Good health is one of life’s greatest gifts, yet many people only seek medical help when symptoms appear. Unfortunately, underlying conditions may have already progressed by the time symptoms develop, which is why proactive health management is essential. Detecting potential health risks early can make a significant difference in preventing serious illnesses and improving long-term health.
At Echelon Health, our mission is to save lives through early detection. Backed by over 30 years of clinical expertise, we have developed some of the most advanced health assessments available today, capable of detecting up to 94% of the primary causes of premature death, giving our clients the best chance at early intervention, and leaving no stone unturned.
Leading the Way in Preventative Health Assessments
Our comprehensive preventative health assessments go far beyond routine check-ups – they are endorsed by world-class medical experts as the most advanced approach available with current medical knowledge and technology. Utilising cutting-edge imaging and diagnostic techniques, our assessments provide a detailed evaluation of your overall health, identifying potential issues before they become critical.

But what happens after your assessment? Understanding your results, knowing the next steps, and taking action based on expert recommendations are just as important as the assessment.
In this article, we explain what to expect after your Echelon health assessment, the follow-up care process and how our expert medical team ensures you receive the best personalised guidance needed to take control of your health.
Prevention is Better Than Cure
At Echelon Health, we firmly believe that prevention is better than cure. Early detection of potential health risks not only increases the chances of successful treatment but also allows individuals to make proactive lifestyle changes to improve their long-term health. Our comprehensive preventive health assessments are designed to provide clarity, eliminate health uncertainties and empower individuals to take charge of their future.
Early Detection Saves Lives
Many serious health conditions, such as cancer and coronary heart disease, develop silently without symptoms. By the time they are detected through conventional means, they may have already progressed to advanced stages, limiting treatment options and outcomes.
The good news is that research consistently supports the life-saving potential of early detection and lifestyle changes. According to the World Health Organization, up to 50% of cancers are now considered preventable, with lifestyle factors and early screening playing a significant role in reducing incidence and improving survival rates. Furthermore, while cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of premature death worldwide, studies show that early intervention and lifestyle modifications can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by up to 80%.
The Best Investment in Your Health
No one wants to be caught off guard by illness, but the reality is that diseases can strike without warning. However, you have the power to take control. Through early detection and proactive health management, you can protect your future, make informed health decisions and live with confidence and peace of mind.
At Echelon Health, we have countless case studies that demonstrate the life-saving impact of our preventative health assessments. If an abnormality is detected, we provide immediate referrals to world-class specialists, ensuring that any necessary treatment is prompt and effective. If no serious concerns are found, we offer practical, evidence-based advice to help clients optimise their health and reduce the risk of disease in the future.
1. Personalised Pre-Assessment
Every assessment begins with a tailored approach to ensure that clients receive the most relevant and beneficial tests. This starts with a detailed medical questionnaire, which captures essential health information, lifestyle factors and family history. Experienced physicians carefully review this information to customise the assessment, ensuring that it aligns with the client’s specific health risks and concerns.
2. Comprehensive Testing
At Echelon Health, we offer some of the most advanced diagnostic tests available, providing a holistic view of an individual’s health. Depending on the chosen assessment package, clients may undergo:
- Blood Tests – Assess over 40 parameters and key biomarkers related to organ function, cholesterol, diabetes risk and other health indicators.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) – Evaluates heart health by measuring electrical activity, and detecting potential arrhythmias or other cardiac concerns.
- CT Scans – High-resolution imaging to assess major organs such as the heart, lungs, and abdomen for early signs of disease.
- MRI Scans – Provides detailed imaging of soft tissues, the brain, and joints, aiding in the early detection of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.
- Ultrasounds – Used for vascular health assessment, abdominal organs, and other soft tissues, identifying potential abnormalities.
3. Comfort and Convenience
At Echelon Health, we prioritise client comfort, ensuring that each assessment is conducted in a discreet, private and stress-free environment. Clients receive:
- A dedicated liaison to guide them through the process.
- A private suite at the Harley Street clinic for a seamless and relaxed experience.

4. Immediate Post-Assessment Steps
The journey to proactive health management doesn’t end when the tests are completed. The post-assessment process is just as critical as the assessments themselves, ensuring that clients receive a thorough understanding of their results and a clear, personalised roadmap for their future health.
5. Review of Findings
Once the assessment is complete, a senior doctor carefully analyses the test results and compiles a comprehensive health report. This detailed document includes:
- A breakdown of all diagnostic findings, highlighting any areas of concern.
- Expert medical insights into potential early warning signs of diseases.
- Clear explanations of how each result impacts overall health and future well-being.
The goal of this process is to present results in a clear, actionable format, empowering clients to make informed decisions about their health.
6. Personal Consultation
After the results have been thoroughly reviewed by up to 7 radiologists who are specialists in their respective fields, clients have a one-on-one consultation with an experienced doctor, either in person at our Harley Street clinic or via a secure virtual meeting. During this session, the doctor will:
- Explain the test results in detail, ensuring full understanding.
- Discuss any identified health concerns and their potential implications.
- Provide personalised recommendations on lifestyle changes, further testing, or specialist referrals if necessary.
This consultation is tailored to each individual, ensuring that no questions go unanswered and that clients leave feeling confident and supported in their next steps.
7. Personalised Follow-Up Care Plan
At Echelon Health, we believe that the value of our comprehensive preventative health assessments extends far beyond the results. A thorough follow-up plan ensures that clients receive the best possible care and guidance, helping them take proactive steps toward long-term health.
8. Specialist Referrals: Access to World-Class Expertise
If any specific health concerns are detected during an assessment, we facilitate prompt referrals to some of the most esteemed specialists and consultants in the medical field.
What sets Echelon Health apart is the calibre of our medical team. All scans and images are reviewed by some of the country’s most esteemed radiologists, drawn from prestigious teaching hospitals, ensuring that every diagnosis is backed by exceptional medical insight.

10. Scheduled Reassessments: Staying One Step Ahead
Preventative health assessments are most effective when conducted regularly. That is why we recommend periodic follow-up assessments to:
- Track health changes over time and compare results to previous assessments.
- Detect any new risks or developments before they become critical health concerns.
- Provide ongoing peace of mind, ensuring clients always have a clear picture of their health status.
The frequency of reassessments depends on each client’s individual health profile, risk factors, and medical history. Our team works closely with clients to recommend the best schedule for their ongoing health monitoring.
