Yousuf Caires: What’s next for our Global Innovators?

How do you change the design of a device that was invented over one hundred years ago? Back in 2015, a medical entrepreneur in Cameroon named Conrad Tankou started a social venture called GIC Space that develops cutting edge technologies to target the most urgent health challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa. One of them is the smart speculum: a new take on the device invented in the mid-nineteenth century used to screen for cervical cancer. 

In today's episode, we're exploring Conrad's innovations at GIC Space, and how context is pivotal for the success of any business.

Conrad Tankou: A New Take on Screening Cervical Cancer

When Jurij Dreo read a book entitled, ‘Electric fields of the brain: the neurophysics of EEG’, he was quite happy to see that there are people out there that share his convictions when it comes to how the brain should be studied. It always seemed like a small wonder to Jurij that one is able to pick up a small EEG device and get a recording of what the brain is doing. 

 

Today, Jurij is the co-founder and Chief Technical Officer of a company called BrainTrip, based in Malta. BrainTrip is innovating quick and accessible screening tools for early detection of dementia. In today's episode, we're exploring Jurij's disruptive innovation and the challenges of having a startup in the medical sector.
