog, accessible from its own page. The articles are reviewed by Dr BARTHELEMY Pierre L., a general practitioner, and are sourced: each one links to the scientific publications and health authorities (French, American, and the World Health Organization) it relies on, with clickable links. Part of the writing and the English translation is done with the help of artificial intelligence tools, but everything is checked by the doctor before publication.
