WE ARE THE SKLODOWSKA GANG!!!
LEARN ABOUT OUR JOURNEY
We took part of the Challenge Based Innovation (CBI) where we worked with CERN, one of the world’s leading research centres in particle physics, for the purpose of making disruptive innovation for societal impact.
​
At CBI we managed to apply our hard skills to challenging projects, in an entrepreneurial setting. We worked in a multidisciplinary team, develop our critical thinking and got hands-on to make our ideas real through prototyping and testing.
About Us
We’re a young and talented group of students partaking in CBI (Challenge Based Innovation), where we work with CERN, one of the world’s leading research centres in particle physics, to make disruptive innovations for societal impact. We are the SkÅ‚odowska Gang, and we developed a solution to help the Serbian health system to support its population with Atherosclerosis (Plaque built up in coronary arteries).
The Solution
We have reimagined the CT scanner to make the silent killer visible finally. Our scanner is smaller, way cheaper and significantly more straightforward to use than a traditional CT scanner. Therefore we can instal them in smaller, more accessible points of care worldwide.
​
With our scanners, patients can enter our machines which rotate around them and produce an accurate image of their heart in 30 seconds. We can significantly simplify the mechanical design by focusing solely on the cardiac region. Using POSICS-2 technology, we can achieve the required sensitivity and slice count at a much lower cost.
