Cooler Heads Amma™ – Brustkrebsüberlebende schafft Lösung, um Patientinnen die Chance zu geben, ihre Haare während der Chemotherapie zu behalten

Shared by MJJacinto on 2023-02-17 15:31

Über die Lösung

Studien zeigen, dass eine Vielzahl von Frauen den chemoinduzierten Haarausfall als den „traumatischsten“ Aspekt der Chemotherapie betrachten, und fast 10 % sagen, dass sie die Behandlung ablehnen würden, nur um ihn zu vermeiden.
Die Kopfhautkühlung, von der einige Patienten sagen, dass sie sich anfühlt, als hätte man einen Eisbeutel auf dem Kopf, kann vielen Patienten helfen, alle oder die meisten ihrer Haare vor dem Ausfallen zu bewahren, einer häufigen Nebenwirkung der Chemotherapie, da die Kälte die Blutgefäße verengt und dies verhindert krebsbekämpfende Chemikalien daran hindern, die Haarfollikel zu erreichen.
Aber Kate Diligans Erfahrung war unhandlich und teuer und erforderte die Hilfe eines White-Glove-Service, der alle 20 bis 30 Minuten Trockeneispackungen auf ihren Kopf legte, während Chemikalien in ihren Körper gepumpt wurden. Der Prozess funktionierte, aber Kate war überzeugt, dass es einen besseren Weg gab.
Als Absolventin der Stanford Business School und langjährige Führungskraft im Technologiebereich nutzte Kate ihr Netzwerk, um Designingenieure zu finden, die die Physik rund um ein tragbares Verschließsystem untersuchen und dann einen Prototyp bauen und testen. Sie wollte ein Kopfstück, das flexibel und sicher genug ist, um auf dem Kopf jeder Person zu bleiben, und eine Kühleinheit, die mit der Kappe verbunden bleibt und selbst nach dem Trennen von der Stromquelle und Reisen mit einem Patienten fast einfriert.
Kate trat einem Tech Accelerator in San Diego bei, wo sie lebt, und sammelte 2019 in einer Seed-Runde 1,4 Millionen US-Dollar, was ihr half, den Prototyp fertigzustellen. Bis Dezember 2021 wurde die Amma-Kappe von Cooler Heads von der Food and Drug Administration zur Kommerzialisierung freigegeben, was es Kate ermöglichte, weitere 2,4 Millionen US-Dollar an Risikokapital aufzubringen. Sie ging im Juli an die Öffentlichkeit mit der Absicht, Kappen direkt an Verbraucher zu vermieten oder sie an Chemo-Infusionszentren zu verkaufen, damit diese sie an Patienten verleihen können.

Amma Cap ist ein tragbares Gerät zur Kühlung der Kopfhaut, das aus Kates Startup Cooler Heads hervorgegangen ist. Amma™ ist so konzipiert, dass es tragbar ist und vom Patienten vollständig selbst verabreicht werden kann. Aufgrund der Mobilität des Geräts kann der Patient den Infusionsstuhl verlassen, um seine Kopfhautkühlungstherapie abzuschließen.

Cooler Heads erzielte in den ersten zwei Monaten auf dem Markt einen Umsatz von über einer Viertelmillion Dollar.

Über den Erfinder

Cooler Heads wurde 2018 von Kate Diligan (San Diego, USA), einer Tech-Unternehmerin und Brustkrebsüberlebenden, gegründet, um die Würde, Privatsphäre und Identität von Krebspatienten zu schützen. Nachdem bei Kate Brustkrebs diagnostiziert worden war, gab sie 8.000 US-Dollar für eine traditionelle Erkältungstherapie aus. Nach Gesprächen mit unzähligen Krebspatienten, die von den hohen Kosten, der schlechten Passform und der schwierigen Anwendung bestehender Methoden frustriert waren, war Kate entschlossen, einen besseren Weg zu finden.
