Choose Heritage Urgent & Primary Care for Your
Biometric Screening
in Wake Forest & Raleigh

Biometric screening is a method of developing a clinical assessment of key health measures and is often done in conjunction with a health risk assessment questionnaire, which gathers information concerning an individual’s health status and lifestyle behaviors. Biometric screenings are typically performed to identify a health condition or increased health risk of developing a health condition, such as heart disease or diabetes. Once this information is gathered, individuals can take proactive steps to either treat their health issue or engage in preventative measures to ensure that the issue does not develop. Additional reasons for performing a biometric screening include:

  • Identify individuals whose health would be improved with health coaching
  • Provide participants with the support they need to make healthy choices
  • Allow for results-based incentive programs using validated data
  • Measure outcomes over time

What to Expect with Biometric Screening

Prior to your biometric screening, you will need to fast for 9-12 hours in order to get accurate results. You may drink plain tea, black coffee, or water during this fasting period.

The biometric screening typically involves a measurement of several physical characteristics and collection of a small blood sample

Physical characteristics that are evaluated include:

  • Blood pressure: Calculate risk for cardiovascular disease
  • Height and weight: Body mass index is calculated to measure for obesity
  • Body fat percentage: Alternative method for measuring obesity
  • Hip: Measurement of abdominal obesity and to calculate waist-to-hip ratio
  • Waist: Measurement of abdominal obesity and to determine risk of diabetes
  • Neck: Determine risk of sleep apnea

The blood sample will be collected by a finger stick or venous blood draw. If the blood sample is collected using a blood draw, the samples are typically sent to a laboratory to allow for additional tests to be performed. If this approach is taken, results are typically provided within 7-10 days. Finger stick samples can be processed onsite and immediate feedback can be given. In addition to providing faster results, the finger stick is also less invasive than the venous blood draw.

Tests that may be used on the blood sample include:

  • Blood glucose: Used to calculate risk of diabetes
  • Lipids (HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, triglycerides): Used to calculate risk of cardiovascular disease

The biometric screening process typically takes around 20 minutes to complete and is often required to be performed annually to remain enrolled in your company’s wellness program.
