Point-of-care cervical screening
TruScreen delivers an AI-enabled cervical assessment in minutes — helping providers identify women who need further care before they leave the room. No laboratory. No sample transport. No waiting weeks for a result.
The gap this closes
Every day between a sample and a result is a day a woman can disengage from care. Loss to follow-up — not lack of screening alone — is one of the largest drivers of preventable cervical cancer deaths.
Why South Africa needs a different approach
TruScreen brings the assessment to where a woman already is, and returns a result before she leaves.
Key benefits
The screening outcome is available during the patient visit — not days or weeks later.
Built for primary clinics, mobile screening units, and rural healthcare programmes.
Optical and electrical measurements interpreted by algorithms trained on extensive clinical data.
Screen more women closer to where they live, including areas labs can't easily serve.
An immediate result removes the days-long gap where women disengage from care.
More coverage and earlier detection, with less pressure on an already stretched system.

Precancer and invasive disease treated
A country that reaches all three targets by 2030 moves from managing cervical cancer to eliminating it as a public health problem. Coverage is the target TruScreen is built to move.
The challenge
Cervical cancer disproportionately affects women where screening access is least consistent — amplified by unequal healthcare access, rural distance, limited infrastructure, and constrained follow-up capacity.
Laboratory dependency
Each handoff is a place for delay and operational complexity to enter the pathway.
Loss to follow-up
When a result takes days or weeks, women may not return for treatment or further assessment — one of the biggest barriers in cervical cancer prevention.
Rural access
Communities far from labs and specialists see lower screening uptake and later intervention.
How TruScreen helps
Women receive a result during the appointment itself.
Assessment happens at the point of care — nothing to courier, nothing to lose in transit.
A screening examination typically takes only a few minutes.
The same device and workflow scale from urban hospitals to mobile rural outreach.
Public health programmes
Incorporated into public health screening efforts focused on expanding access and reducing barriers to care.

Laboratory partnership
TruScreen isn't built to replace laboratory testing. It's built to widen the front door of the screening system — so more women reach it in the first place.
The cost of waiting
A woman screened today may avoid invasive cancer tomorrow.
