Your Arteries Tell The Real Story
Not your arm
CardiAction Screening Australia (CSA) offers a scientifically validated assessment of your heart and artery health, utilising advanced central blood pressure analysis, pulse wave velocity, and the CardiAction Risk Assessment Platform.
This isn’t a blood pressure check. It’s a non-invasive screening that gives you personalised insight into your cardiovascular risk including the stiffness of your arteries, the pressure your heart actually experiences, and whether your heart muscle is getting enough oxygen between beats.
You’ll walk away with a clear, science-backed view of your heart and artery health, and what you can do to improve it.
Problems With Traditional BP Readings
According to the Blood Pressure Toolkit, developed by leading cardiovascular researchers at The University of Sydney, routine blood pressure readings in clinical practice are frequently inaccurate and misleading.
The toolkit explains that many GP settings suffer from:
Why Pharmacies Are a Better Place for Risk Screening
Pharmacies offer a more relaxed and familiar environment than medical clinics. People are at ease, which improves the reliability of the readings.
Studies have consistently shown that out-of-clinic BP measurements are more representative of a person’s true blood pressure than those taken in a clinical setting.
This alone makes pharmacy-based screening a smarter choice.
CardiAction Reveals What a Standard BP Reading Can't
Eliminating the need for a blood test allows for patients to regularly review their CVD risk score progress against their targets with their HCP.
Our NZ trial indicates that when combined with scientifically backed interventions via our app, it can be highly motivating over a longer period, helping to deliver true long term changes.
The CardiAction Platform
A New Risk Assessment Model
The BP+ Machine Clinical-Grade Telemetry That Goes Beyond the Arm
CSA screenings use the Uscom BP+ device, approved by both the TGA and FDA.
Even people with normal arm-cuff BP can have high central pressure. That’s why our approach captures what traditional measurements miss.
It reflects the pressure your heart and brain actually experience
Augmented pressure, central pulse pressure and other pulse wave reflection data, offering a window into vascular health
Data is instantly interpreted through our secure platform.
Professionally Delivered. Scientifically Verified.
CSA screeners are trained to follow best-practice measurement protocols; one of the 10 key priority areas of action recently identified by the National Hypertension Taskforce to reduce cardiovascular disease.
Every reading is taken using validated equipment, with patients seated and rested, following the same principles outlined in the Blood Pressure Toolkit. The results are uploaded instantly and analysed by the CardiAction platform.
We are not providing a diagnosis. We are delivering a clinically supported cardiovascular risk assessment, designed to empower people to take action and seek medical advice if needed.
Helping Australia
Catch Up
Despite decades of clinic-based screening, only 32 percent of Australians with hypertension have their condition under control. That’s less than half the control rate of Canada.
In response, the National Hypertension Taskforce of Australia has called for innovative community-based strategies to increase awareness and improve early detection. CSA supports this vision by making cardiovascular risk screening:
Convenient
Accurate
Accessible
Insightful
This is not about measuring standard blood pressure. It is about understanding your artery and heart health risk and taking control of your health outcomes before it is too late.
The Right Place. The Right Technology. The Right Model.
Blood pressure readings taken in pharmacies are more accurate and more accessible than those in GP clinics. That’s why leading health experts are now advocating for community-based screening as a national priority.
But CSA is not a traditional pharmacy blood pressure check. We provide a clinical-grade cardiovascular risk assessment, using validated technology, scientifically backed algorithms, and a trusted screening process, monitoring both heart AND arterial health.
If you are aged 40 or over and want to stay ahead of your risk for stroke or heart attack, book your CSA screening today at a participating pharmacy. You will leave with more than just a number. You will leave with insight.
