health screening
Medical status assessment
Health screening is testing for diseases or conditions before symptoms appear.
Unlike diagnostic tests prompted by complaints, screening aims to catch problems early in apparently healthy people: routine health screenings for employees, cancer screening programs.
Common screenings include mammograms, cholesterol checks, and blood pressure measurements.
The goal is early intervention, when treatment is most effective.
