This company designed an at-home cervical cancer test that lets you skip the trip to the OB-GYN

Not enough women are getting screened for cervical cancer. Teal Health’s new at-home HPV test, paired with a virtual doctor’s visit, can remove barriers to access.

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women. In the U.S., about 11,500 case are diagnosed a year, and there are 4,000 deaths a year according to the CDC. Yet screening rates are going down: In 2019 23% of women were overdue for a cervical cancer screening, up from 14% in 2005.
