Health Screening Checkup Guide

General information from official health guidelines. Not medical advice, it doesn't diagnose anything, and it isn't affiliated with any government or health authority.

Ask most people which checkups they're due for and you get a shrug. The rules are out there, on government pages written for doctors.

The app asks how old you are, whether you have breasts, a cervix or a prostate, if you've ever smoked, and whether a relative had cancer. From that it shows the checks official guidelines recommend for people like you and when each one is due. Then it walks you through getting one. If you don't have a family doctor it tells you where to go instead, and there's a line you can read out when you call. It also tells you what the test feels like, which nobody ever explains.

It works in any country with international guidance, mostly WHO and IARC, plus a few other bodies where those two don't give ages. Quebec gets the deep version with the province's own programs, phone numbers, Clic Santé and the GAP.

Every rule links to where it came from, so you can show it to a doctor or nurse. Anything about your own case is a conversation with a health professional. If you have symptoms, get them checked. These checks are meant for people who feel fine.

The how-to steps were drafted with AI help and no doctor has reviewed them yet. The rules are quoted straight from the sources at the bottom.

It's free and there are no ads. You don't make an account either. Your answers stay on your phone, and all that gets sent out is anonymous usage counts. Privacy policy: https://checkups.handled.tools/privacy
