First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a web-based tool called the Cancer Tracking System (CATSystem) that sends automated texts and alerts to help women in Kenya get timely cervical cancer screening and follow-up care. About 6,600 women across 10 hospitals will take part, with half the hospitals using the system and half providing standard care. The goal is to see if the system increases the number of women who receive guideline-recommended treatment after a positive screen.
