EDDIE - Colon: Your Personal Colorectal Cancer Guide

Colorectal cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in the United States — yet it is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers when caught early. The challenge? Millions of Americans don't know their risk, don't know they qualify for screening, and can't get clear answers between doctor visits. EDDIE - Colon changes that.

Developed by a surgical oncologist and powered by Microsoft AI, EDDIE - Colon puts expert-level colorectal cancer education and risk assessment in your pocket — free, private, and available anytime, anywhere.

ARE YOU DUE FOR COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENING?:

Major reputable cancer agencies now recommend colorectal cancer screening starting at age 45 for average-risk adults. African Americans face higher risk and are especially encouraged to start screening at 45.

EDDIE - Colon helps you understand your eligibility and options.

Screening options include:

Colonoscopy every 10 years (gold standard) Cologuard stool DNA test every 1-3 years FIT stool blood test every year CT colonography every 5 years

Our comprehensive 4-section risk assessment evaluates your complete colorectal cancer risk profile:

Personal demographics including age, sex, and race/ethnicity Family history of colorectal cancer or polyps Personal history of polyps, IBD, Crohn's disease, or hereditary syndromes Lifestyle factors including diet, exercise, smoking, alcohol, and weight Current symptoms including rectal bleeding, bowel changes, and unexplained weight loss
