Preventiometer, a Novel Wellness Assessment Device, Used With Healthy Volunteers: A Phase 2 Study.

Background: We previously reported on a pilot study to assess the incorporation of a novel wellness assessment device, the Preventiometer (iPEx5 GmbH, Greifswald, Germany), into an academic medical practice. The present follow-up study expands on those data and evaluates the acceptability of the assessment process in a larger sample population.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate participant satisfaction with the Preventiometer wellness assessment.
Methods: A total of 60 healthy volunteers participated. Each participant underwent a comprehensive wellness assessment with the Preventiometer and received data from more than 30 diagnostic tests. A 32-question survey (with a numeric rating scale from 0 to 10) was used to rate the wellness assessment tests and participants' impressions of the wellness assessment.
Results: Each assessment had a significantly higher rating than 7 ( P < .001), and the majority of participants agreed or strongly agreed that they were satisfied (98.3%), and they strongly agreed that they were engaged the entire time (93.2%), and liked the instant test results feature of the Preventiometer device (93.2%).
Conclusion: This study confirms findings from our previous pilot study regarding the feasibility of the Preventiometer as a wellness assessment tool. The study further demonstrated that 98% of participants were satisfied with the assessment and that all of them would recommend it to others.
Competing Interests: Declaration of conflicting interests: Vilua Healthcare and the University Medicine Greifswald cooperate on a mobile health promotion project with the Preventiometer. Markus Krüger is employed at the University Medicine Greifswald with partial financial support from Vilua. The other authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest.
