Working @ home with CytoProcessor® in the screening for Cervical Cancer
Fact:
Worldwide, there's a lack of cytotechnologists in Cervical Cancer screening.
Why not enable home office and remote work for cytotechnologists with the aid of Digital Cytology?
Nowadays, it’s already possible to diagnose the Liquid Based Cytology slides (#ThinPrep / #ILSA) in the screening for Cervical Cancer at home with CytoProcessor®!
Because!
With the introduction of primary HPV screening in several countries, it was thought that fewer cytotechnologists would be needed for routine screening.
As mentioned in CytoProcessor® Case N°9:
“Despite primary HPV screening, cytological testing for Cervical Cancer remains essential following an HPV-positive diagnosis.”
What happened...
In recent years, many experienced cytotechnologists have retired or are set to leave the profession.
The number of new cytotechnologists entering the field is too small to fill this gap, especially with the same level of experience.
Even with the introduction of Artificial Intelligence, experience, knowledge and ability to recognize various abnormalities remain indispensable for performing accurate and reliable diagnostics.
In the meantime:
Studies have already shown that Digital Cytology using the CytoProcessor® offers higher sensitivity than manual screening or screening with the Imager.¹
Why wait any longer to update the rules for remote work and break down barriers?
So we can help one another, both nationally and internationally, to continue Cervical Cancer screening for the women behind the Pap smears?
CytoProcessor® as the solution!
To bridge distances, CytoProcessor® is a global solution for Cervical Cancer screening as it enables remote work.
Even if you're stuck at home due to personal circumstances or extreme weather conditions - we all still remember situations like the COVID-19 pandemic 6 years ago.
No physical slides, no microscope at home.
You only need:
An internet connection
A 4K HD screen
A LIS connection to the relevant laboratory.
The CytoLearning certification
No excuses anymore!
During the diagnostic process, CytoProcessor® provides useful tools, such as the ClueZone button to mark relevant cells or the Share button to request a consultation with a remote colleague. And finally, cases can be discussed via video conference.
CytoProcessor®: diagnosing without borders, starting today!
