Yes, and they already save millions of lives every day. In The Checklist Manifesto, Atul Gawande demonstrates how simple checklists dramatically improve efficiency, accuracy, and outcomes in complex fields like medicine, aviation, and construction by reducing human error and enhancing teamwork.
Checklists could add years to your life, too. Yet, despite their proven power, no comprehensive checklist for personal health screenings exists—until now. We've created a personalized, straightforward checklist for screenings. It's curious that something so essential didn't exist before.
Perhaps no one thought of it, or no institution had the right incentives to create it. Maybe there was doubt that enough people would use it. Whatever the reason, it wasn't available—until we built one.
Simply creating an app and putting it on the app store isn't enough to save lives. With millions of apps out there, promotion and education are key. Our mission isn't just to build an app, but to extend life expectancy.
Checklists consolidate essential knowledge into simple, actionable steps, ensuring critical actions aren't missed. As Gawande shows, checklists improve outcomes in fields from surgery to aviation to construction. Even highly trained professionals, who perform the same tasks daily, benefit from them. If they help specialists avoid mistakes, they can certainly help you stay on top of periodic health screenings.
Many people assume their doctors or health systems are keeping them fully informed about screenings. While your Primary Care Physician (PCP) may remind you about key tests during your annual physical, like mammograms or colonoscopies, you might still be missing important screenings.
Even if you're diligent about checkups, you might only be getting 50-80% of the potential life-extending benefits of regular screenings. That's why we developed this personalized, comprehensive checklist—to help ensure you don't miss critical health checks.
Find out why relying solely on your doctor isn't enough, and discover how you can take control of your health with our personalized checklist.
