Summary

More than 15 years ago, we began researching and developing strategies and tools to address the sustained increase in the number of people with cardiovascular risk factors.

As a result of this initial stage, we designed a program divided into three phases.

The first phase aims to raise awareness among the general population. One of the most relevant causes explaining the increased prevalence of people with cardiovascular risk factors is the lack of awareness of their relationship with cardiovascular disease.

The second phase consists of offering practical tools to educate and guide those who begin the journey toward adopting healthy habits. Among the strategies we have developed, intensive follow-up stands out as a means to achieve better adherence to the process.

Finally, the program’s dissemination phase consists of training new agents of change. Individuals who achieve positive results often become role models in their environment, influencing others through their testimony and the new knowledge acquired through the program.

The program is currently in an evolution stage thanks to the incorporation of new technologies such as mobile devices and tracking apps, which increase the likelihood of achieving the proposed objectives.
