Matrix: Female Health and Care

就其最基本的形式而言，MATRIX是21世纪窥镜的替代品，后者是一种数字化设备，专为患者在临床环境中的舒适和自我使用而设计。MATRIX正在颠覆作为窥镜的侵入性仪器及其在文化上的不适当应用。窥镜在妇科中应用广泛。这不是小众--女性和有子宫的人一生中至少会在常规和紧急的妇科预约中遇到它几次。Matrix不仅仅是一种产品或服务。Matrix是一个具有激进和开拓性理念的用例--一种将患者体验和对母体-女性身体的生理理解放在设计和制造的前沿的理念。Matrix是一个数据生成生态系统。它使患者能够完全控制体验，同时将视觉数据传输到一个独特的数字档案中进行实时评估，从而为治疗和进一步研究提供信息。临床路径非常简单，对临床医生和患者来说都是直截了当的。一个人参加了他们的骨盆预约，并收集了母体套件。首先，他们应用数码设备(在这种情况下是Gloria)来拍摄照片。然后，患者用棉签采集样本，视觉数据直接在临床医生办公室的屏幕上传输。临床医生不需要离开办公桌。他们可以在患者自我检查的同时审查结果并开出临床路径和治疗方案。这将通过节省时间和金钱来加强临床实践，并优化临床结果。我们的使命是证明窥视镜的未来不是窥视镜，我们将通过民主化、分散和非殖民化妇女的健康和护理来做到这一点。

In its most fundamental form, Matrix is a 21st century replacement of the speculum, a digitally enabled device designed for patient comfort and self-use in a clinical setting.Matrix is disrupting the invasive instrument that is the speculum and its culturally inappropriate application. The speculum is widely used in gynaecology. It's not niche -- women and people with uteruses come across it at least a few times in their lifetimes during routine and urgent gynaecological appointments.Matrix is not only a product or a service offering. Matrix is a use case with radical and pioneering philosophy -- a philosophy which places patient experience and physiological understanding of the maternal-female body at the forefront of design and manufacture.Matrix is a data-generating ecosystem. It enables the patient to fully control the experience, whilst transmitting visual data for real-time assessment in a unique digital archive that can inform treatment and further research.The clinical pathway is very simple is straightforward for both the clinician and the patient. A person attends their pelvic appointment and collects the matrix kit. First, they apply the digitally enabled device (in this instance is Gloria) to take a photographic image. Then the person uses the swab to take a specimen sample.The visual data is transmitted directly on-screen in the clinician's office. The clinician does not need to leave their desk. They can review results and prescribe clinical pathways and treatments whilst patients self-examine themselves. This will enhance the clinical practice by saving time, money and optimise clinical outcomes.We are on a mission to prove that the future of the speculum is not a speculum and we will do this by democratising, decentralising and decolonising women's health and care.
