FAQs

Q: Does this tell me which screenings I need?
A: No. It lists topics to raise with your doctor. Which screenings suit you, and how often, depends on your age, sex, health and family history, so your doctor decides.
Q: Does it ask for my age?
A: No. There is no age input. Everyone starts with the same list, and you can add your own items and remove the ones you do not need.
Q: Are my ticks saved?
A: Yes. Ticks are saved in your browser on this device and are not sent anywhere. They do not follow you to another device or browser.
