HEALTHYES!™ PROVIDES EASY, AFFORDABLE, NON-INVASIVE MOBILE MEDICAL SCREENINGS
Ultrasound images and detailed measurements reviewed and returned to clients in just 4 days
Austin, TX – HealthYes!™ is a premier provider of mobile medical screenings. The company provides valuable
information about personal health through the use of advanced screening technology, including Color Doppler ultrasound,
automated oscillometry, and bone densitometry. These tests can help detect the risk of “silent killers” such as stroke, heart
attack, and osteoporosis long before any symptoms are present.
HealthYes! screenings are easy, affordable and non-invasive. The tests are fast and accurate – results are
available in just 4 days, with all ultrasound images and detailed measurements being provided back in the client’s results
packet. HealthYes! is the only screening company which provides all the details back to the client, ensuring that the client,
and client’s physician, gets the complete story from the clients screening.
“These preventive screenings are one of the most important steps that we as individuals can take to educate and empower
ourselves where our own health is concerned,” said Craig Lindley, Founder of HealthYes! “They provide a critical baseline
against which doctors can measure future readings, adjusting recommendations and treatment accordingly. What distinguishes
HealthYes! is the detailed information we give our clients.”
HealthYes! skilled medical technicians use state-of-the-art, FDA-approved technology to generate actual ultrasound
images and specific numeric data. Once screenings are complete, all images and readings are sent to board-certified
radiologists, who review the information and provide expert analyses.
“The process is painless, the technology is accurate, and all images and information are provided in an easy to understand
packet,” said Lindley. “And, perhaps most importantly, results have been proven to help identify underlying disease in
seemingly healthy people.”
HealthYes! screening events are held throughout local communities. Screenings include:
- Stroke Screening – Multiple ultrasound images of the right and left carotid arteries can help
identify conditions affecting blood flow, blood flow velocities, and plaque build-up. Eighty-seven percent of all
strokes occur due to clots that block arteries in the brain. Carotid Artery Disease is a leading cause of these
clots.
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening – Multiple ultrasound images and measurements at various
points along the aorta, the largest blood vessel carrying oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body, indicate any
abnormal enlargement. An aortic aneurysm can occur anywhere along the aorta, but a large majority of these types of
aneurysms occur in the belly area. An undetected and untreated AAA can have lethal consequences.
- Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Screening – An oscillometry machine detects plaque build-up which
occurs as the arteries in the legs narrow and harden (atherosclerosis). This serious disease can restrict blood flow
and cause pain when walking. One in every 20 Americans over the age of 50 has PAD, a condition that raises the risk for
heart attack and stroke.
- Arterial Stiffness Index (ASI) Screening – Also measured through automated oscillometry, ASI
screening results provide specific data regarding arterial hardening, missed heartbeats, arrhythmias, blood pressure,
and pulse patterns. ASI has been shown in studies to correlate with coronary artery disease. Currently, HealthYes! is
the only local screening company offering the Arterial Stiffness Index.
- Osteoporosis Screening – A bone densitometer provides a Bone Mineral Density (BMD) measurement,
expressed as a “T Score,” as well as fracture risk and skeletal strength. Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones
become fragile and more likely to break. If undetected and left untreated, osteoporosis will typically progress,
painlessly, until a bone breaks – often in the hip, spine, or wrist. Statistically, life-expectancy decreases
dramatically following such a break. While osteoporosis is most commonly associated with women, it is estimated that
one in every four men over 50 will have an osteoporosis related fracture in their lifetime.
“We strongly encourage people to take proactive, personal responsibility for their health by undergoing these preventive
screenings, which can provide potentially life-saving information,” said Lindley. “As Benjamin Franklin once put it, ‘an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.’”
