If you are a Discovery Vitality member, you may have seen the Vitality Health Check in your Discovery app. It is a basic health screening. This guide explains what it involves and how to book one at Dr Omar's rooms in Rondebosch.
What is the Vitality Health Check?
The Vitality Health Check is a screening for eligible Discovery Vitality members. A healthcare professional measures a set of health indicators and the results are recorded on your Vitality profile. Dr Omar is a Discovery Vitality Health Check provider at Riverside Mall, Rondebosch.
What is usually measured?
Discovery sets the list of measurements and can change it. Checks commonly include:
- Blood pressure
- Height, weight and waist measurement
- Cholesterol, using a finger-prick test
- Blood glucose, using a finger-prick test
What happens to your results?
Your results are recorded on your Vitality profile, and Dr Omar explains what they mean. A screening check is not a diagnosis. If a result is outside the expected range, you may need further tests or a separate consultation to look at it properly.
Who can have a check?
The check is for eligible Vitality members. Discovery decides how often a check counts and how it affects your Vitality status, so confirm the details in the Discovery app or with Discovery directly.
How to book
- Check your eligibility in the Discovery app.
- Message the rooms on WhatsApp with your plan name and a preferred day.
