Development of a Digital Tool for Showing Test Results from Cervical Cancer Screening

Abstract

Cervical cancer screening is an effective way of detecting and preventing precancer from further developing. Especially when it´s done in the recommended frequency. However, the constant evolving screening guidelines make it difficult for both the doctors and screening participants to interpret test results and decide on the follow-up procedures. Not to mention that screening participants have limited access to their test results. Therefore, built upon the user requirements we collected from co-design workshops earlier, we have developed a digital solution aiming for enhancing transparency and accessibility. The prototype has 4 main features: (i) Latest screening result; (ii) Screening over-view; (iii) My data; and (iv) Information page. The wireframe was programmed into web application with assistance from AI tools. We discussed the design challenges while developing the digital solution and concluded with a few design recommendations: (i) Balanced amount of information; (ii) Personalized risk communication; (iii) Provide reliable and accessible information. We have also identified some advantages and disadvantages of using AI tools to assist the coding process. Future work should involve a diverse sample of end users for testing the effectiveness and usability of the prototype as well as further investigating the use of AI tools to enhance code development.
