1 in 3 Women Unscreened: Closing the Cervical Cancer Gap
Episode 206
Tuesday, 9 June, 2026
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.
