Treaters and patients must now aim for optimal control, not just ‘better than before’. Optimal control should include minimal impact of HAE on quality of life.

myHAEcheckup.ca will allow patients to better assess their level of control, including any impact of HAE on their life between attacks. This information can then be used during meetings with their physicians to better assess control and discuss optimizing care.

HAE Canada’s goal is to help create a better life for patients living with HAE. In order to do so, patients must first understand how HAE impacts their life, not only during an attack, but between attacks. Takeda's online resources can be beneficial in assessing a patient's true level of HAE control; and will empower patients to take charge of their life.
