What they do

Problem

Most clinics worldwide lack the infrastructure and specialized staff to treat early-stage cervical precancer, leading to preventable cervical cancer.

Solution

A portable, low-cost cryoablation device that enables point-of-care freezing of abnormal cervical cells by nurses and primary care workers.

Who it's for

Primary care clinics and frontline healthcare workers (e.g., nurses and community health workers) providing cervical cancer prevention services.

Founders

Anu Parvatiyar
Founder

Cofounder & CEO at Ananya Health. I’m a medical device engineer turned public health technologist. I love building products that expand access to healthcare in emerging markets — from better data tools to improve childhood vaccination rates in Nigeria, to medical devices that allow nurses and midwives to deliver the same high-quality standard of medicine as specialized Ob/Gyns.
