TRUSCREEN
TruScreen is a new technology used to detect pre-cancerous change, or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), by optical and electrical measurements of cervical tissue.
TruScreen is an objective, self-checking digital system that can be used with minimal training, and without the infrastructure and resource costs associated with cytology-based screening.
As well as high accuracy, TruScreen provides an instant report and a more humane approach to women than a Pap test because no cervical tissue needs to be taken during the test.
Innovation: Portable medical device to detect and prevent cervical cancer in women.
Description: Onko Solutions has developed a portable medical device to detect and prevent cervical cancer in women. Unlike Pap test, the test of the human papilloma virus or biopsies, our medical device does not require a tissue sample or laboratory analysis.
Our device combines multiple technologies that make the best use of intelligent systems based on neural networks and support vector machine, including simplified optical spectroscopy and bioimpedance, which is increasingly becoming an important area in regard to the prevention and the diagnosis of cancer.
Our technology is superior to the traditional cytology as it provides immediate results and allows the inclusion of artificial intelligence to collect, disseminate and display the results in the review of cancer cells in vivo. The device allows the patient to examine noninvasively and get instant results, eliminating pain in the patient and work consuming and costly laboratory.
Benefits of our technology
• Our technology is accurate and secure.
• Unlike current technologies, our technology produces immediate results.
• The intelligent system is based on neural networks and support vector machine.
• The test is noninvasive.
• No need for a specialist to interpret the results.
• Cutting-edge technology: combines biophotonics and electrical impedance spectroscopy.
• It offers higher levels of sensitivity and specificity.
• Immediate feedback to the patient and operator
• Easy to use
• High level of performance
• High level of cervical screening
• consistent and accurate results
• There is no pain or discomfort to the patient
• If necessary, the patient can be treated like the first visit.
• No cytologists and medical personnel need highly trained
• Suitable for remote areas and developing countries
• Cost savings to the health system
Profit, Social Impact: Every two minutes a woman dies in the world due to cervical cancer, even if it is very easy to prevent and even cure. The reason for this high mortality rate is that many women do not have access to cervical inspection methods, because the current technology requires complex and expensive laboratories and highly specialized doctors.
Our device breaks with these paradigms. The size, portability and
ease of use allows the test to be administered by a nurse, medical technician or semi-skilled medical personnel, providing immediate results, even in unusual conditions and remote marginalized populations.
Further testing is using our inexpensive device does not require laboratory work and has a sensitivity greater than 85%, resulting in a breakthrough in women’s health.

Home Pap test kit¶
majakecman.com/pap-test-kit/
The home Pap test kit enables women to take a cervical Pap test by themselves and in the privacy of their home. It was developed because of a personal dislike of the screening process and the realisation that a great many other women feel the same way.
There is a high noncompliance rate in Pap smear testing for many and varied reasons. With clear instructions, this device is easy to use and should be as accurate and reliable as smears taken by a nurse.
For those women for whom visiting a clinic is either inconvenient, distressing or embarrassing, it will allow regular screening and thereby increase the chances of early detection of cervical cancer.

TruScreen¶
truscreen.com/
TruScreen’s real time technology has been found to be twice as sensitive as the Pap test and significantly more sensitive than HPV DNA testing at defining high grade cervical lesions in a real world setting.
ruScreen utilises technology to detect pre-cancerous change, or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), by optical and electrical measurements of cervical tissue.
ruScreen offers a new approach to cervical screening, resolving many of the ongoing issues with Pap tests including failed samples, poor patient follow up, patient discomfort and the need for supporting laboratory infrastructure.
As well as being highly accurate, the TruScreen system provides an instant report, thus preventing the risk of losing contact with the patient because of the delay associated with transportation of samples to laboratories for analysis and reporting.
TruScreen is an objective, self-checking digital system that can be used with minimal training of medical or paramedical staff, and without the infrastructure and resource costs associated with cytology-based screening.
TruScreen is also more acceptable to women than a Pap test because no cervical tissue needs to be taken during the test, meaning no or minimal discomfort, and real time results are provided.

Our innovative, low-cost and small sized revolutionary product will provide clear and critical advantages over current diagnostic technologies.
Biop Medical’s device, due out in 2017, optically scans the cervix for early signs of cancer, analyzes the images and indicates where to perform a biopsy.
www.israel21c.org/new-high-tech-weapon-.../
The Israeli company Biop Medical is designing and testing a better alternative: a state-of-the-art colposcope, the instrument used to check women for gynecological disease. Colposcopy is usually performed after a positive Pap smear, and if it detects suspicious cells the woman must schedule a biopsy.
Biop’s device does everything in one visit. It optically scans the inner layers of the cervix for early signs of cancer, analyzes the images instantly and indicates where to perform a biopsy if necessary.
Pocket Colposcope¶
Duke Team Reaches Milestone with Portable Cervical Cancer Screening Device Pocket Colposcope
After four generations of development, the team has created a beta prototype of the Pocket Colposcope in collaboration with product design and development company 3rd Stone Design, Inc.
The Pocket Colposcope is significantly less expensive, smaller and lighter than a traditional clinical colposcope. Weighing less than two pounds, it fits inside a pocket (hence the name). The device enables healthcare providers to zoom and capture images by pressing a button with their thumb. Images taken with the Pocket Colposcope are transmitted instantly to a smartphone, tablet or laptop.
The tablet displays an image of a plastic cervix model.
Afterwards, the device can be sterilized by immersion in bleach or hydrogen peroxide.
“What’s unique about this design compared to traditional and redesigned, low-cost colposcopes on the market is that it reimagines the way a gynecological exam is performed,” said Ramanujam. Rather than visualizing the cervix from outside the speculum (the instrument that separates the vaginal walls during cervical exams), as other colposcopes do, the Pocket Colposcope can be used inside a speculum or even without a speculum.
Traditional colposcopes have a camera and light source and a binocular viewing system to examine the cervix. Thus the colposcope is external to the cervix. The Pocket colposcope does not have a viewing system, but rather has a consumer grade light source and camera at the tip, that when inserted can provide a live video or image of the cervix on a laptop or tablet. The ability to insert the colposcope through a speculum enables a close-up view of the cervix (three centimeters rather than 30 centimeters away from the cervix), alleviating the need for high-end optics and high-resolution cameras, which make traditional colposcopes expensive.
The team’s work hasn’t ended at the colposcope. Using a human-centered design process—an approach driven by the needs identified by individuals who will be using the product—they’ve developed a more woman-centric replacement for a traditional speculum. Traditional speculums can be uncomfortable, and women’s aversion to them can be a barrier to seeking care, so a more comfortable instrument could increase screening uptake. The device is currently in clinical testing; in a volunteer study, it was strongly preferred over the speculum.

Speculum-Free Inserter¶
The speculum-free inserter next to a penny, shown for scale.
The team is also developing a low-cost cervical cancer treatment that delivers gelatinous ethanol to the lesion site. This method does not need electricity or hard-to-obtain products that are required for traditional treatment approaches.
“Many people in low-resource settings don’t have access to cervical cancer treatment,” said Ramanujam, “so we can’t just develop screening technologies. We have to think through the entire process and see what we can do to make screening and treatment options available.”
