“The all-in-one Pap smear innovation eliminates shadows cast by the hand of the healthcare professional to better visualise the cervix. It is also ergonomically designed for improved ease of collecting sufficient cervical cells from the correct area of the cervix, resulting in accurate diagnostic test results compared to conventional Pap smear tools” said Professor Dr Chong Pei Pei, the Digital Health and Medical Advancement Impact Lab Director, and a Professor at the School of Biosciences, Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences at Taylor’s University.

The event also presented a Pap test simulation at Taylor’s Virtual Online Future Technology & Extended Reality (VORTEX XR) Lab. This unique experience showcased the differences between conventional Pap tests and PapLite Pro™, highlighting its innovative features and benefits.

“In Malaysia, cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women aged 15 to 44. In 2020 alone, there were 1,740 new cases reported, with a mortality rate of 57%. These alarming figures are largely due to challenges like cultural stigmas, invasive screening techniques, patient preferences, and lack of awareness, all of which hinder the progress of cervical cancer screening uptakes.

PapLite Pro™ represents a potential game-changer in cervical screening for healthcare professionals, offering a more technologically advanced version for enhanced visualisation and precision of cell sampling,” said Dr Kavinash Loganathan, Research Coordinator at the National Cancer Society of Malaysia.
