OBJECTIVE GROUP

Our Project

Our project is directed mainly at radiologists and medical technologists, due to the fact they are constantly exposed to ionizing radiation, which is harmful to the body and accumulates over the years, causing from skin problems to different types of cancer.

THE PROBLEM

Biological Option

Blueberi is a biological option to dosimeters that it currently works to measure how much radiation the specialist was exposed. The problem with these devices is that the results can be affected by different external factors, as well as adulterations when the results are sent to the National Health Service.

THE SOLUTION

Potential Risk

Our project will give an immediate response to the high exposure to ionizing radiation, thanks to the use of genetically modified bacteria that will sense the mutation of the DNA. It's going to change color and release a Lemon scent, so the specialist has a double warning that the professional is in a potential risk.
