Project Overview

The goal of this project is to create a smartphone application that can screen for cervical cancer in under-resourced countries. This is important because cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, often affecting young otherwise healthy women. Developing countries often lack the infrastructure for adequate screening programs and people eligible for screening programs often have poor access to healthcare services. The cervical cancer screening result must be able to be obtained at the point of care for best outcomes and it should not require the expertise of trained health care workers, but rather be able to be used by lay people in the communities of the screened population.
