In a collaborative effort between our company (LueinAnalytics) and a renowned healthcare firm in India, we have developed a groundbreaking AI-powered cervical cancer detection application. By combining cutting-edge technology, medical expertise, and a commitment to improving women's health, we aim to revolutionise cervical cancer screening.
CHALLENGE
Developing an advanced cervical screening application came with its fair share of challenges. We encountered and successfully overcame the following obstacles:​
-
Data Challenges: Gathering a diverse and comprehensive dataset to train our AI model was a complex task. We needed to ensure inclusivity across age groups, ethnicities, and cervical conditions.
-
Process Challenges: Establishing a streamlined process to handle consent procedures, image acquisition, and data privacy compliance demanded meticulous planning and adherence to Indian Healthcare Industry Mandatory Compliances.
-
Review Process: Implementing an efficient review process that involved gynecologists and para-medical experts, ensuring accuracy and reliability in AI recommendations, required extensive coordination.
-
Mobile Device Limitations: Working with a range of mobile devices presented technical challenges, such as handling variations in camera quality and performance.
-
Image Quality: Dealing with issues like blur, poor contrast, and low image quality required the development of robust image processing algorithms.
SOLUTION
Our AI-powered cervical screening application offers a comprehensive solution by leveraging the latest advancements in technology. While protecting the proprietary aspects of our core algorithm, our solution can be broadly outlined as follows:
Enhanced Media Stream: We optimised the incoming media stream to remove blurriness, improve contrast, and enhance image quality, ensuring clearer and more accurate detection.
Cervix Detection: Our AI model first detects the cervix within an image captured by a phone camera, precisely locating the area of interest for further analysis.
Classification: The application then employs sophisticated AI algorithms to classify the cervix as normal or abnormal, aiding in preliminary risk identification.
Expert Review and Feedback: To ensure the highest level of accuracy, gynecologists and para-medical experts review the AI recommendations and provide valuable feedback.
Screening Process: After the review process, the screening is completed, guiding women towards the appropriate next steps based on their results.
RESULT
The impact of our AI-powered cervical screening app has surpassed our expectations, delivering better, faster, and more accurate screening results. Key outcomes include:
-
Early Detection: By enabling mobile screening, we have successfully identified numerous early-stage cervical cancer cases, empowering women to take timely preventive action.
-
Accessibility: The application has gained significant traction among women in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, providing them access to much-needed cervical screenings conveniently.
-
Community Engagement: Conducting weekend boot camps, we have reached and educated over 120-140 women per session, raising awareness and promoting early detection.
-
Huge cost saving for expensive tests and device purchase, as no external device required apart from the mobile app.
-
App under restrictive use.
