Project Outline
Users will be invited to provide information on their physical and psychological well-being.
Then they will be assessed for their physiological measurements and different blood and
urine tests. Eventually, based on the individualised information and test results, an AI-based
algorithm will provide a suggestive referral pathway for further clinical management.
This service will provide a convenient and comprehensive delivery of an effective screening
at a primary level from the convenience of their home or workplace.
