Service concept

PIA code - A lifestyle for a long life. PIA stands for PREVENT, IDENTIFY and ACT. The code focuses on educating citizens aged 35 to 45 of rural Catalonia on how to prevent cardiovascular chronic diseases, identify its symptoms, and act in case of emergency. It will reach the people through the PIA code trailer that visits local town markets monthly, offering activities, lifestyle advice, while giving them a basic heart check-up. With this strategy we will improve the health of the community by monitoring our people's cardiovascular conditions and habits.
