Anti-hair loss helmet for chemo patients wins 2024 James Dyson Award
Innovative Design for Chemotherapy Patients: The Athena helmet, developed by Olivia Humphreys, is a groundbreaking device designed specifically for chemotherapy patients to reduce hair loss through scalp cooling. It features a battery-powered system that circulates cooled water around the scalp, providing an effective and patient-controlled solution that can be used outside of clinical settings.
Cost-Effective Alternative: This helmet is notably affordable, priced at a twentieth of existing scalp-cooling technologies, making it accessible for more patients undergoing chemotherapy. This affordability aims to democratize access to scalp-cooling therapy, which has traditionally been limited by high costs.
Enhanced Patient Autonomy: The portable design of the Athena helmet empowers patients by allowing them to manage their treatment at home or during commutes, thereby reducing the time spent in healthcare facilities. This flexibility not only enhances comfort but also promotes a sense of autonomy during a challenging treatment process
