Grace - Health Technology for a safe and effective solution to menopausal hot flushes and night sweats

在英国，每年大约有30万女性开始出现潮热症状。它们让人不舒服、尴尬，最重要的是不方便，无论白天黑夜，随时都在袭来。选择解决方案可能会令人困惑和困难。这样的日子可能很快就会过去。进入Grace（产品名称），世界上第一个自动跟踪和冷却手环，准备检测和抵御你的冲水一天24小时。格蕾丝的目标是在你意识到自己将要潮热之前检测出潮热。这时，你手腕上的一个冷却贴片就会被激活，目的是消除脸红的影响。完全自动化的Grace还可以在你睡觉的时候戴上，防止盗汗。该项目的目的是证明Grace的技术和商业可行性。这将通过创建原型和招募有严重症状的女性来验证性能来实现。我们的联盟汇集了医疗产品开发、制造和商业化方面的领先专家。此外，拉夫堡大学在全国大学排名表中排名很高，连续三年在QS世界大学学科排名中排名世界第一，是验证Grace性能的项目合作伙伴。成功的项目交付将使我们的愿景能够改变全球对污名化的健康状况的看法，为设计的卫生技术被看到铺平道路。

Around 300,000 women start experiencing hot flushes every year in the UK. They are uncomfortable, embarrassing and above all inconvenient, striking any time - day and night. Choosing a solution can be confusing and difficult. Those days could soon be gone.Enter Grace (product name), the world's first automated tracking and cooling bracelet, ready to detect and fend off your flushes 24 hours a day. Grace aims to detect a hot flush before you know you're going to have one. At that point, a cooling patch is activated on your wrist, aiming to reverse the effects of a flush. With full automation, Grace can also be worn while you're asleep to combat your night sweats.The aim of the project is to demonstrate technical and commercial feasibility of Grace. This will be achieved by creating prototypes and recruiting highly symptomatic women to validate performance.Our consortium brings together leading experts in the development, manufacture and commercialisation of medical products. Furthermore, Loughborough University, highly-rated in national university league tables and ranked No.1 in the world in the QS World University Rankings by Subject for three years in a row, is a project partner to validate the performance of Grace.Successful project delivery will enable our vision to change global perceptions of stigmatised health conditions, paving the way for health-tech designed to be seen.
