In this episode, we’re joined by Eve McDavid and Dr. Onyinye Balogun, founders of Mission Driven Tech, a Cervical Cancer innovation company. Their story is an inspirational application of Breaking the Code's themes of inclusive design, varied expressions of pain, and uncomfortable conversations that save lives. Our discussion delves into women's health and cervical cancer, highlighting their current focus: their treatment tool called The Blossom, a medical device used in Brachytherapy, internal radiation procedures that cure Cervical Cancer. The Blossom is designed to alleviate the severe pain and trauma women endure during current brachytherapy procedures, pain so intense it sometimes leads patients to abandon treatment, a devastating and fatal decision.
Mission Driven Tech is raising capital to advance their groundbreaking work, and you can support them by contributing to their crowdfunding campaign featured on their website (https://missiondriventech.com/). Sharing this episode and the links below within your network can also help spread their important message and support their mission to save lives by modernizing cervical cancer treatments.
