Clinical Transparency

Where our guidelines come from

Kinvera's screening recommendations are built on published clinical guidelines from the organizations below. We don't invent rules — we organize established medical consensus into a personalized plan for your family.

Every screening recommendation in Kinvera traces back to a specific guideline published by one of these recognized medical bodies. When guidelines are updated, we update Kinvera to match.

Independent, federally appointed expert panel

The gold standard for evidence-based preventive care in the United States. USPSTF assigns letter grades to screening recommendations based on rigorous evidence review. Their guidelines cover cancer screening, cardiovascular risk, metabolic conditions, mental health, and more.
