About ScreenAdvise

ScreenAdvise — what it is, and how it can help

💬

What is ScreenAdvise?

ScreenAdvise is an AI-powered chat assistant that helps you understand which chronic disease screening tests may be relevant to you, based on Singapore's screening guidelines (STRC — Screening Test Review Committee) and recognised international guidance (WHO, ACS, USPSTF) where local guidance doesn't apply. Ask a question in plain language — your age, gender, or any risk factors you have — and ScreenAdvise retrieves the matching, evidence-based recommendation rather than relying on general background knowledge alone.

💡

Motivation

Screening recommendations are scattered across guidelines, age brackets, and risk categories, which makes it hard for the public to know what applies to them personally. ScreenAdvise exists to close that gap — giving people a fast, conversational way to check current, locally-relevant screening guidance without needing to search through clinical guideline documents themselves.

📋

Objectives

  • Give accurate, guideline-grounded screening recommendations tailored to age, gender, and known risk factors.
  • Clearly distinguish tests recommended for everyone (Category 1), tests only relevant to high-risk individuals (Category 2), and tests not recommended for screening (Category 3).
  • Make screening guidance easy to access in everyday language, at any time, without needing an appointment.
  • Support natural follow-up questions when you want more detail, not just a one-shot answer.
✅

Benefits

  • Grounded in Singapore-specific guidelines, not just generic international advice.
  • Personalised by age, gender, and self-reported risk factors.
  • Shows the guideline sources behind each answer, so you can see where the recommendation comes from.
  • Available as a guest with no sign-in required, or signed in to save and revisit your conversation history.
  • Free to use, available anytime.
👥

Who is this for?

  • Singapore residents who want to understand what screening tests may apply to them.
  • Anyone preparing for a doctor's visit who wants a starting point for what to ask about.
  • Caregivers helping a family member understand their screening options.
  • Anyone curious about chronic disease screening — diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and related conditions.
