Today was a really cool day at FHI 360. We were very fortunate to listen in to a meeting with Nimmi Ramanujam, a professor of Biomedical Engineering at Duke. She presented her extraordinarily work on making a colposcope smaller and more affordable. Prof. Ramanujam and her team a Duke created, what they call, a POCkeT colposcope. Their device is very small and extremely less expensive than a normal colposcope, so it can be more accessible to those around the world. I was very amazed by their innovative approach and look forward to seeing the future of the POCkeT colposcope.
Another exciting (and a bit scary) part of the day was presenting our ideas to the FHI360 staff on a video they can use for promotion. Our concept was doing white board drawing but incorporating real life objects. The meeting went well, and I am excited to move forward with the project!
