A Kelowna web development agency has come up with a way for men to check their health.

Cheeky Monkey Media teamed up with its non-profit client, Canadian Men’s Health Foundation, and the provincial government to create the Men’s Health Check online tool. It is billed as the first online health awareness tool for men.

“The challenge was modernizing the old YouCheck application so we could meet men where they were at with new technology,” CMHF’s Gene Bernier said in a press release. “We needed a platform that would grow with us over time, and the old platform had reached its capacity. Our goal was an evergreen tool that could last for the next five-plus years, and Cheeky Monkey delivered.

“Cheeky Monkey dove into the development of the React app and our high expectations, and not only did they technically pull it off, they kept the project within budget.”

The Men’s Health Check is designed to highlight potential health risk areas and provide resources to help men better understand how they can take control of their health. Studies find 70% of men’s common health conditions can be avoided through lifestyle changes, and with the use of this assessment tool men can start to make changes immediately.
