Abstract

When a comprehensive health check-up is repeated for the purpose of health control, the individual clinical data should be evaluated carefully by a proper normal range, which must be specific to each subject, if early detection of disease is a goal.

The Perfect Liberty Health Control System, a health plan run on a membership basis, has been giving its periodic multi-phasic health tests to all of the 24000+ members biannually since 1970.

Studies concerning health parameter dynamics have been made on the data obtained and these are important to the new challenging field of clinical laboratory examinations.

Other helpful aspects of this punctually repeated AMHTS (Automated Multi-phasic Health Testing) on a lifetime membership basis are also presented, such as cancer detection accuracy, protection from unnecessary X-ray exposure during examinations and a new form of physician's examination supported by current laboratory-data preview.

Lorsqu'un bilan de santé complet est effectué à plusieurs reprises dans un but de prévention, les données médicales et personnelles doivent ětre étudiées avec précaution graˇce à des distributions et des normales personnalisées. Cette précaution est indispensable pour la détection précoce des maladies.

Les tests multiphasiques et bi-annuels auxquels precéde le centre de bilans de sante du Perfect Liberty concernent 24000 personnes, et cela depuis 1970. Des études portant sur l'évolution des paramètres cliniques et biologiques ont été réalisées. Elles montrent que les examens de laboratoire sont porteurs de perspectives tres interéssantes. D'autres aspects sont tout aussi intéressants, telle que la précision aved laquelle les cancers peuvent ětre détectés, la radio-protection et une nouvelle façon, pour les médecins, d'examiner leurs malades, graˇce à la consultation préalable des résultats de laboratoire.
