Truscreen Group Limited (NZX and ASX:TRU) (TruScreen or Company) is pleased to announce the

appointment of Dr. Dexter Cheung as a non-executive director of TruScreen.

Dr. Cheung is an experienced medical device engineer and specialist in product research and development,

humidification division of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, an NZX/ASX listed healthcare company and a global

relevant to TruScreen whose cervical cancer screening device harnesses optical and electrical signatures for

screening results.

Dr Cheung brings a strong understanding of manufacturing processes and has travelled extensively to China,

USA, Europe, United Kingdom and Japan working closely with medical device manufacturers and component

suppliers in these regions.

Dr Cheung has published eight papers and has eight international patents pending or granted jointly with

collaborators or in his name, focusing on respiratory air flow management. He has previously served on a

visiting committee of the Auckland University of Technology.

Dr. Cheung holds a first-class honours degree in Bachelor of Technology, a Master of Engineering (first class

honours) degree and a Doctor of Philosophy (in physics) from his alma mater, University of Auckland.

Mr. Chris Lawrence has also announced his retirement from the board due to health reasons. Shareholders

would recall that Mr. Lawrence was unable to attend the last annual shareholders general meeting in August

2020 for health reasons.

Tony Ho, Chairman commented “On behalf of the board, I thank Chris Lawrence for his unstinting contributions

to the board over the past four years.

“The directors are pleased to welcome Dr. Dexter Cheung to the Board of TruScreen. He brings very relevant

technical and product development experience with a major global healthcare firm, along with the business

experience and manufacturing expertise within our key markets of China and Central America. This skill set will

assist TruScreen as we continue to evolve and scale up.

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.
