Award: Future Impact Pencil
Future Impact Pencil / Future Impact / Design / Emerging Talent / 2024
ViWipe is the world's first non-invasive, low-cost, paper-based HPV self-test that empowers young women to prevent cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is one of the biggest killers among young women, with half avoiding smear tests due to embarrassment and fear. Viwipe utilizes menstrual blood and dried blood spot technology for a women-centric, fast, and accurate HPV DNA test—as simple as using toilet paper. Priced under 5 pounds, it delivers results in 30 minutes. Through free on-campus tests and community engagement, Viwipe aims to save lives and reshape the future of cervical health.
