In parallel, Non-Pharmacological Interventions (NPI) are evaluated by science on a regular basis and are showing their efficiency. The list of these NPI practices expands each month as clinical studies progress.  

How to analyze and extract this knowledge from millions of research articles is where Kalya comes in. Offering the first AI-based research assistant dedicated to the promotion and acceleration for decision making in NPI for cancer and other chronic diseases.

]]> Ovolution is developing testing strips that use menstrual blood to screen for Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome (PCOS), a medical condition affecting up to 1 in 7 women of childbearing age worldwide.

Late-diagnosis is a devastating problem with PCOS, with complications ranging from infertility to Type-2 Diabetes. Despite being widespread, most women lack access to PCOS screening, due to barriers including geographical inaccessibility, high cost, and lack of awareness (stigmatization).

Our innovation removes these barriers and allows all women to get a screening. Sustainably, the innovation would also revolutionize the Feminine Hygiene Product industry that produces over 200,000-tonnes of plastic waste annually.

Uniquely, Dorothy works independently and deploys rapidly, allowing new care options while supporting COVID-19 distancing.

Dorothy is, unlike wearables, accepted by dementia patients and encourages autonomy, with some users navigating independently for the first time.

Our mix of common hardware and unique implementation allows anyone to provide care and, in the future, help them isolate problems before they happen.

-huge time gap between doctor consultations for diabetic patients. Leading to severe health complications

-lack of daily monitoring and guidance, leading to health complications.

Our current prototype can only compete with other solutions; however we are aiming to push this prototype with the help of AI system to innovate many other software and hardware products by learning about the country’s culture and lifestyle.
