PreventionXpress // Rapid Health Screening System
Welcome
PreventionXpress (pXs) works with private, public and not for profit sectors to improve the health and wellbeing of all participants.
Established in 2002, pXs was one of the first companies in Australia to pioneer rapid, convenient and confidential health screening processes in a range of workplace settings. pXs has delivered health screening to over 10,000 participants since its inception.Each health screen takes about 10 minutes with professional feedback and advice provided immediately, based on an individual's results.
For those participants with high-risk results, pXs can arrange follow up communications by suitably qualified professionals.
By participating in health screens, participants learn more about their risk of preventable diseases such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Additionally, the screens highlight factors that impact personal health such as alcohol, tobacco, effective sleep patterns, fatigue and general state of mind and wellbeing.
pXs uses the latest digital and wireless technology to deliver interactive screening. iPads, kiosks or desk top computers interface with our secure website to allow flexibility to screen employees in any workplace setting nationally.
pXs is proud of its partnership with the Austin Hospital’s Institute of Breathing and Sleep (IBAS) who have designed the core of our heath screen application and regularly review the latest in worldwide research to constantly improve and refine our screening application.

IBAS and PreventionXpress plan to offer basic health screening for visitors and staff at Austin Health. The first screening session was offered at the Austin campus in July. Anthony Carbines, State Government member for Ivanhoe, was one visitor who took advantage of the opportunity to check his risk levels for sleep disorders and lung disease as well as blood pressure, diabetes and other age and gender related conditions.
The screening takes around 10 minutes and is conducted by a combination of a nurse and a confidential computer portal. Each person receives their results in a simple yet detailed report to assist them with following up results with their GP.
Anthony Carbines is pictured here with nurse Ann DiStefano who conducted the screening.
