Clinics & hospitals
Risk assessment and goal setting during routine consultations and follow-ups.
For clinicians & health organisations · NCMA
Brain, heart, metabolism. One assessment.
For clinics, labs and health systems. NCMA, the Neuro-Cardio-Metabolic Assessment from Health1st, gives clinicians one view of each patient's neurological, cardiovascular and metabolic risk, and a plan to manage it, inside a routine appointment.
Are you a patient? NCMA is used by healthcare professionals. Ask your doctor about it.
- Neuro: stroke & dementia
- Cardio: heart disease
- Metabolic: type 2 diabetes & kidney disease
01 — The problem
Most strokes and heart attacks start as risks nobody measured.
Brain, heart and metabolic disease share the same modifiable drivers: blood pressure, activity, diet, smoking, sleep, stress. Yet they are usually assessed separately, and in a busy clinic the full neuro-cardio-metabolic picture rarely makes it into the conversation.
0%of deaths worldwide are from non-communicable diseases1
1 in 0adults will have a stroke in their lifetime2
~0%of stroke risk is linked to modifiable factors3
02 — How it works
Four steps. One consultation.
NCMA is a guided workflow that fits the time you already have with the patient, and turns a neuro-cardio-metabolic risk profile into a plan they'll follow.
-
01
Assess
Capture clinical, lifestyle and behavioural data through a structured, guided profile, then generate validated risk estimates across neurological, cardiovascular and metabolic conditions.
-
02
Explain
Turn complex risk patterns into clear priorities. Patients see what's driving their risk and which changes matter most, in plain language.
-
03
Plan
Auto-generate guideline-based recommendations, covering lifestyle and medication, and agree S.M.A.R.T. goals together in the room.
-
04
Track
Follow progress over time, see which interventions are working, and roll results up into program-level reporting.
03 — Platform
Built for everyone in the prevention loop.
- Neuro, cardio and metabolic in one workflow. A full NCMA without extra paperwork.
- Validated estimates. Scientifically validated risk scores, not guesswork.
- Recommendations written for you. Guideline-based advice, auto-generated and phrased for patients.
- Goals that stick. Built-in S.M.A.R.T. goal setting.
- See what works. Measure the effect of each intervention over time.
- A clear risk picture. Brain, heart and metabolic risk, and the factors behind it.
- Tailored actions. Evidence-based recommendations fitted to their life.
- Achievable goals. Small, specific steps instead of vague advice.
- Visible progress. Charts that show risk coming down as habits change.
Patients use NCMA with their clinician, not on their own. If you'd like an assessment, ask your doctor or clinic about it.
- Live population risk. Real-time risk profiling across your patient population.
- Regular reporting. Prevalence and impact reports on a schedule.
- Forecasting. Predict incidence and future demand on services.
- Program ROI. Track how effective prevention activity really is.
- Standardised data. Harmonised datasets collected across 27+ countries.
- Cross-sectional & longitudinal. Risk-factor data over time, not just snapshots.
- Integrates. Designed to connect with EHR systems.

04 — Who it's for
Wherever prevention can happen.
Diagnostic labs
Prevention packages that link test results to personalised risk reports.
Workplace health
Workforce screening with privacy-aware, aggregate insight for employers.
Public health programs
Population-level risk profiling, forecasting and program evaluation.
Schools & community
Outreach screening that reaches people before they become patients.
Research

05 — For organisations
Ready for your clinic, lab or health system.
What decision-makers ask us first, and where we'll go deeper together in the demo.
Fits your systems
Designed to connect with EHR systems. We'll review your current systems and the integration options with you.
Reporting & ROI
Population risk profiling, scheduled prevalence and impact reports, forecasting of future demand, and tracking of how well your prevention programme is working.
Data & privacy
Patient data needs care. We'll go through data hosting, privacy and security arrangements for your region and setting in the demo.
Rollout
Runs inside the consultations you already hold, with no extra appointments. It starts with a 30-minute demo, then we plan deployment around your sites and teams.
NCMA is clinical decision support: it estimates risk and suggests guideline-based prevention. The clinician always makes the final call.
06 — Evidence
Science first. Then software.
NCMA is built on a long-running, peer-reviewed research program in stroke, cardiovascular and metabolic disease prevention, and the work behind it has received several international awards for health innovation.
0+countries contributing standardised data
0+peer-reviewed publications behind the research
0domains assessed together: neuro, cardio and metabolic
NCMA is a clinical decision-support tool. It complements, and never replaces, professional clinical judgement.

09 — FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is NCMA?
NCMA stands for Neuro-Cardio-Metabolic Assessment. It's Health1st's clinical tool for assessing and managing a patient's neurological, cardiovascular and metabolic risk together, in a single guided workflow during a routine consultation.
Who is NCMA for?
Healthcare professionals who see patients for routine care, such as GPs, physicians, nurses and allied health. It's also for the organisations around them: clinics, diagnostic labs, employers, public health programs and researchers.
Will it slow down my consultations?
It's designed to fit the time you already have. The guided workflow replaces manual risk calculation and advice-writing, and generates patient-ready recommendations for you.
Which conditions does it cover?
Three linked domains that share the same modifiable risk factors. Neuro: stroke and dementia. Cardio: heart and cardiovascular disease. Metabolic: type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
Is it a diagnostic tool?
No. NCMA is clinical decision support. It estimates risk and suggests guideline-based prevention, and the clinician always makes the final call.
Can it connect to our EHR?
The platform is designed for EHR integration. We'll go through your systems and the options during the demo.
What happens on the demo call?
A 30-minute walkthrough of a live assessment, the patient view and reporting, tailored to your setting, plus time for your questions about deployment and pricing.
