What is screening?

Screening, in a general technological context, refers to a process of examining or evaluating something, often a large number of items or individuals, to identify those with specific characteristics or qualities. It's used across various fields, including healthcare (e.g., disease screening), security (e.g., airport security), and talent acquisition (e.g., resume screening). Screening aims to quickly and efficiently filter out irrelevant or unsuitable candidates/items, enabling a more focused and detailed evaluation of those that pass the initial screening criteria. The technology involved varies greatly depending on the application, ranging from simple questionnaires to sophisticated imaging and data analysis systems.
