2. Title of the Invention Country of Patent filed/granted: INDIA IoT based Cervical Cancer Screening Device

3. Abstract Cervical cancer remains a significant health issue worldwide, particularly in low-resource settings where access to regular screenings is limited. Traditional cervical screening methods, such as Pap smears and HPV testing, often require specialized equipment and personnel, making them less accessible. There is a need for a more efficient, accurate, and accessible solution is evident . The present invention relates to medical devices and, more particularly, to an Internet of Things ( IoT )-based device designed for the early detection and monitoring of cervical anomalies through real-time data collection, analysis, and remote monitoring . The present invention addresses the aforementioned challenges by providing an IoT -based device for cervical screening. The device integrates a network of sensors, advanced imaging technologies, and diagnostic algorithms to conduct accurate and real-time cervical screenings. It enables remote monitoring and data access through a secure web interface and mobile app, facilitating prompt medical responses and tailored patient care.

4. Introduction What is cervical cancer? Cervical cancer  starts in the cervix, which connects the uterus to the vagina.   Cervical cancer  is almost always caused by  human papillomavirus (HPV) infection The fourth most common cancer in women worldwide, cervical cancer kills 85% of its victims in low- and middle-income countries In Indian, cancer of the cervix uteri is the 3rd most common cancer with an incidence rate of 18% (123,907 cases) and the second leading causes of death with a mortality rate of 9.1% In developing countries, cervical cancer can account for up to 25% of all cancers in women, making it typically the most common disease affecting females

5. Objectives To design a network of interconnected sensors configured to collect real-time cervical health data an advanced imaging system capable of high-resolution imaging of the cervix diagnostic algorithms for analysing collected data and detecting cervical anomalies a data transmission module for sending collected and analysed data to remote healthcare providers via a secure web interface. Mobile app for remote access and monitoring of screening results by healthcare professionals wherein the device is to be configured to comply with medical regulations and standards for clinical safety and efficacy.

6. Prior Art of Development/Research Gap There is insufficient evidence regarding the effectiveness of digital health strategies for cervical cancer screening and treatment . Future cervical cancer related research works should adopt more rigorous study designs for increasing effectiveness. The reporting of digital health strategies in the literature is required to be improved Expansion of research is required in the lower and middle income countries in Asia and South America to attain more relevant data from a wider variety of sources.

7. Scope & Inventive steps 1. Integration of IoT Technology with Cervical Screening Scope : Traditional cervical screening methods do not leverage IoT technology. Inventive Step : Developing a network of interconnected sensors that can collect and transmit real-time data for cervical screenings. This allows for continuous monitoring and timely detection of cervical anomalies . 2. Advanced Imaging and Diagnostic Capabilities Scope : Conventional methods may rely on manual or less advanced imaging techniques. Inventive Step : Incorporating high-resolution imaging technologies and advanced diagnostic algorithms that provide clear, detailed, and accurate analysis of cervical health, surpassing the accuracy and reliability of existing methods . 3. Real-time Data Analysis and Remote Monitoring Scope : Traditional screenings often require in-person visits and do not provide real-time data analysis. Inventive Step : Creating a system that enables healthcare professionals to remotely access and analyse screening data through secure web interfaces or mobile apps. This facilitates prompt medical responses and continuous patient care without the need for frequent physical consultations.

8. 4. Compliance with Medical Standards and Regulations Scope : Ensuring compliance with medical standards and regulations is a necessary but often complex aspect of medical device innovation. Inventive Step : Designing the device to adhere to stringent medical regulations and standards from the outset, guaranteeing its safety and efficacy in clinical environments. This involves integrating regular updates and maintenance protocols to keep the device compliant with evolving guidelines . 5. Enhanced Accessibility and Usability Scope : Many existing screening devices are not designed with accessibility in mind, especially for remote or underserved areas. Inventive Step : Developing a user-friendly device that can be easily deployed in various settings, including remote or underserved regions. This improves the accessibility of cervical screenings and helps bridge the healthcare gap . 6. Efficient Data Collection and Transmission Scope : Traditional methods often involve manual data entry and limited data transmission capabilities. Inventive Step : Implementing automated data collection and efficient transmission mechanisms using IoT technology, reducing the potential for human error and enhancing the overall efficiency of the screening process.

9. 7. Personalized Patient Care Scope : Current screening methods may not always allow for personalized care based on continuous monitoring. Inventive Step : Utilizing the collected data to create personalized patient care plans, enabling healthcare providers to make informed decisions tailored to each patient's specific needs and health status . 8. Global Health Impact Scope : While many devices aim to improve health outcomes, few target global accessibility and impact. Inventive Step : Focusing on a design and deployment strategy that addresses global health challenges, particularly in low-resource settings, to improve women's health outcomes worldwide and support public health initiatives against cervical cancer.

10. Methodology The device operates by collecting cervical health data through its sensors and imaging system. The diagnostic algorithms analyse the data to detect anomalies, which are then transmitted to healthcare providers via the data transmission module. The secure web interface and mobile app allow for remote monitoring and access to screening results, while the automated alert system ensures timely medical responses.
