This invitation follows on from a watershed 2024 year where TruScreen received recognition for our
cervical cancer screening technology from leading global organisations such as the World Health
Organization, UNITAID, Chinese Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Association (COGA) and the Chinese
Society of Colposcopy and Clinical Pathology (CSCCP). TruScreen is proud to be one of only six
Australian medtech companies invited to showcase our innovative technology at this forum. TruScreen
will continue to work with its global distributors to assist with achieving the WHO strategic objective of
eliminating cervical cancer by the end of the century.
Cervical cancer is the 4
th
highest cancer causing deaths amongst women and accounts for in excess of
350,000 global deaths per annum in the past years.
This announcement has been approved by the Board.

About TruScreen:
TruScreen Group Limited (NZX/ASX: TRU) is a medical device company that has developed and
manufactures an AI-enabled device for detecting abnormalities in the cervical tissue in real-time via
measurements of the low level of optical and electrical stimuli.
TruScreen’s cervical screening technology enables cervical screening, negating sampling and
processing of biological tissues, failed samples, missed follow-up, discomfort, and the need for costly,
specialised personnel and supporting laboratory infrastructure.
The TruScreen device, TruScreen Ultra
®
, is registered as a primary screening device for cervical cancer
screening.
The device is CE Marked/EC certified, ISO 13485 compliant and is registered for clinical use with the TGA
(Australia), MHRA (UK), NMPA (China), SFDA (Saudi Arabia), Roszdravnadzor (Russia), and COFEPRIS
(Mexico). It has Ministry of Health approval for use in Vietnam, Israel, Ukraine, and the Philippines,
among others and has distributors in 29 countries. In 2021, TruScreen established a manufacturing
facility in China for devices marketed and sold in China.
TruScreen technology has been recognised in CSCCP’s (Chinese Society for Colposcopy and Cervical
Pathology) China Cervical Cancer Screening Management Guideline.
TruScreen has been recognised in a China Blue Paper “Cervical Cancer Three Stage Standardized
Prevent and Treatment” published on 28 April 2023.
In Dec 2023 TruScreen technology was added to the Vietnam Ministry of Health approved National
Technical List, for use in Vietnam’s public and private healthcare sectors and in 2024 was added to the
Russian guidelines for the screening of cervical cancer.
In financial year 2024 alone, over 200,000* examinations were performed with the TruScreen device. To
date, over 200 devices have been installed and used in China, Vietnam, Mexico, Zimbabwe, Russia, and
Saudi Arabia. TruScreen’s vision is “A world without the cervical cancer”

Glossary:
Pap smear (the Papanicolaou smear) test involves gathering a sample of cells from the
cervix, with a special brush. The sample is placed on a glass slide or in a bottle containing a solution to
preserve the cells. Then it is sent to a laboratory for a pathologist to examine under a
microscope. https://www.cancer.net/navigating-cancer-care/diagnosing-cancer/tests-and-
procedures/pap-test
LBC (the liquid-based cytology) test, transfers a thin layer of cells, collected with a brush from the cervix,
onto a slide after removing blood or mucus from the sample. The sample is preserved so other tests can
be done at the same time, such as the human papillomavirus (HPV)
test https://www.cancer.net/cancer-types/cervical-cancer/diagnosis
HPV (human papilloma virus) test is done on a sample of cells removed from the cervix, the same
sample used for the Pap test or LBC. This sample is tested for the strains of HPV most commonly linked
to cervical cancer. HPV testing may be done by itself or combined with a Pap test and/or LBC. This test
may also be done on a sample of cells which a person can collect on their own.
https://www.cancer.net/cancer-types/cervical-cancer/screening-and-prevention
Sensitivity and specificity mathematically describe the accuracy of a test which reports the presence
or absence of a condition. If individuals who have the condition are considered "positive" and those who
don't are considered "negative", then sensitivity is a measure of how well a test can identify true positives
and specificity is a measure of how well a test can identify true negatives:
• Sensitivity (true positive rate) is the probability of a positive test result, conditioned on the
individual truly being positive.
• Specificity (true negative rate) is the probability of a negative test result, conditioned on the
individual truly being negative (Sensitivity and specificity – Wikipedia).

