ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new artificial intelligence (AI) model designed to help detect cervical cancer by analyzing images taken during a procedure called colposcopy. Colposcopy allows doctors to closely examine the cervix for signs of cancer, but results can vary depending on the doctor's skills. The goal of this study is to see if the AI can provide more accurate and consistent results, especially in areas where access to healthcare is limited. By improving the detection of cervical abnormalities, the trial aims to make screening easier and more reliable, which could lead to earlier treatment and better outcomes for women.

To participate in this trial, women must be at least 18 years old and willing to undergo cervical cancer screening. They should not have had a hysterectomy or a current diagnosis of cervical cancer. Unfortunately, pregnant women and those with certain medical conditions that could affect the screening results cannot take part. Participants can expect to have their colposcopy images analyzed by the AI model, and the study will assess how well the AI performs compared to traditional methods. Overall, this research hopes to enhance cervical cancer screening and ultimately save lives.

• Inclusion Criteria:
• • Female patients of age 18 years or older can be selectedas subjects.
• • Individuals willing to participate in cervical cancerscreening.
• • Availability for colposcopic examination.
• • Women with no history of hysterectomy (total removalof the uterus).
• • Women with no current or prior diagnosis of cervicalcancer.
• • Availability of relevant medical records forconfirmation and comparison purposes.
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • Pregnant women, given the potential impact onscreening results and the need for specialconsiderations during pregnancy.
• • Individuals with severe medical conditions orcircumstances that may make colposcopic examinationinappropriate or unsafe.
