About your organization / profile

1 in 8 women will have breast cancer (BC) at least once, with it being the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide. Shockingly, although BC is one of the most treatable cancers, it is the most deadly cancer in women. The main reason for this is not a lack of treatment options but rather a lack of accessibility to an early-stage diagnosis. Indeed, mammography does not provide clear visualization of small tumors in young women, who have dense breast tissue. Hence, most healthcare systems only invite women aged 50-69 to mammogram-based screenings, but 27% of BCs will happen to young women outside the screening age.

This is why we have built The Blue Box. Our technology is more sensitive (88.33% vs 56.10%) and accurate (83.32% vs 70.40%) than mammography for young women (<50). I.e., an additional 30% of women with BC could be diagnosed with The Blue Box. We will provide women aged 20-49 with a reliable, accessible radiation-free, pain-free, low-cost and easy-to-operate device to detect breast cancer in urine, so that they can be breast cancer diagnosed in time.

Our participation in PFH last year

Our Ops Lead, Lidia Navarro Farré, PhD, and Scientific Advisor, Prof. Fadi Kurdahi, represented our team in the Prototypes for Humanity week.

💡PFH has selected 100 innovations from universities worldwide to be exhibited during #COP28. PFH will award a prestigious prize at COP28 to a promising and innovative technology addressing one of the most pressing problems of humanity. Wish us luck! 🤞🏽

💡Today, Lidia and Prof. Kurdahi have shared our goal to democratize access to #breastcancer prevention with the Princess of Dubai, Her Highness Sheikha Latifa Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum!

#WorldBreastCancerAwareness Day

✨ Prevention is key to avoiding late #diagnosis, aggressive treatments, and ultimately reducing mortality rates caused by #BreastCancer.

👉🏾 Screening for Breast Cancer should be #accessible, pain-free, quick, easy, and #non-invasive. At The Blue Box we have spent 2+ years working together with 7 hospitals to provide *all* women with an accessible and reliable breast cancer #screening tool.

👏🏽 Having validated our technology with data from 450+ women, we're presenting today, on #WorldBreastCancerAwareness Day, The Blue Box 5.0. This version has demonstrated a #sensitivity of 87.3% and #specificity of 79.3% in our pre-clinical studies, and is on track to undergo clinical trials in Q2/Q3-2024 and be launched into the market in Q1-2025.
