Summary

This trial tests whether an animated health coach on a smartphone can help people who have abnormal cervical cancer screening results get the follow-up care they need. Many people skip these appointments, which can lead to preventable cancer. The study will enroll 750 adults aged 21 to 65 who have had an abnormal screening result. Participants will use the app to guide them through the screening and care process, and researchers will measure how many complete their diagnostic evaluation.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
An animated health coach on a smartphone that guides people through cervical cancer screening and care
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help more people get timely treatment for cervical precancer, potentially preventing cancer.
What could go wrong
The trial is early and the outcome depends on whether people actually use the app. It may not work for everyone or in all settings.
