Cervical cancer is caused due to HPV (Human Papillomavirus) with high-risk genotypes. According to research, personalized techniques for fighting this condition are effective. They work in rural sections of the state, such as Southwest Virginia, where cervical cancer mortality is around 2-3 times greater than the rest of the state. They work in international settings where stigma and access obstruct preventative and curative treatments. They also work during pandemics due to long-established partnerships.
To further help the situation, a team has developed sophisticated systems for screening, monitoring, and treating cervical cancer patients. The study has a significant impact on the Cervical Cancer Treatment Market since it provides basic information about the condition on a platform where individuals can learn more about it.
The newly created technology is referred to as the Azulado smartphone app. It attempted to reach out to women based on cultural, linguistic, and technological factors. It is mainly aimed at women who live along the Caribbean coast. Azulado is a Spanish word that alludes to the region's diverse population of 60,000 Caribbean, Black, Mestizo, and Indigenous people.
The team's personalized approach was accomplished with the new smartphone app. It recently debuted in spring 2021. It serves as a road map and ethos for other resource-constrained countries facing cervical cancer searching for best practices. This is critical given the World Health Organization's (WHO) goal of eradicating cervical cancer by the end of the century.
Researchers essentially demonstrated the kind of collaboration required for real change to occur. These aren't processes that happen overnight; they don't happen when someone from UVA flies to a location. One will have to figure out how to do it by paying attention to what's going on, figuring out what partners want to happen next, and figuring out how to get there.
The team continues to enhance and tailor the app to expand screening, treatment, and deployment to towns surrounding Bluefields, pending financing.
