1. Real-World Problem It Solves

Oral cancer is one of the most common cancers in countries like India, but most cases are detected very late—when treatment is difficult, costly, and survival rates are low. Early detection could save thousands of lives, but regular checkups are rare due to cost, lack of awareness, or distance from specialists.

2. Gaps in Current Solutions / Market

Existing detection often happens at advanced stages.

Screening requires specialist dentists/oncologists, which are unavailable in rural areas.

No widely accessible low-cost, at-home solution exists for routine screening.

3. Who Benefits

Users / Patients → Early, affordable detection at home using just a smartphone camera.

Doctors / Hospitals → Get pre-screened patients with higher chances of successful treatment.

Community / Public Health → Reduced healthcare costs, lower mortality, and more awareness.

4. Why This Problem Matters to Me

I’ve seen how diseases like cancer often go unnoticed until it’s too late—especially for people who don’t have easy access to hospitals. A cheap, AI-driven tool could give millions of people a fighting chance, especially in underserved areas.
