Cancer screening at home is being made possible by a new system of cervical cancer prevention co-developed 
by the Heidelberg University Hospital. It only requires the relevant software, an 
Internet connection and a test. Nurses visit women in Kenyan villages, take smears and send the specimens to a 
central laboratory.
