ABSTRACT
Cervical cancer death rates have been increasing during the last five years in the world, especially in Brazil and Latin America. One of the reasons for this phenomenon is the stalling of preventive cervical cancer screening tests, due to the lack of specialists with proper technologies for massive screening. The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the situation as several Pap smearing tests have been postponed. The goal of this work is to present the design of a portable, low-cost device for digital screen test analysis to support cervical cancer detection in low-income and remote areas. We were able to design and test a low-cost, easy to implement device for conventional Pap smearing with high accuracy to detect anomalies in cervical cells. The total cost of the device is lower than 400 dollars. © 2022 IEEE.
