The approach combines structured questionnaires or interviews, biometric measurements, and, where appropriate, predictive models or risk scores. Risk screenings can be disease-specific, such as cardiovascular risk screening using validated risk scores, diabetes risk assessment, or cancer risk evaluation, or they can be multi-domain, integrating lifestyle, genetic, and environmental factors. Tools are typically administered in primary care settings, occupational health programs, or community screening campaigns, and results are used to stratify individuals into risk categories and trigger targeted follow-up, such as lifestyle counseling, laboratory testing, or referral to specialists.
The development of RisikoScreenings reflects advances in epidemiology, biostatistics, and digital health. Risk models are usually
Limitations include variable predictive accuracy across populations, potential for false positives and negatives, and ethical concerns
