Stroke News Help in keeping your New Year's resolutions now just a click away New One of A Kind personalized health management program from the American Heart Association The American Heart Association has developed a Web-based heart attach and stroke prevention program that uses individually tailored messages to help users change behaviors that put them at risk. Free unlimited access to the new One of a Kind program is available through a confidential, secure Web site and four simple steps: 1. Log on to www.onelife.americanheart.org. 2. Register as a user and fill out a confidential heath/behavior assessment. 3. Learn what puts you at risk and get support to make changes to reduce your risk. 4. Interact with the program as often as you like. The program focuses on risk factors and behaviors people can change, treat or modify - like controlling high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol, quitting smoking, losing weight, increasing physical activity and taking medication properly. It analyzes users' readiness to make lifestyle changes and identifies motivations and barriers to making them. Program information is instantly tailored to each participant based on his/her lifestyle, personal preferences and risk factors. Users receive motivational e-mails and unlimited access to their own personalized Web site with customized online monthly newsletters, low-fat recipes and the latest medical developments related to heart disease and stroke. The individually tailored messages support users through every step of changing their habits and lowering their risk. One Of A Kind is appropriate for all adults: those at low risk for heart attack and stroke, those "at risk," and those who have previously had a heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular-related event. People who do not have Internet access at home may want to try their public library. Free, private e-mail (needed for the program) is available at a variety of sites including www.altavista.com and www.hotmail.com. The program is supported in part by CareThere, which helps family caregivers fulfill their responsibilities while enhancing and improving their own lives. Its Web site (www.CareThere.com) helps empower caregivers by providing easy access to locally delivered healthcare products and services. |
