Limerick woman's scalp-cooling device inspired by her mother's chemotherapy selected for Dyson Award final
Briefly

"Hair loss during chemotherapy is an extremely prominent issue and it's an incredibly upsetting thing to have to face when you're facing a diagnosis."
"My first goal was to increase the accessibility of the product," she said, emphasizing the importance of making scalp cooling more available to patients.
"Athena, a portable, thermoelectric battery-operated scalp cooling device, aims to be more cost-effective and time-saving than current hospital models."
"Unlike current products that require patients to stay in a ward for long periods, Athena allows users to receive treatment from home."
