We aim to constantly transform lives by providing reliable solutions for the detection and treatment of cancer that offer immediate results and are affordable for everyone. Mortality related to cervical cancer is rare among women who get screened regularly. However, only 40 to 50% of women in developed countries get screened every year, while in underdeveloped countries that number drops to an alarming 5%. There is an urgent need for accessible, cost-effective, accurate and non-invasive solutions that significantly reduce the fatalities attributed to cervical cancer. Such solutions are especially urgent in developing countries that lack the resources and equipment to perform cytodiagnosis.
