Spår: Open Stage

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a serious inherited disease that causes high cholesterol from childhood and increases the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke. Unfortunately, many people with FH go undiagnosed.


FHabian is a digiphysical tool developed in Sweden to screen families for FH. The tool, developed by BCB Medical, makes it easy to invite all relatives of an index patient to be screened for FH. It enables seamless screening across healthcare regions, an overview of the number of people invited to screening and a number of people getting tested. It also provides an overview of the results and follow-up and communicates results of testing. FHabian has been in operation in the Stockholm Region since February 2021 and will soon expand to other regions in Sweden. With this innovative tool, it is hoped that more people with FH can be diagnosed and treated early, reducing their risk of serious cardiovascular events.
