Huge congratulations to UL graduate Olivia Humphreys, the GLOBAL WINNER of the 2024 James Dyson Award in Medical Devices! We’re so proud of her accomplishment and excited to see Athena, her hair-loss prevention device for chemotherapy patients, make a difference in cancer care.
UL graduate Olivia Humphreys has been named as this year's global winner of the James Dyson Award under the Medical Devices category. Olivia developed her invention 'Athena' after witnessing her mother Vicky's battle with cancer. Athena is a portable, battery-operated scalp-cooling device for people undergoing chemotherapy treatment and was part of Olivia’s final year project for her BSc in Product Design and Technology at UL. Athena is designed to be more cost-effective and time-saving than hospital models without compromising on the quality. https://lnkd.in/efMcsXVM #StudyAtUL #HomeOfFirsts
