About TruScreen:
TruScreen Group Limited (NZX/ASX: TRU) is a New Zealand-based medical device company that
has developed an AI-enabled device that can detect precancerous and cancerous cervical changes
in real-time via optical and electrical measurements of cervical tissue. Unlike many cervical screening
technologies that have only triage/adjunct functionality, the TruScreen device is registered as a
primary screening tool.
TruScreen’s cervical screening technology effectively resolves many of the ongoing issues with
conventional cytology, including failed samples, poor patient follow-up, patient discomfort, and the
need for supporting laboratory infrastructure.
The device is CE-marked, meaning it meets EU safety, health and environmental protection standards
required for sale and use throughout Europe. It is also National Medical Products Administration
approved for sale in China. In 2021, TruScreen established a manufacturing facility in China for
devices marketed and sold in China.
TruScreen is currently targeting product sales to a range of low and middle-income countries,
including China, Mexico, Vietnam, Russia, Zimbabwe and Saudi Arabia, where no large-scale cervical
cancer screening programmes and infrastructure are currently in place. By doing so, the Company
hopes to help improve the health and wellbeing of women worldwide.
