Your personal app
Your own personal app guides you through the examinations
The NKI Center for Early Diagnostics uses an innovative app to assist you through certain diagnostic procedures. This app can help you with your preparations, explains what to expect, and offers information tailored to your situation.
The app is currently only available in Dutch
Who can use the app?
The app can be used for colonoscopy and prostate examinations. After completing the questionnaire for your first appointment, you will receive an email containing a link and personal access code to download and use the app.
How does the app work?
Read more about the App functionality, how to obtain and use it, and frequently asked questions on this page.
We have compiled all the necessary information to help you prepare for your appointments and examinations in our app. This includes details about what to expect on the day of your appointment, what the examination entails, and how to prepare for it.
The information in the app is tailored to your specific situation. You will find your appointments, receive reminders about when and how to use laxatives, and the results will be discussed with you. This ensures you won’t miss anything and can undergo the examination with peace of mind.
The app is currently only available in Dutch
