How Checkup picks your checkups

Discover Help, Privacy and About Checkup

From each person's age, sex and situation, using published guidelines, and always editable.

Nobody remembers every checkup that applies to them, let alone to their children and parents. So Checkup recommends them, and shows you why.

From the profile

Setting up a person takes a birth date, their sex if you want to share it, and anything that applies: a pregnancy, allergies, asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, a heart condition. Each one visibly changes the plan. A 35-year-old gets different checkups from a 6-month-old or a 70-year-old, and saying “diabetes” adds the checks that go with it.

If you’d rather not say someone’s sex, Checkup shows every screening instead of guessing.

From guidelines, not opinions

Every recommendation comes from a published guideline, mostly Malaysia’s Ministry of Health, and shows its source. Checkup labels them “commonly recommended”, because that’s what they are: what the guidelines say for most people in that situation.

When there’s no guideline interval, Checkup doesn’t invent one. Those checkups say “as your doctor advises”. Where recommendations come from lists every one with its guideline.

Yours to change

Switch off anything you don’t want during setup, change how often something repeats, or add a custom checkup of your own. Your doctor knows you; when their advice differs, follow it and set the interval to match.

It changes as people do

Birthdays bring new recommendations. When one applies, Home says so and you can add it in a tap.
