Know what to test
at every age.
Most serious conditions start silently. High blood pressure, early diabetes, high cholesterol — you won’t feel them. Get a personalised screening checklist and know exactly what to ask your doctor for.

Prevention is the only medicine
that actually works
Most serious conditions are fully treatable — if caught early. The problem is that nobody automatically tells you what to test, or when. This checklist closes that gap.
Your risks shift every decade
The tests that matter at 28 are completely different from those at 52. A generic checklist misses the point. Yours is built for your specific age and body.
Most conditions don’t warn you
High blood pressure, high cholesterol, early-stage diabetes, and many cancers can be present for years with no symptoms. You won’t know without testing.
Know what to ask for
GPs don’t always proactively suggest every relevant test unless you ask. This checklist gives you the language to have that conversation with confidence.
8 health categories, filtered to what’s relevant for you
Your checklist only includes what’s clinically appropriate for your age and gender — nothing generic, nothing missing.
Blood & Lab Work
Glucose, lipids, kidney, liver, thyroid, vitamins, inflammation markers.
Cancer Screenings
Mammography, colonoscopy, skin check, oral cancer, PSA & testicular.
Heart & Vascular
Blood pressure, ASCVD risk score, ECG, carotid ultrasound.
Bone & Metabolic
DEXA scan, fracture risk assessment (FRAX).
Eyes, Ears & Dental
Glaucoma, retinal health, hearing baseline, dental cancer check.
Mental Health
PHQ-9 depression screen, GAD-7 anxiety, cognitive check from 60.
Vaccinations
Flu, COVID, Tdap, Shingrix, Pneumococcal — timed to your age group.
Gender-Specific
Women: cervical, breast, perimenopause. Men: prostate, testicular.
A taste of what you’ll receive
Your full checklist includes 30–40 items across all 8 categories, each with a “why it matters” explanation and frequency guide.
| Test / Screening | Why it matters | How often |
|---|---|---|
| Blood glucose / HbA1c | Diabetes and pre-diabetes screening. HbA1c shows average blood sugar over 2–3 months. Risk increases with age. | Every year |
| Lipid panel | Cardiovascular risk assessment. LDL clogs arteries; HDL protects them. Often missed in younger adults. | Every 1–3 years |
| Blood pressure | Hypertension is the biggest modifiable risk factor for stroke and heart attack. Most people have no symptoms. | Every year |
| Vitamin D | Deficiency is extremely common in Ireland. Critical for bone health, immune function, and mood. | Every 2–3 years |
| Skin check (dermatoscopy) | Melanoma is highly treatable when caught early. Risk increases with age and sun exposure history. | Every year |
| Depression screening (PHQ-9) | Depression is widely underdiagnosed. A 5-minute questionnaire with your GP catches what’s easy to miss. | Every year |
