What Chek does for you
Chek is an iPhone app that creates individualized cancer screening schedules using your medical background. After answering a brief set of questions, the app generates test requisitions and sends reminders so you can stay on top of recommended screenings. The service stresses early detection because catching cancer sooner often leads to better treatment outcomes.
How the app works
- Complete a short health questionnaire to provide relevant history.
- Receive tailored test orders and automated reminders for upcoming screenings.
- Manage appointments and screening timelines directly from your phone without needing to schedule a clinic visit for routine requisitions.
Types of screenings available
- Colon cancer screening
- Lung cancer screening
- Breast cancer screening
- Cervical cancer screening
Cost, eligibility and convenience
Chek removes the need for many in-person visits by enabling users to obtain screening requisitions remotely. The app is available at no charge to people covered by Alberta Health Care, with no subscription fees or hidden costs.
Test results and follow-up
All completed screening results are reviewed by a licensed physician. Findings are communicated clearly through the app, along with recommended next steps or referrals when appropriate.
Important limitations
Chek is a tool for organizing and recommending screenings, not a replacement for clinical diagnosis or treatment. If you have symptoms, urgent concerns, or complex medical questions, consult a healthcare professional in person.
