Development of a computer-based tool to obtain a family health history in Vietnam

<b>Background:</b> Family health history (FHH) is central to human genomic profiling construction; however, there is no protocol for documenting FHH in a pedigree format in Vietnam. <b>Aim:</b> A “Gia Su Suc Khoe” (GSSK) tool was developed to create a user-friendly interface for collecting FHH and offering diseases' risk assessment. <b>Results:</b> A tool was described (https://giasusuckhoe.vn/) with good feedback from genetic counselors and family-medicine doctors. Among 20 surveys, 100% of respondents noted that the report accurately reflected their FHH and were satisfied with the tool's display. About 74% of familial conditions were covered. Overall, all constructive feedback has been adapted into the updated version. <b>Conclusion:</b> Gia Su Suc Khoe has the potential to significantly improve healthcare delivery and outcomes in Vietnam. Family health history (FHH) has been a primordial, non-expensive, and non-invasive risk stratification tool to inform prevention and screening strategies, especially for common genetic conditions. A new program developed in Vietnam namely Gia Su Suc Khoe (GSSK) not only utilizes a pedigree format to capture FHH but also performs risk assessments for various preventable and prevalent genetic disorders. GSSK is a self-administered, patient-centric and computerized program for obtaining Vietnamese FHH (https://giasusuckhoe.vn/), which receives positive feedback from genetic counselors and family-medicine doctors on its effectiveness, precision, and practical implications. GSSK becomes the pioneering program to help obtain FHH in Vietnam, which is believed to address several barriers, ensure high-quality information and leverage it for risk assessment.

背景：家族健康史（Family Health History, FHH）是人类基因组图谱构建的核心环节，但目前越南尚未出台采用系谱格式记录FHH的标准化规范。目标：研发了一款名为「Gia Su Suc Khoe（GSSK）」的工具，旨在搭建易用的交互界面，用于采集家族健康史并开展疾病风险评估。结果：本文介绍了一款上线于https://giasusuckhoe.vn/的工具，该工具获得了遗传咨询师与家庭医学医师的良好反馈。在20份有效问卷中，所有受访者均表示工具生成的报告准确还原了自身的家族健康史，并对工具的展示界面表示满意；约74%的家族疾病相关情况可被该工具覆盖。所有建设性反馈均已整合至工具的更新版本中。结论：「Gia Su Suc Khoe」有望显著提升越南的医疗服务水平与诊疗结局。家族健康史（FHH）是一种基础性、低成本且无创的风险分层工具，可为疾病预防与筛查策略提供关键依据，尤其适用于常见遗传疾病的防控。越南自主研发的全新工具「Gia Su Suc Khoe（GSSK）」不仅采用系谱格式采集家族健康史，还可针对多种可预防、高流行的遗传疾病开展风险评估。GSSK是一款以患者为中心、可自主操作的电子化工具，用于采集越南人群的家族健康史（访问地址：https://giasusuckhoe.vn/），其有效性、准确性与实用价值获得了遗传咨询师与家庭医学医师的积极评价。GSSK是越南首个用于采集家族健康史的开创性工具，据信可破解多项现存障碍，保障采集信息的高质量，并将其有效应用于风险评估工作。
