Early detection is not an option—it is a necessity. Prevention saves lives.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions regarding EDPU's services

Once one has confirmed NCD risks, they are referred to a specialist or a referral hospital for further examination and diagnosis. EDPU does not directly handle transfers but can assist with guidance and referrals.

The risk modules of EDPU are currently designed to focus on specific conditions based on priority. While there are plans to add other modules, like prostate cancer, the current scope is based on the most prevalent and urgent conditions for early detection.

EDPU takes personal data security very seriously. We adhere to strict data protection protocols and have a valid data protection certificate. We ensure that all personal information is securely protected and managed in line with best practices in data security.

The AI questionnaire is designed by EDPU in accordance with WHO guidelines.

EDPU utilizes a range of less invasive tests based on triggers identified in the questionnaire to assess the risks of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). For example, we use spirometry to assess respiratory risks such as COPD, the Feco-Test for colon cancer detection, and Electrocardiogram (ECG) tests to evaluate cardiovascular risks. These tests, along with others, provide accurate and efficient assessments while minimizing discomfort for the patient.

Apart from NCDs screening, EDPU also provides CPD for digital health mastery, a training program that focuses on equipping healthcare professionals with a comprehensive understanding of digital health, its impact of patient care and healthcare systems.

EDPU is a community benefit company, focusing on ensuring universal accessibility to early detection and prevention of NCDs.

Regular screenings are the most convenient and globally advised way to help detect cancer early, allowing for timely diagnosis and treatment if needed.

Tests are personalized based on 3 main risk factors namely; metabolic, behavioral and modifiable risk factors. These may differ depending on one’s lifestyle, family and or medical history as well as environmental exposure, hence the difference in the tests taken per patient.

No, EDPU focuses on early detection and prevention. We don't prescribe medicine but help identify risks for NCDs.

Screening frequency depends on your health profile, but generally, we recommend annual screenings.

The AI questionnaire we use is designed to identify the risks that the client is exposed to. Based on the client's responses, the system adapts the number and type of questions to ensure all relevant factors are triggered. Regarding research, yes, we are conducting research based on the screening data results to identify the social determinants of certain non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

EDPU’s Digital Clinic is unique because of its innovative and practical approach to preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs). We combine four key health checks—Body Mass Index (BMI), cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood glucose—to give a clear picture of a person’s health risks. Our system is fully digital, meaning the data we collect is securely stored and can also help with research and understanding health trends in the community. What makes us even more special is that we are mobile—we bring our services to people at their workplaces or communities instead of waiting for them to come to us. This makes it easier for more people to learn about their health and take action.

EDPU’s screenings are designed to complement your regular checkups by focusing specifically on NCD risk detection. While general checkups are important, our services provide a specialized focus on early detection and prevention of NCDs, which may not always be fully covered in standard checkups.

At EDPU, we prioritize robust data governance to ensure the highest standards of data protection and privacy. When clients are screened, we handle data in two distinct categories: personal data (information that can directly identify an individual) and non-personal data (aggregate or anonymized information).
  • Personal Data Management: Personal data, such as health status reports, is shared exclusively with the individual client and the attending doctor for tailored recommendations. This ensures that sensitive information remains confidential and accessible only to authorized personnel.
  • Non-Personal Data Sharing: For organizational reporting, we anonymize data by removing any personal identifiers before sharing. This ensures privacy while providing actionable insights to organizations.
  • Cloud Storage and Access: All data is securely stored on cloud platforms and shared with AOS within the country. Access is strictly role-based, meaning only individuals whose responsibilities require the data can access it.
  • Data Presentation for Large Organizations: When screening larger private organizations, we first anonymize the data, then generate dashboards and reports. However, for smaller datasets, we take extra precautions to prevent precise identification due to the limited sample size.

EDPU Technologies has been instrumental in developing a Preventive Healthcare Screening Platform (‘PHSP’) that connects various stakeholders in the healthcare industry such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists and patients, and, delivers quality preventive healthcare through scientific, intelligent and evidence based exchange and control of patient information.
