In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Cervical cancer remains a major public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to financial and logistical issues. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation for cervical cancer screening in LMICs includes Human Papillomavirus (HPV) testing as primary screening followed by visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and treatment. However, VIA is a subjective procedure dependent on the healthcare provider's experience. Therefore, an objective approach based on quantitative diagnostic algorithms is desirable to improve performance of VIA. With this objective and in a collaboration between the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of the Geneva University Hospital (HUG) and the Swiss Institute of Technology (EPFL), our group started the development of an automated smartphone-based image classification device called AVC (for Automatic VIA Classifier).
