A Digital Tool for Smarter, More Accessible Preventive Care

The Czech Republic is advancing its digital healthcare landscape with a dedicated mobile application designed to put preventive care directly into the hands of its citizens. The application has been transformed from the previous version, which was created during the COVID-19 pandemic, when it was used to store, display and verify the validity of European COVID-19 certificates. Since then, the app has gradually developed in synergy with the development of healthcare electronization, especially the development of central services and the development of standardization. By centralizing medical data, the platform aims to increase screening participation and simplify health management for individuals.

Medical History

The latest update provides users with a record of their medical history. Key features include:

• Screening and prevention tracking: Users can view a clear history of their completed oncological screenings and regular preventive check-ups with GPs, dentists, or gynecologists.
• Family health management: The app allows parents to monitor the preventive care schedules for their children under the age of 18.

Automated Alerts

Notification feature is planned to be introduced in future updates – users will receive automated alerts when they become eligible for a screening.

The data is sourced from the National Registry of Reimbursed Health Services and is updated semi-annually to ensure accuracy.

By combining mobile technology with robust backend data sharing, the Czech healthcare system is making it easier than ever for citizens to stay on top of their preventive care.
