Researchers from Centre for Computational and Data Sciences (CCDS), the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Department of IIT Kharagpur, and KIIT, Odisha, developed an app by integrating AI-based techniques such as deep learning and federated learning. The resulting web application, named CerviSpectraDiag, is inexpensive and capable of detecting early-stage cervical cancer from spectral data on low-power devices such as smartphones or tablets. The app features two core components—one that classifies spectral scans, and another that generates explanations or diagnostic insights. The app rapidly generates diagnostic reports in English or Hindi that any patient can understand. It also maintains a patient’s privacy, offering an alternative to standard biopsies that are painful and time-consuming.

This research has been published in IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems (Q1-ranked, SCIE and Scopus indexed, Impact Factor: 4.9). You can view the publication here: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/11022709 .

The prestigious Nature India also featured the work in its August Research Spotlight. You can read the article here: https://www.nature.com/articles/d44151-025-00158-3 .