The TruScreen Technology
8
Handheld device (HHD)
Intelligent Cradle
Single Use Sensor (SUS)
•Each TruScreen examination takes one to two minutes to produce results, compared to
conventional Pap tests which can take days, weeks, or even months in some countries, for a
result to be returned.
•Enabled by AI, TruScreen provides an accurate, real time cervical cancer screening solution
9
a pen-like wand covered by a
Single Use Sensor (SUS) is used
to gently touch multiple spots on
the cervix. The SUS contains a
precision lens and electrodes
which interfaces with the cervix.
It sends and picks up low level
electrical and optical signals (14
readings per second) from the
cervical tissue.
1
How it works
10
The TruScreen Handheld Device (HHD) then applies
an integrated AI-enabled algorithm to analyse
these signals and compares them to an integrated
database of patients drawn from a wide range of
geographic and ethnic backgrounds with differing
histological diagnoses.
This identifies the presence of abnormal (cancerous
and pre-cancerous) cells in the cervix and provides
physicians with real-time results.
2
How it works
11
✓Clinicians/physicians are able to immediately plan
appropriate patient care
✓Device has an expected life span of 5–7 years
✓Disposable SUS is used once per test per patient - ensures
there is no chance of cross-infection between patients
✓The entire patient data collection and analysis is self-
checked and controlled. No tissue sample needs to be
taken. These measures ensure that the results are reliable
and consistent, and that the examination is painless and
safe
✓TruScreen has been used on over 1 million women and there
has never been a single adverse event reported

•TruScreen specificity surpassed Liquid Based Cytology (LBC) and hrHPV
•TruScreen was determined to be a simple, effective and rapid real-time cervical cancer screening method
•TruScreen was determined to be an appropriate primary cervical cancer screening tool in regions with high morbidity and
mortality to cervical cancer
•Also highlighted the superiority of TruScreen against alternative screening methods as well as the potential benefits of a
TruScreen-HPV co-testing. The size of the COGA study, which was TruScreen’s largest clinical evaluation to date, lends extra significance to its
results and broad conclusions.
TruScreen’s
sensitivity
was well above that for LBC
(87.5% v’s 66.5%), with a high
degree of statistical
significance (p<0.001).
TruScreen’s
specificity
(88.4%) was higher than
both LBC (86.3%) and hrHPV
testing (78.3%) (also at
p<0.001).
The sensitivity of TruScreen-hrHPV co-
testing (carrying out with multiple types
of screening tests at the same time, as
opposed to a single type) was higher
than that of LBC-hrHPV co-testing,
98.4% vs 95.9%
(statistically significant at p=0.006).

Recurring Revenue Model
•TruScreen manufactures two devices –
oone made in China for use in China, where locally manufactured products
have preferential market access
oone made in Australia for other markets
•For each patient screened with the TruScreen device a new disposable Single
Use Sensor (SUS) must be used. This creates a recurring revenue model with a
consumable sale for each patient screened with TruScreen.
20
TruScreen Sales Strategy
•Whilst many other medical technology companies seek to commercialize their devices
in developed countries, TruScreen focuses on Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs)
such as China, Mexico, Vietnam and Zimbabwe.
•Unlike the developed western markets, these countries and other LMICs have no or
minimal large-scale cervical cancer screening programs and infrastructure. This
creates a gap in the market for TruScreen that is not available in the developed
markets and allows quicker market access from a relative lack of existing
competition.
•Unlike competing products such as cytology and HPV DNA screening TruScreen is
‘capital light’, not requiring lab infrastructure to be established prior to commencing
screening.
