About TruScreen:
TruScreen cervical cancer screening device offers the latest technology in cervical screening, providing real-
time, accurate detection of precancerous and cancerous cervical cells to help improve the health and well-being
of women around the world.
TruScreen’s real-time cervical cancer technology utilises a digital wand which is placed on the surface of the
cervix to measure electrical and optical signals from the surrounding tissues. A sophisticated proprietary
algorithm framework is utilised to detect pre-cancerous change, or cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN), by
optical and electrical measurement of cervical tissue.
TruScreen offers an alternative approach to cervical screening, resolving many of the ongoing issues with
conventional Pap tests, including failed samples, poor patient follow-up, patient discomfort and the need for
supporting laboratory infrastructure. As such, TruScreen’s target market is low and middle-income countries
where no large-scale cervical cancer screening programs and infrastructure are in place, such as China, Mexico,
Africa, Russia and India. TruScreen’s cervical cancer screening device is CE-marked and certified for use
throughout Europe and CFDA approved for sale in China. The global market potential for TruScreen is
significant.
