A genetic result can answer one question—and immediately create ten more. What does this mean for me? What screenings do I need? When should I start? How often do I need them? What should I ask my doctor? ACT-GEN helps turn those questions into a plan you can understand and act on. Built for people with Lynch syndrome or BRCA-related hereditary cancer risk, ACT-GEN brings education, prevention strategies, appointments, and trusted resources together in one place—so your care feels less scattered and easier to navigate. With ACT-GEN, you can: - Understand your condition with clear, visual education about Lynch syndrome, BRCA-related risk, and why preventive care matters. - Build your prevention plan with screening and prevention strategies based on your age and genetic variant. - Know why each strategy matters and when it may be recommended. - Stay on top of your care by tracking upcoming, to-schedule, and overdue appointments. - Prepare for appointments with saved preparation notes and questions for your provider. - Capture key visit details including notes, results, voice recordings, and changes to your prevention plan. - Learn from doctor-vetted resources about screening, prevention, cascade testing, risk-reducing surgery, and more. Your genetic risk is part of your story. ACT-GEN helps you understand what comes next and keep moving forward, one step at a time. ACT-GEN is designed to support—not replace—the relationship between you and your healthcare team.
