Introduction: Cervical cancer is considered a public health problem due to its high incidence and mortality. New technologies could improve screening coverage by empowering women and bringing the procedures closer to the communities. Objectives: To perform the acceptability of the use of a portable device (Callascope) for self-imaging of the cervix in women from the community of Ventanilla-Callao, using the parameters of intention for future use and recommendation for use of the device. Design: A exploratory study of acceptability was carried out, in which information was collected through interviews with women before and after the use of the device. Results: The age range of the participants was 31-59 years; 46.7% reported secondary education. Nearly a third of women (33%) report 3 or more vaginal deliveries and at least 1 in 3 is in the obese range. Regarding the use of the callascope, 47% had no discomfort when inserting the device, 80% had no pain when moving it to view the cervix, and the majority (87%) removed the device without any discomfort. 40% of the women managed to take at least one optimal visualization image of the cervix. All participants reported that they would use the device again and would recommend its use to other women Participants suggested changes to the device to make it easier to use. Conclusions: The women of the community of Ventanilla (Ladys Hope) had good acceptability of the use of the callascope and some aspects for the improvement of the device were identified.
