Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. All consenting women aged between 30 to 59 years of age 2. With no cervical cancer screening in last 3 years (if recruited at screening clinics) 3. With recent abnormal screening test (when recruited at the colposcopy clinics) 4. The centers in India will recruit women eligible and willing to undergo cervical cancer screening in the community and/or hospital outpatients 5. The centers outside India will recruit women at the colposcopy clinics where the women with abnormal screening tests (cytology, HPV test or VIA) are evaluated with colposcopy

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Accuracy of AI based algorithm in detecting cervical high grade lesion is measured by estimating the specificity and sensitivity with histopathology as gold standard, after all the cases are recruited and investigated 2. The agreement between the investigational device and a colposcopist to correctly identify the transformation zone will be calculated from the data capture from all the study subjects, after all the cases are recruited and investigated
