Digital Health Talks: 1 in 3 Women Unscreened On Closing the Cervical Cancer Gap

Author: Healthcare NOW Radio and Podcast Network - Radio and Podcasts for the Healthcare Industry June 5, 2026 Duration: 26:58
1 in 3 Women Unscreened On Closing the Cervical Cancer Gap Despite cervical cancer being nearly 100% preventable through routine screening, almost one in three U.S. women are behind, and the numbers have been moving in the wrong direction for a decade. Kara Egan, CEO and Co-Founder of Teal Health, left a career as a health tech investor to fix one of the most overlooked gaps in women's preventive care. In May 2025, Teal received the only FDA authorization for at-home cervical cancer screening, and just seven months later had scaled to all 50 states. In this conversation, Kara breaks down what it actually takes to redesign a screening process that hasn't meaningfully changed in 80 years, how regulatory alignment and updated clinical guidelines are reshaping the landscape, and what at-home diagnostics signal for the future of preventive care and women's health access broadly.
