• Know Your Number?s benefits reach beyond it?s engine- the Know Your Number? participant and Aggregate reports are heads above the competition in communicating disease risk to participants and healthcare professionals.
• In fact, receiving a Know Your Number risk profile has been shown to positively impact behavior even without participation in follow up intervention or medical management.
• Seeing is Believing; "it?s all in the graphs" are words physicians, healthcare professionals, patients and employers have used to describe why Know Your Number works.
• Know Your Number graphically translates an individual?s lab results into a chronic disease risk and risk reduction comparisons they can readily understand.
• In addition, the weighted risk factor information gives participants actionable knowledge and understanding of how changing even just one risk factor can impact their risk.
• Typical comments:
  
  Peggy Raymes, patient, ?Know Your Number was my wake-up call. I keep it on my refrigerator to remind me of what I have to work on. It is a very good program?? ?It helps me keep track of my progress. When I see those graphs going down, it motivates me to do more."
  
  Georganna Simpson, patient, ?Know Your Number?s graphs give me something to think about and enables me to talk to my doctor about my health, to ask questions, to want to know more and do something about it.

Know Your Numbers Reports
Communicating chronic disease risk in a manner that resonates with healthcare practitioners, wellness professionals and individuals is no small feat. Physicians and nurses require clinically-based, disease-specific, individualized information. Wellness professionals need accurate outputs at both the individualized and aggregate levels in order to craft effective intervention programs. And if individuals are to comply with physicians? recommendations, or even enroll on health & wellness programs, they need information that makes sense.

Know Your Number reports were designed to address the needs of all of the different groups involved in the care and prevention of chronic diseases. Using visually compelling, easy-to-interpret graphs, Know Your Number paints a multi-dimensional, clinically-based picture of an individual or a population?s health status. Information regarding absolute chronic disease risk is combined with relative and modifiable risk information. Users, whether they are physicians or employees, are left with a clear roadmap they can follow in order to achieve better health outcomes.
