Smartphone Enhanced Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (SEVIA)
Project Overview
Smartphone Enhanced Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (SEVIA) a digital solution for detecting cervical cancer at an early stage. We developed a smartphone-enhanced VIA platform (SEVIA) for real-time secure sharing of cervical images for remote supportive supervision, data monitoring, and evaluation. From July 2016 to June 2018. Collaboration with Queen’s University, Canada, New York University School of Global Public Health, Pamoja Tunaweza Women’s Centre, Tanzania and the Ministry of Health Tanzania. Funded by Grand Challenges Canada.
Technological Innovation
At the core of the Sevia Project is our unwavering focus on innovation. We’ve harnessed the power of AI and machine learning to develop algorithms that analyze cervical images with unprecedented precision. Our Smartphone Enhanced Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (SEVIA) platform allows for real-time secure sharing of images, remote supervision, and data monitoring.
Impact and Achievements:
The Sevia Project’s impact is measured not only in technology but in lives touched. Through this project, we’ve enabled early-stage cervical cancer detection in resource-limited settings. Our efforts have led to improved diagnosis accuracy, reduced time to results, and empowered healthcare providers to make informed decisions swiftly.
Future Horizons:
The journey of the Sevia Project doesn’t end here. As we celebrate our achievements, we also look to the future with anticipation. Our commitment to continuous innovation drives us to refine, expand, and replicate the success of Sevia, ultimately contributing to improved healthcare outcomes globally.
