The Ministry of Health has developed the HealthyBC Self-Assessment Tool in collaboration with Thrive Health. You are invited to use the tool if you are aged 50 or older. The tool is a survey designed to help you:
- Gain awareness of your current health status
- Ensure your independence and control over your health and wellness
- Get access to resources to support your health as you age
About the survey
This survey is designed to assess various aspects of your wellbeing. It has 60 multiple-choice questions, and will take you about 30 minutes to complete. It will ask you questions about a range of topics, including:
- B.C. health system navigation and healthcare access
- Emotional and physical wellbeing
- Personal meaning and connection
- Healthy lifestyle
- Social wellbeing
- Home and safety
- Cognitive wellbeing and independence
- Emergency preparedness
To use the tool, you'll need to create a Thrive Health account. You will do this as part of the survey. This allows you to save your results and access your personalized recommendations at any time.
Your survey results
After completing the questions, you'll receive an immediate personalized summary report.
Based on your results, we may recommend that you contact a health care provider. You may also get recommendations for health and wellness resources and support. This survey is not a clinical diagnosis tool, and your responses won't be reviewed by a health care professional.
