Featured Expo Screenings

Brigham and Women's Hospital: Blood Pressure Screening

10:00AM to 3:00PM Hall B Booth 901
Blood pressure is the measure of the force the blood exerts on artery walls when the heart contracts (systolic) and relaxes (diastolic). The higher your blood pressure, the greater your risk for certain chronic diseases, such as heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, eye damage, and hardening of the arteries (Atherosclerosis).

Brigham and Women's Hospital: Body Mass Index (BMI) Analysis

10:00AM to 2:00PM Hall B Booth 901
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of an adult's weight in relation to his or her height.  Overweight and obesity are primary risk factors for many chronic health conditions, including hypertension, high cholesterol, Type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, gallbladder dysfunction, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea and respiratory problems.

Brigham and Women's Hospital: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Screening

Hall B Booth 901
COPD is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe, mainly caused by cigarette smoking. COPD causes coughing that produces large amounts of mucus, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and other symptoms. Two types of lung functioning tests, spirometry and pulse oximetry, will be available in the exhibit to help determine your risks.
