Usability of a smartphone-compatible, confocal micro-endoscope for cervical cancer screening in resource-limited settings
Our findings demonstrate the feasibility of using the SCME by lower cadre staff in low-resource settings to aid diagnosis of precancerous lesions. However, more work is needed to make it easier for providers to learn how to operate the SCME and capture high-quality confocal images.
