CSR ID: 10057

Photospimedx is developing a smartphone based compact, portable, cost-effective and non-invasive cervical precancer diagnostic device which will provide real-time objective results. The device will scan the cervix area of women to diagnose the abnormalities and to classify the different grades of cancer. This device is an upgradation of in-house developed polarized fluorescence based handheld probe which has been tested successfully on patients in GSVM Medical College Kanpur and AIIMS Bhubaneswar. Now our aim is to conduct clinical trials with the indigenously developed smartphone based prototypes in various hospitals in northern and eastern India. Our technical team will be performing the in-vivo testing in different government hospitals and private clinics in cities and rural areas. The medical professionals attached with the hospitals and clinics will also be trained to operate the device. The data collected from different demographics will make the precancer diagnosis more effective and accurate.

Project Impact

The device has a great potential to meet the present challenges of cancer diagnostic devices in India which should be affordable, accessible and effective. The rural and far-flung areas of the country and the lower socio- economic strata of population will be greatly benefitted due to portability and cost-effectiveness of the device. Effective and faster diagnosis with negligible missed and overcalled cases will be crucial factor for early cancer diagnosis. Also, the need of the hour in India is to overcome the patient related challenges which are- low levels of screening mostly in rural areas and prevalence of late stage of the disease. The smartphone based device using non-invasive technique is at an advantageous position compared to conventional techniques used for cervical cancer diagnosis and hence it will have great societal impact in improving the present scenario of cervical cancer in India.
