Macpa Screening Device The uBioMacpa or “Macpa” as it is commonly known is an information & educational screening device. It is NOT an FDA approved medical device. The device is very simple to use and non-invasive. The Macpa uses an infrared finger probe to gather a variety of different measurements on the person being screened and then generates an overall Wellness Score, Wellness Type, and other information. The scores that are generated are used to compare the person being screened to averages of men or woman their age. The scores are a great benchmark to let individuals know where they stand, at this point in their lives, when compared to their peers. As a result, they can see if their scores, are "ahead", "average" or "behind" their peers. If a person has scores that are average (50) or below, it becomes a "call to action", and is a great way to initiate much needed change to reverse their score. Wellness Score:The Wellness Score uses a scale that is 0-100. Ideally, a person should test 70 or higher. If a person tests in the mid range (50 being average) there is still some concern because the average American is overweight and one out of every three is dying from heart disease. Any score less than 50 means the person being tested, when compared to their gender and age group, is falling behind on their overall wellness. This can be caused from such things as hereditary issues, lack of exercise, and poor diet etc. Wellness Type:The Wellness Type is signified by a letter and a corresponding target. The ideal is a Type A and a full target of wellness. Every person starts as a Type A, but over time, slowly starts to descend down the scale.
Other Measurements:In addition to the main Wellness Score and Wellness Type measurements, the Macpa also gives other information such as Heart Rate and a Stress Wellness test.
