SNT Biotech Featured on NBC 5 Chicago for Advancing At-Home Cervical Cancer Screening
June 22, 2026
SNT Biotech Founder and CEO Shital Daftari was featured on NBC 5 Chicago's Tech Trends with reporter Charlie Wojciechowski to discuss how at-home HPV screening can help expand access to cervical cancer screening and improve preventive care for women across the United States.
The segment highlighted how technology and innovation are helping remove barriers that have historically prevented many women from completing recommended cervical cancer screening.
Nearly 25 million women in the United States are behind on cervical cancer screening or have never been screened. These gaps are greatest among Medicaid, ACA Marketplace, rural, and other underserved populations, where transportation, work schedules, childcare responsibilities, language barriers, and limited access to care often stand between patients and preventive screening.
At SNT Biotech, we believe innovation is only meaningful when it reaches the people who need it most.
We partner with health plans, health systems, employer groups, FQHCs, and community organizations to deploy end-to-end population health screening programs that improve access to preventive care and help close gaps in care.
Our comprehensive solution includes:
- FDA-cleared at-home HPV self-collection
- Multilingual member outreach and engagement
- Kit fulfillment and logistics
- CLIA and COLA accredited laboratory testing
- Physician oversight
- Real-time reporting and analytics
- Results delivered to both patients and their healthcare providers
While the NBC segment focused on cervical cancer screening, the same population health infrastructure also supports colorectal cancer screening (FIT), diabetes management (HbA1c), and kidney health (KED), helping organizations improve preventive care across multiple quality initiatives.
As Shital shared during the interview:
"Our mission has always been to build a company with scale and purpose, one that helps expand access to preventive care and ultimately saves lives through early detection."
We are grateful to NBC 5 Chicago for highlighting the importance of improving access to preventive screening and helping bring greater awareness to innovations that can improve health outcomes for millions of women.
