Summary
Dyson awards UK-based Dotplot, a home breast cancer detection device, for early diagnostic tech innovation. Dotplot, created by Debra Babalola and Shefali Bohra after a personal cancer scare, facilitates monthly guided self-checks and highlights developing tissue abnormalities via an app and handheld device. Despite its technical advancement, medics emphasize its supplementary role to professional consultations. Dotplot, also winner of Venture Catalyst Challenge and Helen Hamlyn Design Award, proceeds to Dyson's international award level.
