What is Elevate about?
The aim of the ELEVATE project is the development and validation of a cervical cancer self-testing device that can yield rapid, easy-to-understand results at low costs. Through an intervention the tool will be piloted in hard-to-reach communities in Belgium, Portugal, Ecuador and Brazil.
Our approach
The concept of the ELEVATE project is to enhance screening coverage for cervical cancer, particularly for hard-to-reach women. A new, point-of-care detection test will be designed targeting HPV infections and biomarkers of cancer development, in women from different ethno-geographic origins and socioeconomic classes.
