Made in Newfoundland & Labrador
Waiting for a family doctor? Your health checks don't have to wait.
Kedge helps you stay on top of the health checks you're due for — cancer screening, diabetes, blood pressure — based on Canadian medical guidelines, while you wait to be attached to a family physician or primary health practitioner.
To move a vessel forward by setting a small anchor ahead and hauling toward it. Steady progress, made on purpose. That's what we help you do with your health.
You're on the list.
We'll email you as soon as Kedge is available in your area. Nothing else to do for now.
people in Newfoundland and Labrador are waiting to be attached to a family doctor or primary care provider. While they wait, the routine checks that catch cancer, diabetes, and heart disease early can slip through the cracks. Kedge was built to bridge that gap.
What Kedge keeps track of
The checks that catch problems before they become emergencies
These are the screening tests Canadian guidelines recommend. Kedge keeps track of which ones you're due for, so nothing slips through while you wait for a primary care provider.
Ages 50–74
Colon cancer check
A simple take-home test every two years. Colon cancer caught early is very treatable — caught late, it's a different story.
Women 40+
Breast cancer check
A mammogram every two years. In NL you can already self-refer — most people just don't know that.
Women & people with a cervix
Cervical cancer check
A Pap test every three years. One of the most effective cancer screens in medicine.
Most adults 40+
Diabetes check
A blood test every few years. Millions of Canadians have diabetes or prediabetes and don't know it yet.
All adults
Blood pressure & heart health
Blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart risk. High blood pressure has no symptoms until it does.
Long-time smokers 55–74
Lung cancer check
A low-dose CT scan for people who smoked for many years. It finds lung cancer while it's still small.
Which checks apply to you depends on your age, sex, and health history. That's exactly what Kedge figures out — so you're never guessing, and never getting tests you don't need.
How it works
Three simple steps
It starts on your phone. From there, Kedge keeps your preventive care on track while you wait for attachment.
Answer a few questions
Your age, your history, a few minutes on your phone. No medical jargon, no trick questions.
Get your personal checklist
Kedge checks your answers against Canadian medical guidelines and shows you exactly which tests you're due for — and which ones you can skip.
Get them done
We guide you to the right next step in your area — and when the time comes, your screening history is ready to share with your family physician or nurse practitioner.
Steady forward. That's the whole idea.
Wherever you live
Bringing care to the people — not the people to the care
In much of Newfoundland and Labrador, a routine check can mean hours of driving, a ferry, or a flight. Kedge is built for that reality, not just for people who live down the street from a clinic.
Starts on your phone
No appointment and no drive to find out where you stand. Your personal screening checklist comes to you, from your kitchen table, anywhere in the province.
Some tests come to you
Checks like the take-home colon cancer test can be done at home and mailed in — no travel at all. We make sure you know which ones those are.
Care closer to home
We're working to bring screening closer to where people actually live — including exploring clinics that travel to communities, rather than the other way around.
Who's behind Kedge
Built by a Newfoundland and Labrador physician
Kedge was founded by a physician working in Newfoundland and Labrador who sees every day how hard the wait for a family doctor is on patients — and how much preventive care matters in the meantime.
Kedge works alongside family physicians, nurse practitioners, and the provincial health system. It does one job well: keeping your age-appropriate screening on track while you wait to be attached, and handing you off with everything up to date.
"Screening works. The guidelines work. People just need support to stay on track while they wait for a family doctor. Kedge is that support — a bridge, not a replacement."

Common questions
Fair questions, straight answers
Is Kedge a replacement for a family doctor?
No, and it's not meant to be. A family physician or nurse practitioner provides full-scope care that no app can. Kedge supports you with one important piece — age-appropriate screening — while you wait to be attached. When you are, your screening history is ready to share with your new provider.
What does it cost?
The plan is for Kedge to be free for patients — funded through the provincial health system rather than out of your pocket. Cost should never be the reason someone skips a cancer screen. We'll confirm the details when we launch in your area.
I already have a family doctor. Is Kedge for me?
Kedge is built first for people without one. If you have a family doctor, keep seeing them — they're your best resource for preventive care.
Who decides which tests I need?
Canadian medical guidelines do — the same ones your family doctor would use, from bodies like the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care and Diabetes Canada. Kedge applies them to your situation; it doesn't invent its own advice.
Is Kedge available right now?
We're launching in Newfoundland and Labrador in stages, working alongside the provincial health system. Join the waitlist and we'll email you as soon as it's available where you live.
What if a test finds something?
Finding something early is the whole point — early almost always means more treatable. If a screening result needs follow-up, Kedge helps make sure that follow-up actually happens, rather than leaving you with a result and no next step.
