Aflac and Rachel Zoe turn fashion into a cancer screening tool

Designer Rachel Zoe is partnering with Aflac to launch Fit Checks, a campaign that embeds cancer risk information directly into a custom garment. By integrating a QR code into a checkered pattern, the initiative aims to nudge Americans toward preventive screenings through an unexpected, style-forward medium.

The campaign addresses a persistent public health hurdle: the tendency for many Americans to delay or avoid medical checkups. According to the 2025 Aflac Wellness Matters Survey, 59% of respondents admit to skipping important screenings, while 94% report having delayed a recommended health visit. Aflac hopes to bridge this gap by weaving health awareness into the fabric of daily life.

Virgil Miller, president of Aflac U.S., stated that the goal is to meet people in non-traditional settings to spark action. The company has set an ambitious target to increase cancer screening rates in the U.S. by 10% over the next decade. When users scan the QR code featured on Zoe’s limited-edition design, they are directed to a resource hub, CheckForCancerNow.com, which provides information on early detection and risk assessment. For Zoe, the project represents a shift in fashion’s utility, transforming clothing from a vehicle for self-expression into a purposeful tool for public health advocacy.
