Hume

Hume is a coprological test kit that allows for quick and efficient results, not only through the use of technology but also in a more humane way by improving people's interaction with fecal matter. Hume reduces the sensory contact points with feces, allowing users to feel less uncomfortable during the collection and handling of stool.
Concept
nfectious and parasitic gastrointestinal diseases pose significant health threats to children under five in developing regions, resulting in 1.9 million deaths annually. This alarming statistic is akin to losing nearly half the population of a major city like Los Angeles. Acute diarrhea, the second leading cause of child mortality, highlights the urgent need for effective healthcare and clean water services. The World Health Organization estimates that up to 93% of these deaths can be prevented with timely diagnosis and interventions. To address this, we developed a rapid and efficient diagnosis kit aimed at improving the quality of life and reducing mortality rates for children aged 3 to 10. Key Features: Comfortable Sample Collection: The kit includes a specially designed seat for children to comfortably position themselves, directing the sample into a biodegradable container that conceals visual and olfactory interactions. Portable and Distributable: The flat-pack kit design ensures easy distribution to remote and hard-to-reach areas. Advanced Analysis Module: Equipped with a camera and AI vision model, the analysis module detects and catalogs parasites in the sample. An odor detector identifies specific markers, aiding in precise diagnosis. Quick Results Transmission: Results are transmitted via Bluetooth to medical personnel's mobile devices, facilitating swift medical decision-making and treatment assignment. Environmentally Friendly: The disposable container biodegrades after use, minimizing plastic waste. By enabling rapid diagnosis and reducing the logistical challenges of traditional methods, this innovative kit plays a crucial role in lowering child mortality rates in developing regions
