The MobileODT VisualCheck™ AI technology, utilizes multiple Artificial Intelligence algorithms for  non-invasive cervical cancer screening. This latest innovation provides results in less than 60 seconds, with an accuracy similar to that of leading experts . More than 20,000 patients have already been screened using the VisualCheck technology , in a variety of healthcare settings.

The new algorithm has been trained on both, pathology (biopsies) results as a ground truth, and human annotated images.

Incorporating biopsy results as ground truth, allows the algorithm to recognize patterns that may not normally be visible to the human eye. This is further supported by the incorporation of human annotations of a panel agreement, by leading colposcopy experts.

The hybrid algorithm closely mirrors the distribution of the cervical cancer and pre-cancer in the patient population. It also improves the sensitivity and specificity of the approach, thus offering users an improved and more accurate screening process.

The new algorithm is based on an extensive dataset of cervical images, collected from around the world, in different clinical stages and has been validated by leading colposcopists. “Based on the initial results, conducted in a clinical trial, this technology and method can be used as an effective primary screening tool” says Grzegorz Głąb, M.D., OBGYN, who has conducted an independent European clinical study of the VisualCheck AI. The study results will be presented at the EUROGIN Conference this May in Dusseldorf, Germany.

“AI is the future of women’s health and I am a great believer in its potential to revolutionize cervical cancer prevention” says Paul Blumenthal, M.D, Professor Emeritus of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Stanford University and one of the validators of the algorithm. “The inclusion of biopsy-based images to the algorithm has increased the clinical validity of the results.”

“This  new and novel  algorithm is a testament to our technological advances and abilities as a FemTech digital health company,” says Leon Boston, MobileODT CEO. “These developments are bringing our technology to the forefront of women’s health.”
