Description
Based on a comprehensive interview and implemented in primary healthcare facilities. Patients aged 20-49 years have preventive balance tests performed once every 5 years, while in the case of patients >49, they are performed once every 3 years. The basis for the tests is to be a questionnaire, and based on the answers, the patient receives a set of diagnostic tests. After the tests, the patient meets with the medical personnel and discusses the results. They receive recommendations regarding: a healthy lifestyle, diet and physical activity, preventive examinations, individual recommendations resulting from identified risk factors, a schedule of recommended vaccinations, other recommended health interventions (Individual Health Plan). All test results are reported to the individual patient account (IKP application) and - with the patient"s consent - other physicians have access to them. For people 60+, an additional test for the diagnosis of dementia are also available. Available laboratory tests in the program: basic and extended scope, including blood count, glucose, creatinine, lipid profile, TSH, liver enzymes, total PSA, anti-HCV, lipoprotein(a).Program launch date

Not available. By Nov. 2024 - 4.77 million people received an e-referral and 3.9 million were tested as part of the program, including 2.6 million patients up to 65 years of age (20% of this age group), 1.3 million patients ≥65 years of age (17% of people in this age group), 759 thousand people were re-tested. Till mid-October 2025, 1.5 million Poles have filled out the questionnaires under the "My Health" program. More than half of the program participants are women aged 20–59, while men over 60 are the least likely to use the screeningsLimitations / comments
The previous version of the program -- Prevention 40+ was limited as a patient was left with the test results without any further consultation; moreover, only small proportion of patients took part in the program finally (about 20%) as a result of lack of suitable education campaigns. "My Health" seems to learn from the limitations of the previous version but again if one would like to have this program successful, we need to extensively educate to encourage people, as early as at the age of 20+ to check and invest in their health.
