The present invention relates to a digital system for cervical disease screening and detection, with clinical application as adjunct to Pap smear. The device of the present invention is designed for insertion into a woman's genital cavity, and is composed of a digital camera and light source at one end to take pictures of the cervix and its environment, of a flexible tubing connecting said end to a distal end, and of a distal end comprising a digital mean with capacity to store images, display, transfer and share them as required, on-site or at a remote location. This instrument can either be used by a health professional, or self-operated. The present invention provides a system making cervical disease screening routinely accessible to every woman, by improving frequency and cost-effectiveness of cervical disease surveillance in general, and facilitating access to health care professionals even to women in rural or underserved areas. |
