The Netherlands' healthcare system faces growing pressures on quality, accessibility, and affordability. To address this, medical specialists at Bronovo Hospital in The Hague created the Health Risk Test—because prevention is better than cure.
Rising demand for care
Healthcare needs are surging annually, driven by an aging population. People are living longer, increasing demands on services as age-related diseases like dementia rise by up to 38% by 2025.
Chronic conditions such as diabetes and kidney disease are also climbing, often linked to poor lifestyle habits like unhealthy diets and inactivity. Obesity is a growing concern too.
Meanwhile, advanced treatments mean doctors can tackle more diseases, further straining resources.
Staff shortages intensify the challenge
Dutch healthcare grapples with personnel deficits as the population ages and fewer young workers enter the field.
The solution: prevention
Keeping healthcare accessible and affordable requires focusing on prevention. Early detection cuts costs and empowers individuals to act before conditions worsen.
The Health Risk Test
Developed by Bronovo Hospital's expert medical team, this scientifically validated online tool is free for everyone. It evaluates risks for 22 common, treatable conditions—like cardiovascular disease and hypertension—and six cancers, including lung and breast cancer. By identifying risks early, it supports proactive health improvements across the Netherlands.
