Introducing the Callascope
Backed by:
View research >>
Fear of the speculum and feelings of vulnerability during the gynecologic exams are two of the biggest barriers to cervical cancer screening for women. To address these barriers, we have developed a novel, low-cost tool called the Callascope to reimagine the gynecological exam, enabling clinician and self-imaging of the cervix without the need for a speculum.
Cervical cancer affects the lives of 500,000 women worldwide each year, resulting in more than 270,000 deaths annually. Because the majority of cases occur in low-income countries that cannot afford the tools commonly used in the United States, new solutions must be found.
The key innovation that will help us achieve our goal is a product called the Callascope.

The speculum is one barrier to cervical cancer screening due to fear of pain, discomfort and embarrassment, particularly for women who have never been previously screened in a routine gynecological exam. The Callascope, an alternative to the standard speculum enables speculum-free, provider insertion or self-insertion, and image capture of the cervix.

A smart phone with live video can guide the Callascope to the cervix. The Callascope with or without self-HPV testing can enable women to have complete control over the screening process.

It takes high quality images, and this really stood out to us.

The callascope comes in very handy to augment cervical cancer screening.
I really liked the Callascope. I thought it was really easy to use.
Much better (than the speculum), I like it. I would like this new one every time
It was an empowering and intimate experience with myself
I am really excited about the algorithms and the difference they can make
