Abstract: An apparatus for detecting cervical cancer comprising, a mechanical structure configured to expose cervical region comprising, a first duck-billed blade forming a hollow cylinder at one end and a second duck-billed blade coupled to the first blade to form part of a speculum, in that the cervical region is exposed through circular area of the hollow cylinder, a pair of “L” shaped rods attached to the hollow cylinder of the first blade such that they are diagonally opposite and symmetric on either side of the exposed cervical region, and a detachable holder with a housing to hold a secondary unit and at least a pair of hooks to mount on the “L” shaped rods, the secondary unit further comprising, a camera for capturing an image of the exposed cervical region, a processor and a visual indicator to determine and indicate presence or absence of the cervix cancer from the image.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting cervical cancer comprising a mechanical structure configured to expose cervical region comprising a supporting rod, and an image capturing unit to capture cervix images and determine abnormalities in the cervix region based on preprogrammed instructions, wherein the image capturing unit is coupled to the mechanical structure on the supporting rod. The image capturing unit is coupled to the mechanical structure by means of a detachable unit mounted on the supporting rods of the mechanical structure. The detachable unit comprises a housing to hold the image capturing unit and at least a pair of extension hooks outside its peripheral surface to mount on the supporting rods securely. The image capturing unit captures plurality of images before and after application of a chemical substance on the cervix region and determines abnormalities based on temporary change in color and texture of the cervix region due to application of the chemical substance.
