The Challenge We Address

Understanding the problem and how we solve it

The Challenge We Address

  • Late Diagnosis: Most cervical cancers in Uganda are caught only after symptoms appear, when treatment is far less effective
  • No Specialists Nearby: Traditional colposcopes are expensive, bulky, and confined to a handful of referral hospitals
  • Screening Gaps: Rural facilities lack the equipment and trained staff to screen women locally
  • Preventable Deaths: Women die from a highly treatable disease simply because it was found too late

Our Solution

  • CaviScope Device: A low-cost, portable, wireless digital colposcope built for Ugandan clinics
  • Real-Time Imaging: Clear, real-time cervical imaging that supports faster, more confident screening decisions
  • Training: Healthcare workers trained to screen and refer patients using CaviScope
  • Community Reach: Screening brought closer to the 80% of women who have never been screened
