If most of the questionnaires are answered in the affirmative, the health worker will then take high quality lesion picture using the phone camera. After clicking the picture, the entire data is uploaded on the server for the specialists to take a look and analyse the case.

"This picture can be taken by the mobile phone camera and with the optics of the recent camera the quality of picture is fairly good. So, all most like an expert going to the community and seeing the patient ourselves, so, they (health workers) take a picture then completing all the constituents and taking picture they press a button and with the button they can transfer the entire details through internet," said Dr. Moni Abraham.

It takes only two minute for a cancer specialist to decide whether the person in question is affected with cancer. Dr. Abraham said: The next development will be that the software will be given to telephone vendors to be uploaded in their phones.
