Encourage patients to take charge of their own care, and use your resources more efficiently
Duodecim
STAR®
Duodecim STAR is a health check and coaching service that allows users to independently assess their health risks. The check results guide users toward concrete lifestyle changes, and the coaching programs available support them in adopting a new, healthier lifestyle.
For health care professionals, Duodecim STAR offers an effective way to guide patients to conduct health checks independently. Ready-made results save professionals time, standardize processes, and streamline care practices.
STAR can be used to identify indicators that influence the HYTE factor and direct HYTE funding to different areas. STAR training courses provide the necessary tools for this purpose.
This is how Duodecim STAR® helps professionals and organizations:
Preventive approach
STAR helps prevent lifestyle diseases in large population groups. For example, statutory health checks can be carried out as STAR checks.
Prioritization of resources
When patients can themselves identify risks related to their health and tackle lifestyle diseases with the support of STAR health checks and coaching, professionals and organizations can target their resources more effectively.
Process optimization
The proactive STAR health check ensures that healthy patients do not need to visit the clinic unnecessarily. It also ensures that patients arriving at the clinic are already more aware of their situation – and professionals also have a clear understanding of their needs through STAR. This makes the actual appointment as efficient as possible.
Effectiveness of treatment
Consistent and repetitive STAR exercises and coaching help patients genuinely solve their lifestyle-related health challenges. When, for example, weight management or sleep-related changes are not left to a single doctor’s appointment, the impact is ultimately more effective for the individual and society.
HYTE factor
STAR can be used to identify indicators that contribute to the HYTE coefficient and to direct HYTE funding to specific areas. STAR training provides the necessary interventions for this purpose.

Duodecim STAR® – to support lifestyle changes
Digital tools for lifestyle changes
Digital health check
The health check allows users to assess their lifestyle and mental well-being. Based on the information provided by users about their lifestyle, the service provides an assessment of the risk of developing major cardiovascular diseases and an average life expectancy.
The health check also provides a summary of lifestyle factors that affect health and ways to improve one’s well-being. The service’s calculation formulas are based on extensive Finnish research data and large international studies. The service is available in Finnish, Swedish, and English.
Health coaching
Independently implemented health coaching supports lifestyle changes and includes information, tips, and exercises to support well-being, helping users make lasting changes to their daily lives. Weekly emails encourage and guide users toward a better life.
Coaching is available in key areas of health and well-being, such as weight management, exercise, healthy nutrition, sleep, mental well-being, relationship, and smoking cessation.
