Description

The Healthspotting project addresses the global burden of breast cancer in the developing world by developing Instascan, a portable, noninvasive screening solution utilizing HipMed and H-Cube technologies. This project, part of the ATTRACT initiative, combines Design Thinking and Service Design methodologies. Practical implementation includes extensive research, workshops, and a social awareness campaign to overcome cultural barriers. The primary goal is to make cancer screening accessible and affordable, increasing early detection and improving survival rates. Further development and collaboration with NGOs and local governments are planned to ensure broader impact and sustainability.
