No research has been conducted to elicit and understand the requirements from cervical cancer patients and healthcare providers. Again, a very few studies have been conducted focusing on the design and development of digital/mobile solutions to assist cervical cancer patients in the context of Bangladesh. Hence, there exist significant gaps in research that need to be addressed.
