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.

在其最基本的形式，矩阵是一个21世纪的替代窥器，一个数字化的设备，旨在为病人的舒适和自我使用的临床设置。矩阵是破坏侵入性的仪器，是窥器和其文化不适当的应用。窥器广泛用于妇科。它并不是一种小众产品--女性和有子宫的人一生中至少会在例行和紧急的妇科预约中遇到它几次。Matrix是一个具有激进和开创性理念的用例--一种将患者体验和对母婴身体的生理理解置于设计和制造的最前沿的理念。Matrix是一个数据生成生态系统。它使患者能够完全控制体验，同时在独特的数字存档中传输用于实时评估的视觉数据，可以为治疗和进一步研究提供信息。临床路径非常简单，对临床医生和患者都很直接。一个人参加他们的盆腔预约并收集矩阵工具包。首先，他们应用数字化设备（在这种情况下是格洛丽亚）拍摄摄影图像。然后使用拭子采集样本，视觉数据直接传输到临床医生办公室的屏幕上。临床医生不需要离开他们的办公桌。他们可以审查结果，并在患者自我检查的同时开出临床路径和治疗方案。我们的使命是证明窥器的未来不是一个窥器，我们将通过民主化，分散化和非殖民化的妇女健康和护理来实现这一目标。
